Leah's new weird face

Leah invented this face while we were grocery shopping at Wal-mart yesterday.... I guess she was getting bored. She flashed her "weird" face at every customer and clerk. I couldn't get her to stop it! So weird!

Riding lawn mower

I'm not sure if it's actually legal to drive riding lawn mowers down city streets..... but no one seemed to mind. (Thanks for letting us borrow your lawn mower, Papa Paul!)




























And who knew, it could be transformed into a 3 passenger mower?!

I love this boy!

This 3 year old is a sweet kinda trouble! A mischieveious little boy that's witty and smart.

His voice wakes the WHOLE house every morning and his little feet patter down the hall every nite.

He's scared of "funder" and full of energy.

And even though he averages about 3 spankings a day, I still thank the Lord for my ornery Mr. Devon!

Bucket of Fun

This is the bucket of toys we keep in our van.












This is the bucket minus the toys on Leah's head.


















I don't know where she comes up with these ideas?......

Leah's "proud" face!

Last Tuesday Leah gave me the signal that she might be ready to potty-train. We were at dinner and she immediately said "shooey" after she poopied in her diaper.... This has got to be a sign, right? (Leah will be 17 mo. old tomorrow.)
So on Wednesday, I pulled down the little potty chair from up in her closet and we ALL had a pee-pee party. Leah sat on her potty and made poo-poo and pee-pee noises while Ella and Devon showed her how they potty on the real toilet.
That afternoon she woke up from nap with a dry diaper so I sat her on the potty and she peed!!!! Maybe just luck, but whatever, we partied and danced around and called everyone to tell them the good news.
Since then.... no pee, but no pressure either. She's sat on the potty a few times during the last couple days, but with no success.
WELL, today is another exciting day!!! At snack time she told me "shooey".... I checked her diaper - no poop. So I sat her on her potty chair, gave her a couple of Elmo books to read and "Voila!" her first poopy in the potty! (Yes, I have a picture, but I'll spare you this time) She was SOO proud.
