Where did time go?

Last time I posted we were just starting potty training with Caden...and that almost two weeks ago! I'm happy to say that he is doing SOOO good - we couldn't be happier! Just mastering #2 takes a little longer...,but that is to be expected!! Good job Caden! He'll be off to preschool for sure this January...yippee!

What else? It's been a crazy busy summer! Austin is so excited to start Kindergarten next week (for the 2.75 hours that he'll go in a week)...more exciting for the following week when he'll go for the 5 days!

Our boys are just growing up - potty trained...going to public school...both very exciting!

With that, comes a new adventure for me! Dave just faxed in my paperwork to Silpada Designs to become an Independent Rep! I'm so excited and can't wait to receive my jewelry - it is so beautiful - to be able to wear and share! So, that's something new for me. I've been researching Silpada for over 2 months now and couldn't be more happy about my decision!

So - enjoy these last days of summer (where is the sun???)...and take care!!

No turning back

Yesterday morning I was checking emails when Caden walked in holding a pair of underwear and said, "I wanna wear these". So - okay - those were the key words that Austin said when he was ready and it worked well!

So, he's been wearing big boy undies for two days now and doing great! He's had a couple of accidents, but for the most part he knows when he has to go and thinks it is super cool when he does (ok...for the most part he is going outside on the rocks, barkdust, etc...it's a boy thing...and it's hot out!). He was dry even when he woke up this morning. Dave, Austin & I are so excited...it's super cool for our little guy to make this big boy move! Way to go Caden!!

(So on Sunday when I was running errands by myself I came across a box of Huggies at Target on Clearance. I had told Caden last month when we bought a box of diapers at Costco that we didn't want to buy more - that was the last one...at $40 a pop. So, I got the box the other day, thinking we might need them but was THRILLED to take them back tonight!! He is working towards a new backpack, as he knows that he gets to get a backpack and go to school (in January) when he is 3 and potty trained!! Yippee!! Can you tell I'm excited??)

Sunriver 2008

We've been home for a week now and I've been meaning to post about our vacation the whole time! The end of July we spent a week in Sunriver, our favorite close to home vacation destination with my parents. We love it there! Here's the rundown of our week!!

Friday - arrived late, had our annual Ponderosa pizza! Settled in and to bed!

Saturday - got on our bikes and rode to the airport, where they were having a Fly-In with the plane and classic cars. Fun! Then rode to the Village for lunch (yummy Aloha food!) and to enjoy Sunfest!

Sunday - Rode to the Village in the a.m. for breakfast (donuts!) at Hot Lava! Yum! Enjoyed a little more of Sunfest and the boys played putt-putt with Dave & my Dad. Then to North Twin Lake for an afternoon of fishing! We were all so dirty, but it was fun!

Monday - Pool time!! We had a great time at the South Pool...the boys just love the slide! Lots of good people watching there too! We enjoyed the park too that day, until Caden got injured...

Tuesday - My Mom and I went to Bend to shop at the Old Mill shopping center and then to lunch...fun times and a little girl break! That afternoon we took the boys to the Village for the bouncy house and a goody at Goody's!

Wednesday - My parents went to Sisters, while the Lee Family just stayed at the house...sat in the sun, enjoyed the last day!! Can't wait until next summer, if not sooner!

whoo-hoo for Caden!

This morning Caden slept in until 8:15...he must have been a tired three year old. I noticed that Dave had put him in a pull-up after his shower last night and THE STARS WERE STILL THERE!! Completely dry! So, we got him on the potty and after about an hour of drinking and trying he made a pee-pee! Yeah!! So, he's had on big boy underwear all day - of course, with a few accidents, but maybe getting the idea!

Good job Caden - let's do it!!

new wheels

Caden is set with a couple new wheels for the summer.

Wheels #1 ~ with Mommy version...his birthday present from Dave, Austin & I:


Wheels #2 ~ Big Boy version...birthday present from his Great Grandma Jean:

He is pretty daring in wheels #2, taking his first tumble this afternoon. No wounds, but scared him us pretty good!
