MY BIG BIG BOY



Okay, so Steele is pretty much potty trained YEAH! And, he has started to only want to pee standing up and he asks me quite often if he can poop standing up to but of course I tell him "no we only poop sitting down". Well he also LOVES to pee outside (thanks to Jed!) preferably right in the middle of the grass out in the open. But hey, how can I say no? He is not peeing in a diaper or in his pants so I am happy for now ( it's kinda cute too!) It must be an Elton thing or something cause his 6 year old cousin still pees outside right in the open too, even off of the front pourch :-)

So today, Steele wanted to go outside and play. I let him out back with the door cracked so I could hear him. Next thing I hear is "MOOOOMMMMM" "MOOOMMMMMMM" so I step onto the deck to find my little man with his jeans and undies down to his ankles and his little shirt pulled up (I wish I would have thought to grab the camera then!) He says "Mom I pooped on the lawn". Oh boy it was so funny, I had such a hard time bringing him in to wipe his bum telling him we don't poop on the lawn we only poop on the potty. When we were done wipping we I had to go clean it up and yes I did think of the camera then
;-) How could I not take pictures to document this?

Kylie's Birthday

Kylie is turning 11! We had her family dinner/party for her.
We told her she had to modle everything she got cause we got her a bunch of riding gear for her motorcycle. She was a good sport and did it!
Jed even helped.

Jed made her this box and also a wooden ring. It is really neat!
And gift cards for iTunes... She loved these! She unloaded them as fast as she could open them :-)
This is her Pellet gun she got. She enjoys going out shooting and we are hoping to get her Hunter Stafety done soon just in case she decides she might want to join in on the hunting.
Kylie is seriously one of the coolest nicest girls I know! She is a great person!
We Love You Girl! Happy Birthday!

Christmas 2009

Jed opening what Santa left him.
Steele & Ky opening what Santa left them...







Jed made me this amazing bed, I absolutley love it!

It was such a huge surprise, I knew he was making me something but I had no idea what it was.

Seriously, it is the neatest bed I have ever seen! Thanks again babe! I LOVE IT!

Steele got this little shiner at Granny & Grandpa's on Christmas day, it is his first ever and Jed was SO proud!

Christmas was SO much fun this year, We had Kylie for Christmas Eve and morning and Steele was finnally old enough to really enjoy it.
For Christmas Eve we had our families over for dinner. Jed smoked a Ham, Turkey, & Potatoes... Yum Yum! Huge fan of the potatoes! We had a great time and enjoyed all of the company. We are SO blessed to have such great family!!!

I HAVE A PANTRY!!!




My super cool husband made me a pantry today! We have lived in our house for four years now and I have unhappily delt with not having a pantry (and hardly any cupboard space for food) in my kitchen. Well last week I got the brilliant idea to turn our coat closet into a pantry :-) We never really used the coat closet anyway there was just junk in it. So today Jed built me my SWEET pantry so I had to blog about it! I sure wish we would have done this four years ago! THANKS BABE!!!

Jed's Handy Work

Jed (and I) made this table this weekend it turned out pretty awesome so I thought I would show it off. He was making it for our upstairs living room to replace the ugly banged up one we have been using. But we both decided we would try to sell it instead. Although I absolutely LOVE it!


If anyone is interested in it let me know!
