Milestones

The life of a mom is filled with milestones and we have hit a few around here worth celebrating. The first one was a couple of weeks ago - Sarah finally decided to take off the training wheels. Abbie took hers off last summer and we thought that it would shame Sarah into it - but no. She said she wasn't ready. Earlier this spring she still wasn't ready. But two weeks ago she decided she was finally ready.

Well, not so much ready as coerced by Drew.

Who refused to take her riding unless she lost the training wheels.

But it worked!

The Everyday Magic challenge at ScrapMatters a couple of weeks ago was to scrap your most recent photos - so these are already done! You can still do the challenge too so check it out.

And check out Sarah with no training wheels:




And then last week we hit another major milestone - Beka is finally potty training!!! She is doing really well too. We have even run errands with just panties on and no accidents!

And I just lost everyone who hasn't potty trained a child. They don't understand and think that I have lost my mind.

So I might as well go all the way and post a picture! Isn't she cute?


All righty then. Still with me? I promise the last milestone does not involve bowel movements.

The prince and I had our 11th Wedding Anniversary yesterday. Which begs the question:

What is the traditional 11th Wedding Anniversary gift? Steel.

Hmmm, how about the Modern one then? Fashion jewlery.

Ok, so no gifts this year but we had a nice day with the familiy. Cooked out for dinner since the weather is nice (or at least not rainy) and then played some games after the kids went to bed. It has been a wonderful 11 years - he truly is a prince!

That's it for milestones for now and frankly I am exhausted!
