Put in Bay

-
Last weekend while visiting in Bucyrus, my dad suggested a quick day trip to Put in Bay.  You know this gang is up for any impromptu excursion.  It was a perfect day for an island trip. We jumped aboard the ferry and headed over.  The boys love to watch the waves and sea gulls across the water.
Land Ho!

Such a twinkle in his eye

Nolan's first trip to Put in Bay

When we arrived we rented a golf cart.  We had to use two carseats so we drove around in an 8 person golf cart...the island limo for parents.

Since Carter is 4 years old he didn't have to ride in a car seat and he thought he was "hot snot". He rode up front with Paw Paw and he loved every second of that.

When I was in third grade, we went to Put in Bay for our class field trip and I remember while we were there we visited Perry's Cave.  It was so stinkin cool back then I wanted to show the boys.  You go underground and you can see stalactites and stalagmites on the cave walls. There is even an underground lake.  Carter loved it and was very eager to ask the tour guide lots of questions.

If only every day could end with throwing rocks into water the boys would be in heaven.

Renting a golf cart is one of the best ways to enjoy your trip at a gorgeous attraction like this. You can roam around the place without getting tired. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the view! :)

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
