"Yay...Kaykay went peepee in the potty...kaykay went peepee in the potty...hooray!!!"

We had a successful day at potty training yesterday. No accidents...and she told me every time she had to go.

Of course I DID keep her naked as the day she was born most of the day.....actually cross that...SHE kept herself naked, as she is in this new phase where she won't keep a stitch on to save her life....to include her diaper.

SO why not? It was the perfect time to really make a go at it.

We had done it off and on, but nothing really consistent (which is the key)....so here we go...off on a new adventure....

her reward she wants for going?

marshmallows (the mini colored ones...she gets 4)

IS this MY child or what?

side note: with Bug...he wanted/got mini m&m's....and took right to potty training. Cross your finges with my stubborn Drama Mama.

Weekend Video's and such...

For the family!~

Thought you may enjoy these...

This one cracks me up, as Kayla starts singing around the end...

The Drama Mama right before church today....

I know I have one more to add, but blogger isn't cooperating with me....so enjoy these for the time being!

We miss you guys! (HUGE HUGS to Popo and Papa!!!)

Friday Funny (or not)

I got this in an email, and sadly enough I was familiar with every SINGLE one of them.....

familiar enough, people,....

that I'm sure if I dug hard enough I could find you a picture of me "back in the day" with most....if not..ALL...of these fashions, and/or tapes of these songs or shows...

on my beta or VHS of course..(huh? what's that a beta? NO...not a fish..a beta machine.

A quick update on the fun we have been having in the yard...plus a few garden shots...

Bug and Drama Mama refilling our "Hannah" pond....

My hand hurts from squeezing the trigger mom.....

Yummmmmmmmy!

The pond almost full.....

Full...with a few plants added for our little rascal friend....(we'll add more later)

A few befores (in case you didn't know we are removing all the plants INSIDE the fence and replanting all new grass, so the kids have a YARD to play in!)

and where they went...(all in a pile)..

to here....(upper side)

and here...(Brad built me this...we had SO many to transplant!!)

My garden....growing slowly, but surely....

FOR MY MOTHER:

i wish you could truly SEE the purple in this flower...i wish i knew what it was...

the roses are coming in..there are SOOO many buds on this one...

Does Bug have the life or what? He said he was "on break"...

HUGE thanks to my dear sweet husband who SHOCKED me with flowers, a card, and a romantic candlelit dinner (he prepared!!!) after the kids were tucked into bed...I had NO idea he was doing this...I was so busy with homework and the kids....

I leave you with this rag-a-muffin....
