BIG NEWS...

I'm working today, but got a call from Jeremy saying that after a little fit, Braylen went potty on the big boy potty!!  We've been trying to sit him on his potty before bath time just to get used to it and he's been fighting me when I try it.  Well, daddy has the magic touch and as soon as he sat down, pee!!  Who thought we'd be so excited about this huh?  Will see how the rest of the potty training process goes, my prediction is it will stil be a while before fully training, but you've got to start somewhere, right?!

Playing outside

Friday was a beautiful afternoon, so after I picked up Bray from Gretchen's we went to the park.  This was Bray's first park experience and the Big toy was a little too big, but the smaller one was just right!!  We went to Jimmy and Kristin's after for burgers and hotdogs and played with Madison.  The kids rolled around in the grass, played ring around the rosey, played on a slide, played copy cat and chased each other, it was really so cute to watch just the 2 of them interact.  Other than the bloody nose Bray got from falling into a bush, it was a fun night.

Mornings with mom

All week I'm working in the office until 9, YUCK, but I plan to make the most of my mornings at the house with Bray.  It was actually a nice morning, so we played on the deck for a while and went for a walk in his wagon, which he LOVES.  This is what else we did this morning...

He sat in this chair for about 15 minutes, just looking out into the yard

Played with his new water and sand toy, without either is still fun!

The rest of Easter weekend

We had the Fluhr's over Saturday night when we got home.  The kids had a great time playing, Braylen showed them his new basketball hoop!!  Sunday we went to church, had a Easter egg hunt at the house and then off to Grandma and Grandpa's for lunch and more hunting!!  What a great day and a fabulous weekend!

Jacksonville's turn...

We decided to spend a few days in Jacksonville before Easter Sunday, so we spent Friday and Saturday with my family.  Braylen had lots of fun hanging out with everyone, dogs included.  Unfortunately the weather was not great, but we enjoyed porch time and even got an Easter egg hunt in there.  Thanks for spending your weekend with us everyone.  We love you lots and can't wait to see you again!!
