The girls are potty Trained!

Okay, so I'm a little slow at pushing the whole potty training thing, but what do you expect when there are two involved. We have been at it since last Tuesday, and besides a few accidents from the night time, the girls are doing really well during the day. These deep sleepers of mine sleep right through it! But, I know it's just a matter of time before they pick that up too!

Easter Morning

Snowmobilin' Easter Weekend

The Crazy Community Hunt

Easter Egg Decorating



So sorry it's been a few weeks since the last post. I thought I'd update with a few of the activities we did leading up to Easter Sunday. At the start of the week we colored eggs with the girls for family night. We had a fun time. I think the girls had a fun time especially when their eggs dried so they could add Princess stickers to them. GIRLS!

Annual trip to Phoenix

So sorry we haven't posted for awhile. Where ever February went! We thought we'd update everyone on where we just got back from. A few years back Brad started a traditon with his brother and father to go down to Spring Training for Baseball (the Cubbies to be exact). It just so happens that they train in Phoenix, only six hours away. The last two years now the girls have been invited. This year our group was a little small because everyone had other priorities that had to be fulfilled. So It was our family and Aaron and Lisa. Yes the kids came! We drove down on Thursday Feb. 28th and went to a game on Friday against the Cubs and the Giants. We had great seats that shielded us from the sun and it put us just to the left of Home plate. The highlight of the day was when our neighbor at the game caught a foul ball and wrestled for it only to turn and give it to Brinly. Brinly wasn't quite sure what to do with a used, dirty ball but was smiling from ear to ear when he gave it to her.




On Saturday, Brad and Aaron went to another baseball game and Lisa and I took the kids to the Zoo. The girls loved all the animals but Brinly wasn't a huge fan of walking.




Towards the end of our adventure was a petting zoo where you got to pet goats. The girls were diggin' the goats since all they did was sit there and let you pet and groom them. What a life!
