It's Potty Time!

This pretty much sums up life as it is now! Potties, panties and snacks of course!

4th of July Do-over

Since the actually 4th of July day turned out to be yuck, there was do-over on the 5th. It actually worked out for the best because PawPaw and Gma Jacob got to join in on the fun!

We started off at the bouncy houses. Once Reese got the hang of it there was no stopping her!

Ava did the big slide all by herself!

We headed over to the Hoffman's to watch the parade. The girls were able to get rejuvenated drinking water and waiting for the parade to begin.

They loved eating their suckers and waving to everyone in the parade!

We ended the night watching fireworks with Gpa and Bebe. Ava was a little scared and Reese mostly just wanted to play in the dirt!

It was a great do-over day. The girls can't wait for their next parade!

Happy 4th of July!

A few weeks late......

Since the weather turned out to be a bust on the 4th of July, we had to stay indoors. Luckily aunt Sandy brought glow sticks and the girls modeled their creations for us!

Zootacular Bday!

Let me start out by wishing Aunt Cole a happy bday!! Today is her bday even though I'm going to write about mine! Pretty typical, wouldn't you say Cole? :-)

On July 3rd I celebrated my 30th bday, dun, dun, dunnnn!! I haven't had any 30th bday meltdowns, so I think I'm doing pretty good!

We spent the day with Nana, Papa, and Uncle Josh at the Glen Oak zoo and got to see the very cool Africa exhibit!

We started our day by getting to be right up close to a horsie (Ava and Reese's favorite animal)! Being close enough to touch it pretty much freaked Ava out and here she is still holding on to me.

We made our way over to the camels for a quick photo op

The girls really did think the Africa exhibit was cool, but they didn't want to spend as much time as daddy and Uncle Josh appreciating it, so you won't find many actually any pictures of the girls checking out the exhibit. Here's their favorite animal of the day.

Waiting on the guys...getting restless, but taking pics with Nana!

At this point Ava had informed us all that she wanted to go to Busy Corner and she was pretty much done!

And by now, we've hit zoo meltdown! Ava's pulling on my bag wanting to go and now I'm able to see Reese was just hanging out on her own...nice! :-)

The day ended with the girls chilling out and helping Josh on the computer!


Thanks for a great birthday!!

Posts Coming.....

To all my blog fans (Sharon and Jan :-)) I know I'm overdue on posting our trip to the zoo, 4th of July do-over and the latest craze in our home "panties". Yes, Ava has started wearing panties, she prefers referring to them as panties rather underwear and it's tons of fun of pee and poop and talking about the potty non-stop! Needless to say, we've been a little busy, but I'm hoping to get some pics up soon! I try to keep this blog rated G, so no worries, I don't have any pics of Ava actually going potty, but maybe that's because she doesn't always make it to the potty!!! I actually think Reese might be potty trained before Ava, just to spite her big sister! Yes, the sister rivalry has already started.....
