Silly boys

 He couldn't decide which one he liked best so he went with both!

So I left Garrett to play on the computer and when I came back in to check on him I found him like this.  I swear this boy can sleep ANYWHERE!

Fun pics

 Last night for FHE Nikki was in charge and she made a picture of the Tree of Life and then pictures of each family member to put under the tree.  These are her pictures of Curtis and me.  Is it a true likeness?  ha ha

 Jack was not feeling well Sunday evening and so he had some cuddle time with Daddy.

 After I took a picture of Jack and Daddy, Nikki wanted a turn taking a picture.  Didn't realize she took a picture of herself until I looked at the pics on the camera.  LOL

 Me and my girl.

 Everybody's Kung Fu fighting!  yah!

 They're ready for action!

 Nikki likes to get pictures of her with her stuffed animals.

 Looks like a big bear doesn't it?

 While Jack was taking a bath yesterday afternoon Garrett went in there and started dipping his head in the water.  Does Garrett remind you of anyone???  He just needs a blue and red suit with a big red S on his chest!

Did Nikki do a good job drawing me? ha ha

Cleo's Ferry Museum and nature trail

On Saturday we went out to Melba to see Cleo's Ferry Museum.  I had no idea where we were going, just that Curtis knew somewhere he wanted to take us.  And I'm so glad he did.  I didn't even get pictures of half the stuff that was there.  We'll definitely have to go again when it's warmer so we don't rush through it.

Look who's using the potty!!.....(a joy only a parent could understand...LOL)

 Bet you weren't expecting to see him were you?!! ha ha  Actually, this transpired because his older brother Garrett has finally started using the potty and wearing big boy underpants (during the day).  Earlier today Jack saw that Garrett had pooped in the toilet so he immediately wanted to sit on the potty too. He didn't get anything out that time but he enjoyed sitting there.  It wasn't until after I arrived home from picking up Nikki from school that Jack just stood there and I looked at him questioningly and he says to me "I'm pooping".  So I ran over to check and see if he'd gone in his diaper yet and he hadn't and asked if he wanted to go on the potty and then rushed him over and sat him down......and he DID IT!!  Even after he was done he just wanted to sit on the potty because he was having such a good time.  He was rewarded with a sucker afterward.  

Then about 3 hours later he had pooped in his diaper and when I went to change him he said he wanted to go on the potty again.  So I cleaned him up and sat him on there and after several minutes I heard a little tinkle.  Of course we were very excited for him and cheered for him each time.  Now when Jack wants to sit on the potty he tells me to "sit down" and points to the side of the tub because that's where I sat the first time he tried out the potty.

We are very excited that Jack is now starting to use the potty but we're not pushing anything on him.  We're just going to let him enjoy it when he wants to do it.  But it is nice to dream about both the boys being potty trained before having any more babies  :)

On a different note, I tried a new braid on Nikki this week.  Well, new to me.  I have seen this "fishbone" braid before but had never tried it until now.  I found a blog that had a video tutorial on how to do it.  It was actually easier than I thought it would be.
