New Venture

Okay so I know I mentioned a while ago that I had a new venture I'm partaking on. Well this new venture is being a consultant for Thirty One Gifts. I am just doing this very lightly on the side for fun and for a good discount! :-) They have wonderful products, are a christian-based company and what woman doesn't love bags, purses and organizational items?
I'm working on booking my first few parties but if you're intersted in hosting a party, ordering any of their products or learning more about the company, just let me know!

I will put a permanent link on the side of the blog soon so you can check it out any time!

Semi-Wordless Wednesday

Double Trouble in a Double Stroller...this was from when we went to the Farmer's Market a couple weeks ago.

Opinions...

Brady is really starting to express his preference for things and his opinions. He now has to pick out his clothes every day and it's getting challenging because he only wants to wear purple or green. These are his favorite colors right now...so he rotates purple and green shirts every.single.day! Aghh! Anyway, he loves this hat of daddy's because it has purple in it...

State Fair Fun

On Saturday morning we headed to the State Fair. The weather was perfect and we went early enough that it wasn't super crazy busy yet. We had a lot of fun walking around and Brady loved all of the animals. One highlight was when we were in the Pig barn there was a pig getting corraled and it started running towards us. It was a tad scary at first but pretty funny after it was over. Here are some pics from our adventures!


I love this face! Pure excitement!

I think this was the highlight for Brady...he loved petting the 'baby cow'


He kept waving to the baby ducks

He loved the cows!

Hangin with Clifford

Brady loved his rice krispie treat on a stick


Daddy loved this police car!

Potty Training Time!

Well starting yesterday our daycare provider was going to focus her efforts on getting Brady potty-trained. 6 of her usual kids are gone all week on vacation so it's just Brady, Cale and Riley. She thought this would be a great opportunity to try it out on him and she thinks he's ready. Now, you might think it's ridiculous that our daycare lady is taking the lead on this...if you know our son, you'd know he obeys and listens to others more than Andy and myself (which is good and bad). For instance, Lori can trim his finger and toe nails but won't let Andy or I come even close to him with a clipper...Anyway, I'm so proud to report that he is doing awesome! He's gone on the potty multiple times today and has only had one accident! Woo Hoo! Lori also said that he is VERY proud of himself and is beaming ear to ear. What a ham! Let's hope he does as good of a job with mommy and daddy tonight. I can't believe my baby is already getting potty trained. Makes me a little sad!!!

Semi-Wordless Wednesday

He loves his 'Choo Choo' and Cars...he has to have them at all times!

Fun with Family

On Sunday Andy's Uncle Joe, Aunt Marilyn (from Springfield, MO) cousin Val and her boyfriend Mike (from Austin, TX), Aunt Lisa and Uncle Karl, Steve, Kris, Brad, Steph, Jaxson and Holden all came over to our house for a get-together. It was great to see everyone since it had been a while! We were able to chat, eat some food, spend some time outside and watch the boys play. We got out the little pool and did the usual water slide treatment and the boys had fun! The time went way too fast and before we knew it, it was time for everyone to leave. We hope we can see them all again sooner rather than later!
