One Hot Wedding

-
On Saturday my volleyball teammate from college was getting married in Hillsdale, MI.  Bob and I made the short drive out to the wedding while my sister-in-law and the nieces kept a close eye on the boys.  I was so excited to go and celebrate and see college friends.  The only downside to this was that it was an outdoor wedding.  Yep, the temperature as we were pulling into the ceremony was 102.  There wasn't any shade so I knew that Bob and I were going to be a sweaty mess very quickly.  It was a beautiful ceremony at her mom's house.  She walked out of the back door and down the aisle.  The ceremony was short and sweet which was great because the beads of sweat were glistening on everyone's brow.  On to the reception...there was a candy table, chocolate fountain, hot munchies and cold veggies just to get you started.  Then the meal was insane with the amount of main dishes you could choose.  Bob's plate was overflowing.  Now you know when the music starts on the dance floor you can be sure to find me there.  However this crowd was into country music...what?  The bride in college would have never been caught dead listening to this music.  She practically was a groupie of Blink 182 so I was floored to see her out there swingin her lasso.

My DC Vball Girls!

The next morning we met up with another friend from college, Kasey Studer, who has a boat on Round Lake here in Michigan.  The nieces were still with us so we all went out to go tubing on the boat.  Carter and Landon wanted to go out on the boat too so we strapped on their life jackets and took off.  Carter loved sitting at the back of the boat and watching the girls tube.  Landon enjoyed sitting on the boat, but wanted nothing to do with watching anyone.  He was so relaxed that he fell asleep in my lap.  Carter wanted to go tubing so Bob took him out with him.  He told Studer that he wanted to go really slow.  He lasted a good minute and then was over it.  It was so great to see how comfortable they were with being on the boat and it really made me want to start eating pb and j sandwiches to save all our money for a boat!

Look at how excited these girls are!


Just look at Carter...I think he is already regretting his decision to get on the tube

No more diapers

It is official…the Boone family is diaper free!  After six long years of buying, changing, and disposing of dirty diapers we are finally done with those!  It is kinda crazy to think we don't have to carry a huge diaper bag full of diapers, wipes, rash cream, and extra clothes in case of a blow out. Around December Nolan began to be interested in the idea of going potty on the potty.  He would come into the bathroom to watch everyone and when the boys were going he would press his diaper against the toilet to pretend.  The whole potty training process can be quite exhausting so for him and my best interest we decided to wait until summertime.  He was very quick start going on the potty.  I have to say, ugh how I hate the potty seat.  It is just the most disgusting thing ever!  I tried to get him to use the big potty with a seat insert but he was scared since it was so tall.   He looks like such a big boy on the potty seat! There is just something so cute about seein

Nolan's First Bath and a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Boone

On day 10 the best thing happened...Nolan's umbilical cord fell off.  I tell you what when that happens I get so excited because it is stinkin gross and I am always worried I am going to hurt him.  We found it in his diaper during a diaper change and Carter shouted, "Mommy Nolan's vilical cord came off!" I cracked up!  He knew that when that happened he now gets to take a bath in his big boy bath tub.  We quickly got out the tub and filled it with water.  The boys each grabbed a washcloth and helped to clean Nolan.  Nolan cried at first but as soon as Carter and Landon started to help he was calm as a cucumber.  They loved to squeeze the water on his body and wash his tummy. I gave Nolan a bath a few days later by myself and he screamed the whole time at the top of his lungs.  From that day forward I am sure the boys have to help me give him bath to keep him calm. Last week Bob's dad Arlin and Barb stopped through on their way home for Florida to se

Potty Master and No Nap Magee

Changes are coming our way fast!  Having two in diapers is costly...believe me we have done it before and my wallet is still crying.  As we approach the birth of baby #3 getting Landon out of diapers became a top priority.  He was not really interested and almost kinda scared at first.  He could and would tell me as soon as he finished going potty in his diaper that he needed to be changed.  He was also waking up in the morning with a dry night time diaper.  This was a sign for me to start pushing him into big boy underpants.  I don't mess around with pull ups we just switch to underpants cold turkey and just carry quite a few change of clothes with us.  When he realized that he was wearing underpants just like Carter he was hooked.  It took about two weeks of hard core potty training but he is going on the potty like a champ.  Every time he goes on the potty we all celebrate and everyone gets a treat.  Carter is extremely excited about this and often begs Landon to go potty so he
