Almost Party Time!

A year! Can you believe it has almost been a year! We are celebrating Korver's birthday next Saturday on the 5th. Can you guess the theme?...

...had to practice my face painting skills on Mike during his nap:)...

... some party favors...

Its going to be Dr. Suess carnival themed:) I can't give away too much of what will be going on but there are a couple pics:) Its going to be so fun!

11 months!

This cutie pie is 11 months! Can you believe it! He is getting so big! He is the cutest little guy ever!

He says mom, momma, dad, dada, up and loves to pull hair! Has begun to walk. Feeds himself. Has a beautiful scream:) And loves to cuddle! His weight right now is around 20 lbs. Ill do a better update on all that from his one year appointment:)

So early last week Korver started to really try walking by himself. He really hasn't cared for us to walk him around, he has just either wanted to crawl or be held:) I think he's getting it down!

Hot! Hot! Hot!

I love this weather lately! ... not the so often changing from cold to hot but I love the hot weather! And yesterday was super hot- my kids got so much sun(it doesnt really show in the pictures but they both have farmers tans. Popsicles were a perfect way to end the day!

Fun Friday!

We went on a fun picnic today with my friend Keri. She has a little girl "Jazzy"- Im sorry if I spelt her name wrong... but she is such a cute little girl! She is about 18 months old, and as tall as Olivia! It was such a beautiful day. So glad we made plans to go on a picnic!

First Week Of Potty Training!

So we started potty training Olivia last Saturday- skipped Sunday cause I didn't want to worry about nursery and then ever since Monday she has been doing awesome! For the last couple months or longer she has gone poop on the toilet a couple times so she has done awesome with going number two on the toilet. She has had a couple little accidents but it was while trying to make it to the bathroom. So atleast she has the feeling down. The last few days though no accidents! I even took her food shopping with me- it took us 2 hours but thats what happens when we have to keep running to their restroom:) At least she will use other restrooms! We strictly started off with just putting her in panties cause she knows a pull-up is a diaper- the very first day we tried to start she did not want to wear underwear cause she was terrified of having an accident!:) we haven't worried about her going at night yet so of course its pull-ups at night:) But now even after her bath when we put pull-ups on her she will still use her toilet! She is so proud of herself and we are so proud of her! I know she is bound to have some more accidents but at least she does try to hold it to go to the bathroom. The first thing she did this morning was go and use her toilet when she woke up!

What A Week/Weekend!

Happy Monday everyone! We had quite a fun week/weekend last week.

1. Started potty training Olivia- we bought her some big girl princess underwear and she pretty much just held it all day on saturday- she did eventually go on her toilet. She is paranoid about not being able to go to the bathroom in her underwear so that is probably a good thing for us:)

2. Watched some new movies. The Warrior- great great movie kind of between Rocky and Cinderella Man. And then Moneyball- I actually liked it. Im never in the mood to watch those type of movies- I like lots of action and suspense movies the most but I really enjoyed those two movies. Then we watched Fairgame- ummm super slow movie for us anyways couldn't really get into it. 

3. Forts Galore! Lately I just keep making Olivia different forts ever since her castle went bu-bye:(

4. Discovery Park. We played at discovery park on Saturday. It has been a long time since we've taken Olivia there, but she loved it.

5. Taught Olivia to ride her bike-trike:) We have been trying to get her to learn how to peddle it inside our house but when we told her to push down with her legs she would push on her knees with her hands. So the first warm day last week I took her outside, she hopped on her bike, and she started peddling right away! I guess she just needed to be outside:)

Picnic Fun

Today wasn't as warm as yesterday but it was still beautiful weather. So we had a little picnic in the backyard. We made peanut butter and honey sandwiches. It wasn't a very long picnic cause the wind did start blowing more but it was nice to get outside and let Olivia run around.
