The Big Miss

So this morning I showed Carsen that he could get up on the potty all by himself. He usually waits for me and sits there till I take him down. So I got out the stool and he got all undressed and then got up and down about 50 times. I was thinking this was great because now he could just go by himself and I wouldn't have to run down the hallway to help him out. I was WRONG. He decided later this afternoon that he would try to go by himself so he went in did his thing and came back out to me. The he ran in again and back out and said "Mama, come see the water". Not the words that I wanted to hear. So I went in and apparently he either missed big time or just stood in the stool and peed all over the floor. Either way it was gross, the floor was completely soaked and there were little dirty footprints in it. FUN! So now I think I'll stick to running down the hallway so I don't have to clean up the mess.

Hey at least he's going on the potty again.

Update on the kids

Well my Hannah Banana is soon to be 18 months and just now has 10 teeth. She's growing like a weed though. She is also quite the little princess. As soon as you take the camera out she gets a big grin on her face and she knows how to make these cute little faces to get what she wants. She is talking so much now. She tries to say everything. Most of it most people wouldn't understand but I know what she means. Her favorite word is of course "no" with a close runner up being "Mama". She loves it when she sees Matt come into a room. She gets so happy saying "Hi, Daddy" although she says it "da-ing". It's so cute. She also LOVES to cause trouble and climb on anything and she screams at the top of her lungs if Carsen goes near a toy she is playing with. She loves to do everything Carsen is doing too.. she follows him around all day. She'll even lay on the floor and play trains with him.

Carsen is going to be 3 in just a few weeks. It's so sad to see him getting so much older. I just want to keep him little forever. He is sooo funny at this age and he has me laughing so hard sometimes. He has the best facial expressions I've ever seen and also some pretty great dance moves. Anyone who has seen it knows what I'm talking about. He is also my lovable little one who loves to give great hugs and Eskimo kisses. The other day we were in the car and he said something funny and I said " I love you buddy" and he said back " I love you Mama". That just about made my heart melt!

My kids drive me crazy and make me want to pull all my hair out and scream at the top of my lungs but I would never take away a single second of my time with them. They are crazy and funny and full of energy and I love that.

We're Moving!!!

Good Bye old Apartment!!

**This was the first picture we took of Carsen once we moved into the apartment we are in now.**

We will soon be moving out of this wonderful apartment on August 2nd. I will miss it here mostly because I have all the memories of the kids here. Carsen was 3 months old when we moved here so this is all he has known. We definitely need this move though. I was desperate for 3 bedrooms so the kids didn't have to share a room anymore. Hannah still isn't the best sleeper at night so it will be nice that she can't wake Carsen up! We will be moving into the downstairs apartment of Matt's parents. It's right in town and plenty of places to walk and plenty of parks for the kids to play at. I'm very excited about not having thousands of bugs swarming me when I go outside now. I think it's going to be a great move for us! Now I need to start packing. Ugh!!! That is the part of it I hate the most. I love unpacking but packing is just annoying! Even more now that I have 4 little hands that like to take something out of a box as soon as I put it in.
