Girls Trip 2019

-
I hate to rush the summer along but I love my first weekend in August with my girls!  This year the house that we have stayed in was no longer available so we lucked out and rented a house just down the street.  The perks to this new place was it is lakefront property.  It has a wraparound porch, a hot tub, and also a fire pit.  We spent so much time on the porch at all hours of the day and night we were happy for the switch.

Our first sunset from the porch


With everyone coming from all different locations, we all trickle in at different times and days.  Friday morning was a beach day!  The weather was sunny and hot but the water was ice cold this year.

We stopped for dinner at one of our favorite places: Taste in Saugatuck, MI.  This restaurant has great martinis and small plates.



Cheers!


After dinner we tried to walk down to the lighthouse but our poor bellies were so full of food and drink we didn't make it down the whole way.


New shades for Mariah and I!


Saturday morning began with a little yoga on the porch


White Claws and candy was all we needed for the beach





Kelly and Mariah brought their inflatable paddle boards.  We all took turns paddling around the lake.  The water was crystal clear.  You could see so far down!

Music, conversations, and laughter!




No plans except relaxing and enjoying each others company












Katie is on her girls weekend just a few houses down...I know right, what are the odds?  I paddled down to visit!






I am going to start counting down the days until 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...
