Austin has started peeing on the potty. It is only the third day and he goes to the bathroom by himself to pee. And he loves to try!!! We still have number 2 to work with but he is doing a FABULOUS job.. considering a month ago it was a fight and not even worth the struggle. Because of my personal experience I definately agree with Shelly... children will potty train when they are ready.. and it has been much more rewarding and exciting for the both of us because we waited. The whole fighting thing was just not fun! The best birthday present was when I had my little boy so this present dosen't really even come close but I have to tell you it wa a really great gift.. thank you Austie Jo!

Memorable Day
Yesterday was one of two special days we have this month as an immediate family. And it was a great day. It started out with Austin peeing in the potty, which was a great gift. And a phone call from my mom to wish me happy birthday. It was a day off from my walk (which is only good because I didn't have to suffer from the heat and humdity otherwise it was a bummer). At 11 some friends picked me up (and we met some more friends) and we went to the Olive Garden for their soup, salad, and breadsticks special. This tasted amazing.. there is something about their salad that is so good. Its the dressing but when you buy the dressing it still dosen't compare to the salad at the restaurant. It was so fun to sit and socialize with my friends.. even though we all had our children they were well behaved and we were able to enjoy ourselves. Anyways.. we came home and I received a phone call that melted my heart.. it was my 3 neices singing happy Birthday to me, with my sister in the background holding my nephew who was cooing the song to me. It did almost make me cry!! I miss those girls and that little guy. After the call we got a huge SURPRISE.. Dustin finished work early so he was home to spend the rest of the day with us. While I was preparing for the highlight of the night.. I got a phone call from my brother Martin wishing me a Happy Birthday (thank you for remembering). Then for the first time in I don't know how long Dustin and I got a real date.. without any kids... it was so nice!!! Our friends babysat for us so we could go out. It was an enjoyable evening just the two of us becoming acquainted again. And the best part was we could talk without being interrupted. It was wonderful! When we returned to our friends to get our boys they surprised me with a birthday cake, And they had had company so there were more of our friends there to help me celebrate my birthday. Too top it off when I checked my email I received a wonderful ecard wishing me a happy birthday from my brother's family. Thank you to everyone who remembered my birthday and helped me celebrate.. you all made it a truly wonderful and special day!!
A Tribute to Poppop
This movie won't make much sense to anyone who does not know my father well, however, it was important that we post it so that Poppop could see that his little buddy will never forget him. He misses poppop as much even more than poppop misses him. He can't nor can his brother wait to see poppop at the end of the month. We love you dad... Have a great Father's Day.

Memorial Day
The slide show below is of our adventurous Memorial day. We had a picnic with our friends from the branch. WE went to one park but it was so full.. and the parking RIDICULOUS that we ended up at a different park that was just as beautiful and fun. The boys got to feed geese (who were very protective of their babies so they would hiss, stare us down, and even chase us). They got to watch the train go by (like Grandpa Ricky rode on (Austin's words)), play on the playground, and play in a huge sandbox that they loved. But the cherry on the sunday was the SPRINKLER PARK. Austin loved it and had fun playing there with his friends Connor, Brooke, and Willem. Mason wanted nothing to do with all that water spraying everywhere and the crazy kids running through it. But it was fun to watch his CRAZY brother get soaking wet. Although we were missing our family we ended up having a fun filled fantastic day with our friends.

SPLASH...
We went to the mountains last night to play in the river. The boys had tons of fun.. Austin even cried when we left. While we were up there we skipped stones in the river, threw mud (Mason), and went wading. Mason even went wading in shoes and he decided that he wanted to try out fishing like a duck and face planted into the water. We thought after his reaction that we would have to leave but to our astonishment our little guy wanted to go back for more over and over again.
