Summer Vacation Part Three: The Final Days

-
It is so unfortunate just like every thing in life, it must end especially when it is vacation!  On one of the last days we visited a dairy farm called Country Dairy.  They have tours and we were excited to experience what this farm had to offer.  It was very chilly that day and it was raining all throughout the day.  It was pretty cool being able to see the whole process up close.  When we entered the bottling facility we had to wear bright red hair nets.  This was quite a hoot.  Baby Adelynn even had to wear one!   The boys loved seeing the cows up close and being able to feed them.  Carter and Landon have not been interested in milk for at least a year.  I have tried everything (white, chocolate, strawberry, organic, almond milk) and they won't drink it.  After this tour Carter was pounding the glasses of chocolate milk like it was going out of style.  He had the best chocolate milk mustache.

Later we went back to the vacation house and Danielle wanted baby Adelynn to finger paint with the boys.  I brought paint to use and we got it all out.  She loved it and ended up with paint all over her face.  Landon followed her lead and covered himself in paint.

Check this out! Thank goodness for washable paint!

Another activity that we did while we were there was pick blueberries.  We had recently picked blueberries locally so the boys were experts.  In fact Carter was sure to remind every one which ones to pick and which ones should "ripen". Me on the other hand, I ate more than I picked.  They were great!



Adelynn was the best thing I could have put in my bucket.

Vacation was a blast for everyone all around.  We shared so many moments and created lots of unforgettable memories.

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!

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 ...

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 a...
