Duke too!!

My Little "Mommy!"

This morning Sadie came running to me and yelling, "Duke took his diaper off and he's on the potty!"  I went to the bathroom and sure enough there he was sitting saying "potty potty."  Such a big boy!!  His nose was running (as it has been for days!).  Sadie took some tissue and attempted to wipe it.  She said, "Mommy, watch him blow."  It was so stinkin' cute!  

You probably won't notice that the little seat is on backwards...and that he is trying to hold his "pee-pee" down to aim into the potty.  (sorry to expose you to the little naked guy, but it couldn't be helped!)

Fun Wedding Weekend!!

This past weekend I flew to OH for my cousin's wedding.  It was a blast!!  It was terribly hard leaving the kids, but also much needed.  This was the first time in almost 3 years that all us siblings were together.  We have got to be one of the most fun families ever!!  My oldest sister, Stacy, didn't make it for the wedding, but she did come up for the cookout and cornhole on Saturday.  It was great seeing her and little Dasia.  Here are some pics of our super fun times at the reception.

LABOR DAY FUN!!

The family headed to Tampa on Sunday afternoon to spend the night with Uncle Tim & Aunt Jess.  The kids were pumped!  Here's some pics of our fun time at the zoo, despite the 90-some degree weather.  

A group pic.

Daddy & Sadie

I told Landon the elephants were waving at us with their ears...so that's what he was trying to do with his hands.

They were "oinking" like the crazy red hairy pigs.

Excited for the merry-go-round.

Feeding the Giraffes & Merry-Go-Round

Sadie wasn't "too" scared.

Landon wasn't so sure.

And Duke stuck his whole hand in its mouth!

Their first merry-go-round ride with Daddy & Uncle Tim.

Mommy & Duke...he loved it!

COSTUMES!!

              We went to Cheyenne & Nikki Jenkin's for dinner that evening.  Nikki had the idea to play dress-up.  The kids loved it!!  Landon & Josiah are showing their muscles.  Duke is getting dressed up like a ninja.  Sadie is a police officer.  Finally the ninja outfit is complete, and we were cracking up!!
