Summer week four: Memphis Kiddie Park and Beulah Beach Camp

-
This week Carter and Landon went to Beulah Beach Camp.  This gave me another opportunity to spend a lot of time with only Nolan. We ventured out to Memphis Kiddie Park to enjoy the rides with friends. Charlie, Nikki, Matt, Lilly, and Ben met us there to have some fun.  It was Charlie's first time ever going and boy did she surprise us all!  She was full of smiles and giggles as she rode all the rides!

Here are all the kids on the boat ride.  Lillian and Nolan were busy fighting over who was going to honk the horn while Ben and Charlie dipped their hands in the water.

Love this picture...

Nolan loved riding this horse because it's name was "Nolan"

Here is our attempt at getting a picture of all the kids looking at the camera…worth a try, right?

Carter and Landon had such a great time each day at camp.  This sappy mom always cries the first day when I drop them off because the counselors run up to the boys to welcome them there.  Each day they both were so chatty about all they did.

Check out this cannonball!

Here is Carter climbing the rock wall.  He was so bummed that he was too scared to climb to the top.

They had a color run/tie dye shirt race where they ran from trash can to trash can full of dye to dip their shirt into.  They turned out really cool!

Here is Landon jousting against another camper

Landon is ready to zip line. 

What a fun week!

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
