Beulah Beach Summer Camp

-
Here in the area there is a Summer Day Camp called Beulah Beach.  It is a church based camp right on the water.  Crazy thing: I went to this camp when I was in middle school because it is affiliate with my hometown church in Bucyrus.  I have been looking forward to sending the boys to this camp since we moved here because I had such great memories.  
This was the year for them to both be able to go.  I was a little nervous about leaving my boys with people I didn't know and have them do dangerous/adventurous things without me but I said many prayers and trusted they were in God's hands.  The first morning I dropped them off, I got emotional as I watched them timidly walk up to their counselor.  
Every day that I picked them up during the week they were so pumped to tell me everything they did!  Ziplines, giant swings, a huge slip and slide down a hill, swimming in the lake and pool, Skittle War, water balloon fights, soccer, riding on a speed boat, and so much more!!!




Crusin' down the slip and slide!


This was the boy's group for the week!  Kaytlyn was their counselor and she was fantastic!

Brave Landon getting harnessed in to swing on the Giant Swing! Landon was the youngest one at camp to do this!  


His smile is just contagious!

She loved the boys and they couldn't get enough of her either!  Lots of hugs at the end of the week!

Carter on the swing!

What a great experience for them!




I can't believe how great the boys did this week!  It will be hard for them to wait a whole year to go again!

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
