Summer fun

-
Our favorite time of the year is...SUMMER! We have time to do all the things with all the people we love!

Spending sunny days with Vroomans and Parsons in their backyard pool!
Grandma has a new fire pit and we love to roast marshmallows for smores!


Season passes to Cedar Point and Cedar Shores were maximum fun this summer...any chance that we had free time we jumped in the car and headed over with friends



Dinner date with Malears, Truax's and the newly weds...Mr. and Mrs. Place (they left before this photo)


We also lucked out and had our family friend Kasey Studer design and build shelving and a new mantle for our fireplace.  We absolutely love it!

Mothers Day 5k with Maw Maw!

Nolan loves to learn how to cook...his favorite thing to make is pancakes

Golfing with Dad is something the boys are always asking to do with Bob


Big boys got lucky to fall into a "job for a day" at the local blueberry farm.  They picked for two hours and made $7 an hour! 

Carter attended a paintball birthday party with a professional photographer and this is one of the photos...so cool!


One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to create a flower garden in the backyard and then cut the flowers and deliver them to others.  

Cale Miller asked the boys to go to a concert of 21 pilots.  They loved it!




Our summer was jam packed full of so much fun!  We can't wait for next summer!

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
