Road trip to Maw maw and Paw Paw's house

-
Bob and Donnie jumped in the car for the weekend and headed to Pennsylvania to the Penn State/Michigan football game.  That meant to us…ROAD TRIP!!  Saturday morning we jumped into the car and headed down to Bucyrus.  The boys and I stopped through to visit Grandma and Grandpa Grocho.  At this time, Grandpa looked good.  He was a little pale and thinner but his personality still shines through.  Grandma couldn't keep her arms away from hugging the boys at any chance she gets…she loves those boys so much.  We didn't stay too long so Paw Paw suggested a quick trip to Mohican.  I was a little worried since we had just been in the car for over an hour and we were going to go some more.

As we started to get into the "hills" the boys were having a blast.  Nolan would yell from the backseat…"hands up" as we would drive down the hills.  Paw Paw would give it some extra gas as we sped down the hills.
Once we arrived at the covered bridge, the boys were more than ready to get out and explore the outdoors.  It was pretty chilly so we bundled up.  In the river there was a man who was fly fishing.  He brought over a small fish that the boys and I touched and released back into the water.

Smile for the camera!

The boys are in their true element as they climb, race, hide, and investigate nature! Maw Maw has the death grip on Nolan's hood because she was worried that he would fall down the sides of the hill.



King of the Mountain!

After all that hiking we headed back to Bucyrus.  The boys were happy to soak their feet in Maw Maw's special foot massager.

We are weekend warriors!!

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
