Happy Birthday Emma Cate!!

I just can't believe our baby girl turned one! This year has flown by, and we had to plan a party before we knew it. We had a great time celebrating, and Miss Priss got tons of great gifts. She didn't eat much of her cake, but she did manage to gets lots of frosting in her hair!

Luke's First Sleepover

It's hard to believe, but Luke actually slept at someone house. We were at a friend's house playing one day, and Luke decided he wanted to stay. His friend, Isabelle, has been asking him to spend the night, but I just never thought he would agree to it. Isabelle's mom (and my friend), Alyssa, is an awesome mommy who made me feel very comfortable letting him spend the night. When bedtime came around, I sat by the phone waiting for a phone call to come get him. To my surprise, it never happened. Alyssa said he only asked for me once, and she told him I would be there to get him after breakfast the next day. He said, "Well, scratch my back." :) She rubbed his back for a few minutes, and he was fast asleep. We were so proud of him! I can't believe how fast he's growing up.


The Potty and the Necklace

Luke is finally potty trained! After he finally decided to poop on the potty, he was totally independent. By the next day, he wanted to do it by himself. After a couple of weeks, he even stays dry all night. So, finally, no more diapers for him!! Oh yeah, one more thing, he wears his underwear backwards so that he can see the picture on them. :)





Emma Cate has become obsessed with necklaces. I really never wear a necklace, because the kids pull at it when I do. Somehow she has just learned to put them on by herself. She is really fond of a big (ugly) strand of beads that Luke has had for a long time. She finds them and puts them on almost everyday. Sometimes she even finds random things to put around her neck, like a pirate eyepatch!
