Girls weekend 2018

-
It's that time again...Girls Weekend!  This is the weekend that we all look forward to the whole year long.  It's a long 4 hour and 28 minutes drive but its so worth it!  This is our majestic home away from home for the weekend.



All the Defiance College Volleyball Gals gather together from all over the map.  Our first evening we tried a new restaurant called Three Blondes Brewery.  Delicious food and lots of laughs!



Our house is just a little ways down from the beach.  We have to walk down 83 steps to get to the beach.  Last year the beach was washed away and we had to drive into Saugatuck to get to the beach. This year the beach was back and we were so happy to be able to enjoy it.



Taking a load down to the beach in Kelly's Jeep.

We all got set up on the beach and everyone was talking about their "after baby" bodies they were worried about.  My friend Mariah, said "Guys, no worries this is a No Judgement Zone!" and with that I ripped off my cover up to reveal my "Man Body" swim suit.  This suit displays a hairy chest, nipples and a hairy butt crack on the back side.  Their minds were blown!  It was a great way to start the weekend together!


Beach time with long time friends!





The water was like glass, warm, and crystal clear.




That evening we all got dolled up and headed out for drinks and dinner.







Drinks at Red Dock


Melissa and Mariah made a fancy breakfast for us!


It wouldn't be girls weekend without at stop at the creepy antique shop.  Always an adventure there.


We spent so much of our time at the beach.  It was just what the doctor ordered.



Kelly brought her paddle board again.  Each year we all get better at balancing on it!






The maiden voyage with four of us on the paddle board...we didn't make it very far.









These girls mean the world to me.  I am so lucky to have them in my life and I can't wait to see them again next year.

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!

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 ...

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 a...
