Thanks Spears, Flacks, Smiths, and Gibsons for coming over and celebrating with us!

 Fun times!

Big News!

NO, I'm NOT pregnant!

(thank God)

Avery went poopoo on the potty!

Avery has been telling us when she is going and I have been taking her to the little potty, but she had never actually gone IN the potty.

  This weekend at Nana and Papas house she went for the first time!  

Teaching her all he knows!!

And then she went again today in the potty!  

I hope she is as easy to potty train as Sage was. 

So far she is even easier, I mean she is only 18 months (on Thursday) 

We have a long way to go but I'm optimistic.  I mean Sage never told us when he was going. and we didn't potty train him until he was almost 2 and a half.

I know some of you reading this are rolling your eyes and cursing the computer (or me) because you are in the process of potty training or had a horrible experience.  I am just super lucky I got two easy kids.  Does this mean when they are teenagers they are going to give me a run for my money?!? 

Conroe for the day

Saturday we went to Ryan's parents house to celebrate Laurie's birthday. Which I have no pictures of :( We had such a great time, like we always do at Nana and Grandpas.  Whether its just family or a house full of our friends, Jean and Dave always make our time at their house memorable.  Thank you for everything you do! It was great to spend some time with Ryans brother and wife, Laurie! And they even offered to babysit!!
Caution: LOTS of pictures!

Getting a work out in!

He is in to taking pictures now and even poses. LOVE this one!

Hey she worked out, she can have candy!

POSING for some pictures!  Cheese!

Love our time at Nana and Grandpas!

Some exciting news to post about tomorrow!!!

Just the TWO of us!

Sage goes to school on Friday and Avery doesn't so I get to spend some one on one time with my little princess!!  Yes, I had only her last year whil Sage was at school but this year is different.  I'm not running around all day trying to get things done or having a sitter come watch her while I work out.  I get to really focus on Avery all day!  So I signed her up for a Little Gym Mommy and Me class and she LOVED it.  Didn't want to leave!

NOT patiently waiting for class to start

First one out to the shakers!

Balance beam and bars were two of her favorite things to do!

Learning to jump and land with two feet.... not there yet.  But she practiced with Ms Jennifer

RUNNING!
where did my baby go?!?!

playing peek a boo!

Another FAVORITE, bubbles!

playing the drums at the end of class!

Trying to look at her stamps on her feet.

What a great day!  I will cherish these days with my little girl,  Growing up so fast!
