Dallas 2011

We decided to load up and go to the big D last weekend. We had an incredibly successful trip. Don't get me wrong, we had a few tantrums but overall it was great. The girls loved it and we ALL had a blast. We went to the Dallas Zoo, the Dallas Children's Museum and the mall of course! We had a busy, event filled, fast and fun quick trip!!!

 HIGHLIGHT of the Trip!!!

 It Was SOOOO HOT!!!

 This NEVER happens and I mean

NEVER

Hope You All Have Something Fun Planned For The Summer!!!

Gymnastics!

We have started gymnastics... It is going great!!! We are taking a mommy and me class and the girls are loving it. It is a lot of work on the mommy but totally worth it =)!!! We are taking it with two of my besties so it makes it that much more fun for all who are involved!!! These pics are from the first week so sweet little Lawson isn't in any of them, we will take some updated pics on Wed. so you can see the whole crew!

 A few tears on week one but now

the girls are brave & ready for the beam...

 Have a Wonderful Week!!!

Potty Training...

Potty Training Day One: Yikes.... Well, I am not sure we are ready... This potty training thing is tough. We bought all of the pt stuff, let the girls choose their own panties, and gave it a go first thing this morning. Our morning started off pretty good, didn't have many accidents but I swear we were in the bathroom ALL morning. I did the whole take them to pee every 30 minutes and well for us that was every 15 minutes between rotating girls and they just weren't that interested.

The girls are showing all signs indicating that they are ready. 1. Playing in their poop (gross). 2. Telling me they are shhhuuuwwweee. 3. Not wanting to sit in a wet diaper for a long period of time. I thought we would give it a go and well, looks like we will try it again in a few weeks.

Livi pee pee'din the potty once and she was soooo proud of herself (filled my momma heart up with love). Londyn was not buying it, she would pee in her panties and immediately tell me potty so I don't think she knows she needs to go until she is midpee. Giving my girls a big high five for trying, potty training date in a few weeks. No Rush!

Momma's, I have done lots of potty training reading (probably too much) but I would LOVE to hear what actually worked or didn't work for you, share your secrets!!!

I have been reading the girls a potty book for about 2 weeks and we have been talking potty talk lots. I would put them on the toilet about every 30 minutes and read them the book while they were going. If they were successful (once) I did the potty dance and gave praise, also rewarded with the m&m (wasn't a fan of this idea but I gave it a go cause almost everything I read said too... peer pressure).
