Addie Lou Turns One!

-
It's official...Adelynn turns one!  The boys had been looking forward to celebrating with Adelynn for her first birthday since the day the invite arrived in the mail.  Danielle was having the party at the Westerville Recreation Center which has an amazing pool and water play area.  Once we arrived at the place the boys ran to see where they would be splashing around after the party.
Carter kept asking me questions about what Adelynn could do now that she was one year old.  "Could she eat candy? Could she race trucks with him and Landon? Would she get more teeth since she was one?"  It was so cute listening to him wonder about when she could do the things he enjoyed and what he knew she would enjoy too.
The whole party was a hit...decorations, food, etc!  Adelynn was so cute as she dug into her cake.  She spent most of the time playing in the frosting and not really eating it.
This was moments before Danielle uses her cat like quickness to snatch the cake up as Adelynn reaches for the burning birthday candle.


Ooey Gooey Fun!

Check out this cool pinata.  Instead of hitting it with a stick you pull the ribbons and when all the ribbons have been pulled the candy falls out.  Brilliant idea for a birthday party with young kids! (check out Danielle's belly bump in the background)

Sugar Rush!

What a great time we had celebrating with Adelynn!  Wished we all lived closer because I love getting the kids together...nothing like love between cousins!

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

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
