I don't know what I've got to do to get a comment on this thing!! Cute pics of a one year old on a toilet don't even get a bite! You three readers of my blog are a tough crowd! What do I have to do? Announce I'm three months pregnant or something? Well, I am in fact, three months pregnant. I'm due March 29, a week after my sister. Having cousins so close is really fun and I am excited. I had an ultrasound a month ago because I had some bleeding, and the ultrasound tech guy told me to take it easy. No heaving lifting, rest, and other things, so I've been doing so all month. Then my Dr. yesterday says it's not a big deal and if I'm not bleeding I can do all those things I want to do. What?! Would have been nice to know that a month ago. Oh well, not mowing the lawn has been nice! : ) But now that I know I'm fine, life is better. : ) (I even mowed some of the lawn today! : )

Potty Training My One Year Old?

No, I am not potty training my one year old. I put Teague in the bathtub and he looked like he was about to poop in the tub AGAIN, so I pulled him out and put him on the little toilet. I left to do something and kind of forgot out him sitting there :} After five minutes or so I came back and he had gone, hurray! Way better than in the bathtub! Plus he just looked so cute sitting there I had to take a picture and share his story. Now, if I could only get Kami to do this!

Lake Cleveland with Wardle's

While my brother and his family were here this summer we had lots of fun. My kids really enjoyed playing with their cousins, and still ask about them more often. One adventure was fishing and dinner at Lake Cleveland. The only one with any luck was Janill who caught a dead fish. (would that be considered good luck or bad luck?) Anyway, it's always fun to enjoy the Lake and being in the mountains. (Yes, this is also back in July!)

Derek showing off his muscles!

It rained off and on so Karly and Janill ate their food in the back of the expedition.

Dinner in the Mountains with Petersons

This kid is amazing I tell you what!! Taking a mover to the mountains, you're just asking to get this! This kid loves dirt and mud, so he was in Heaven! Add some cheetos on top and you have everything a little boy could ask for! (PS I'm out of order, this was back in July)

Teague gives me this look quite often now. He looks at me like this then tries to explain to me why it's ok that he's about to do what he's about to do. It's usually something he shouldn't do, but he always has a good explanation why it's ok!

This was so rare, we had to get a picture!

This clean face only last about five minutes, if we're lucky!

Teague wasn't the only one loving all the dirt!

Kami showed us how much she enjoyed the mountains also.

But dirty or not, she's still cute!

Little happenings

What a Cutie!! I love this little girl. She is such a sweetie. She likes to take care of her dolls and any cousins younger than she is (even if they are almost as big.) Yep, I love her to pieces!

Teague likes to help clean, or at least pretend to.

Now, if he would only clean as often as he makes a mess he would be kept busy all day!

Here's Derek in his Diego jammies making a silly face!

Eague-A-Ooski Me Uv You!

My baby is no longer a baby. Teague is ONE! It seems once they learn to walk and turn one, their personalities explode and it's so fun to watch them. He just follows the big kids around and learns new things all the time. His birthday was last Friday. We didn't have a big party, but he did open presents and enjoy a cupcake with bright blue frosting. G & G Wardle came by to give him presents on their way out of town. That was nice, and it's a good thing my kids get fun presents from grandparents, because I'm not a big toy buyer. One thing they gave him a toy cell phone which is perfect for Teague, and we joked about giving a one year a cell phone. I wanted to get him a bike type rider that he can sit on and use his legs to push, but it was twice as much as a real Trike, so Kami got a trike for Teague's birthday! What a jip, huh? He will enjoy it next year I guess. He had a fun day nonetheless. Teague is one fun little guy, and super cute. And from the words of Kami: Eague-a-ooski me uv you!

We had a few outfits throughout the day.

Breakfast was messy, cupcakes were messy, Teague is messy!

Happy Birthday Teague! We love You!

G & G Black

My grandparents from Oregon came to visit in July when everyone was in town. I LOVE when they come. My grandpa Black is one of the funniest people I know, and I love to listen to his stories! My grandma is sweet and likes to know about all of her grandkids and great grandkids. This was the first time they had seen Teague so that was sweet. I just love these two great people! And I must say, they are looking good for 89 years old!

We had to wake up Kami for this picture (hence the yawn!)
