Catch up!

Man, It's been another week since I've posted. What's up with that? Well, I've been busy being a full time mommy, part time employee, full time wife, and I feel like a full time chef as well, ha! We've had a good week! I've decided that the days, weeks, months, years fly by when we are super busy...so we've slowed down alot and are having alot of hanging out play time together! Speaking of chef, I think I have a little one on my hands-he loves to cook whether it be pretend in the playroom or helping me in the kitchen! I love this little boy!

 Cade cannot get enough reading time in, he loves his "Step into Reading" books-he can pretty much memorize all the words or as he says "read" it, level 1's that is!

 Looking handsome for school!

 We are a fan of the new grilled chicken nuggets at Chickfila! I no longer feel guilty for going ah-hem like once a week! The kids LOVE the new nuggets and fruit!

 Jon and I enjoyed a lovely date night out last Friday! Thanks to Mimi and Pops for playing with the kids! We ate Hibachi at one of our favorite places and then dessert at Bj's! SO FUN!

 Cade will NOT let his sister go to bed or nap without giving her at least one hug and a kiss and telling her "sweet dreams tay tay" I love that! This particular day he wanted to cuddle up next to her so close, i love them!

 not sure if he was giving her a kiss or telling her a secret, ha

 Last Saturday Lance and Andrea came over for dinner and to hangout-we are SO excited they are moving closer, we just love them! Here are both of our daughters getting ready for bed together, so sweet!

 Sunday we celebrated Pops' birthday at Chucke Cheese, and yes this was HIS choice! ha! He wanted to celebrate his birthday by letting the kids have fun, and they SURE had fun!

 all the boys blowing out candles!
 Happy Birthday Pops!

 Oh are you ready for this?

It's been a REALLY BIG DEAL AT OUR HOUSE ALL WEEK!

Cade went Tee Tee in the Potty for the first time on Sunday morning at about 7:15am! This is huge people! For the LONGEST time I feel like we have been trying to bribe, beg and convince the boy the boy to tt and poo in the potty, and he wanted nothing and I mean nothing to do with it. BUT,  Sunday morning Jon got him to go and then go again and then go again, WAHOO! We've been celebrating and praising Cade to say the least! How is he doing potty training now? Well, he is in pull ups full time and we are asking him about 505 times a day if he needs to go potty and sometimes we get a "yes" or sometimes we get a "lets set the time and then when it goes off I'll go" hey,I'll take what I can get! I had a HUGE fear that he was going to be the kid in kinder with a diaper on, for real! Here he is dressed and ready for Gigi to pick him up for a  prize for going potty on the potty! Whoop Whoop! I'm a proud mommy even if I changed his poo twice today-there is a part of him that "gets it!"

 We played at Gigi's house on Monday, Kenzie is trying so hard to get Tatum to sit still so she can put a dress up outfit on her, love these girls and can't wait for Karlee Abigayle to arrive very soon!

 Did she grow up over night or what? Tatum is changing so much these days and looking like such a little girl now! Ahhh, my baby! Alot of people say Tatum looks like my dad, you think so?!

 This is her new thing,

Me-"Tay say cheese"

Tatum- tilts her head sideways

 or to pose with her hand like this....she is a priss!

 We've been playing at home today, picking up the house, getting caught up on work, etc-oh and obviously washing sheets, ha. I was in the kitchen making dinner and the kids were giggling so loud in my bedroom. I went in there with my camera of course and caught them doing this....

They were jumping on the bed and having the best time!

 Wonder how Tay got all the way up there?....I put them both on the floor so Cade could show me...he picked her up and literally shoved her up on the bed, she gave Cade her hand and that's how he made it up there, they crack me up! Teamwork at the ages of 3 and 18 months!

 Life is pretty busy and they are my exercise most days, but I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Happy Wednesday!
