Out of the Mouth of Babes

Just a short funny story to hopefully brighten your day: This morning I took the boys to Wal-Mart with me to get some groceries and as the check out lady was ringing us up Brandon proceeded to tell her, "My daddy beats me." The lady starred at me horrified and I dumbfoundedly tried to muster up a reason why my almost 3 yr old son would say such a thing! When we arrived to the van i tried explaining to Brandon why you cannot say things like that (hopefully it sunk in). I was humiliated to say the least and anyone who knows Allen would know that is in no way true. I'm sure there will be more embarrassing times ahead, just hopefully they can learn what they can and cannot say to people...

The Day Has FINALLY came....(I hope)...

Brandon is on his second day with NO ACCIDENTS!! WHOOOO!!! Even yesterday during his two hour nap he woke up dry and asked to go to the bathroom as soon as he woke up! We are SO SO proud of our big boy!! :) He still will not wear his cool big boy underwear though. I don't know what to do? Any suggestions?? He will only wear his pull up but at least he keeps it dry :)

On another note Jacob started saying "Mine" today..OH BOY!! Let the fights begin! Brandon, as many of you know, likes to claim things as his..everything as a matter of fact! Brandon looked at Jake in shock this morning when Jake shouted "mine" back at him (then proceeded to say "no Jakers, it's Brandon's" and shove him).

Hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful warm weather we have been having!

Jake's Big Boy Cut..Brandon's Potty and a Graduation Party

Jacob got his first big boy haircut...and he HATES it!! He likes to twirl his hair around his fingers when he is tired and he can't do that anymore. He looks so grownup with it though! (My baby boy is disappearing WAY to fast!) He is saying more words now..such as.."Da you"(Love you), "Tanks" (Thanks), "No, Jaker" (He learned that from Brandon telling him that so much).

Brandon is really starting to get the hang of going potty. THANK GOODNESS!! He still has some accidents and has to wear a pull-up at night but he is doing really well! Mom and Dad are SO proud! :-)

We had my little brother, Jared's high school graduation party on Saturday in Oelwein. Congrats Jared!!I loved seeing everyone and catching up! The boys loved playing with all the little kids. Brandon still asks me, "When is Baby (Brandon's Aunt Abby) and Ava (my cousin's daugther) come to see Brandon?" Hopefully soon!! Well, that's all for now. Hope all is well with everyone!
