We WON the SNOWMOBILE


We won the snowmobile at the fundraiser on Saturday night. I could not belive it, we NEVER win anything. Our luck was on the rise because we won both the blanket and the snowmobile.
I would have thought it was rigged but, little Easten was the one who pulled the winning raffle tickets. He must be our little lucky charm.
This is so great because now Ben has someone to go snowmobiling with. I can't wait until Kason can try it out on the snow.
Thanks again for everyone who made the fundraiser a sucess!!!!

We have conquered the Impossible


OH YES!! This is a picture of my daughter using the big girl potty!! YEAH!
Okay the story is... One day last week I got Kenzie out of the bathtub and put a diaper on her. I asked her to go get her pajamas on. I watched her walk into her room and to her dresser, suddenly she made an unusual face and I watched as she quickly removed her diaper and pee on my carpet. It was then at that moment I realized she knew that she needed to pee and did not want to do it in her diaper.
I was determined to get this girl potty trained. Thursay I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a potty and some new panties for her. I called her on the phone to tell her of my new purchase and I was hung up on. This was going to be harder than I thought.
Still determined When I got home Thursday night I put my plan into works. I put the panties on her and had her watch as I threw away all her diapers. Thursday was hard but, we got through it.
Friday came and there were several accidents. I was ready to buy another bag of diapers after I cleaned her car seat out... for the second time.
I travel with the potty in the back of my car so if we are somewhere and she needs to pee or do the other I don't have to have her use the public potties. (I have huge phobies of public bathrooms.)
Then on Saturday it happened it clicked she realized she can hold her pee to make it to the bathroom and she realized she does not want to walk around in wet panties and pants. Saturday was a huge sucess and there were no accidents.
Today was even better. She lets me know when its time to pee and she even poops in the potty. I am so glad I didn't give up! I think she was really ready this time.
Yeah for me. No more kids in diapers.
