Summer lovin...

We have really enjoyed our summer so far.  I have loved having friends and family over to play.  Laura and Tabitha visit on Wednesdays and we try to have a project in mind.  We still want to go the the zoo, make homemade rolls and create a birthday board.  Kaylene has also come to visit a few times and it has been fun letting the kids play in the water while we sit outside and visit.

We have been working on potty training Sophie.  She has been doing pretty well and we can now leave the house for extended periods and just have to stop at the occational gas station or store to go potty.  She is also loving the juice otter pops whenever she goes. It is cuteto hear her talking a ton more.  When I say, "Sophie what do you say when you need to go potty".  She responds, "potty mommy, potty".  She has pretty princess panties and loves them.  She even went to church without a diaper this week.  I am so proud of her.

This week Molly responded, "love you" when I put her to bed.  It melted my heart.  She has been walking for six weeks now and just turned 15 months June 22nd.  She spends her dayswalking around the house exploring.  A couple of weeks ago, I started toy time.  It is a simple concept really, I call toy time and the girls runs to the playroom with great excitement and shut the door.  Usually it occupying them for a good 30 minutes.  I am loving that they play together now.

Last week the sibling of the week award goes to Rick and Kaylene.  They sacrificed two nights in 100+ weather to help us move and install shelving in the garage.  It is looking great and we can't wait to have the garage organized again.
