HB to Me.

We had a great 4th of July.  
We spent it at home having a little BBQ
with friends.  

This is only our second year home on the 
4th since we moved here 7ish years ago.
This neighborhood never disappoints with the 
fireworks either.  

 I searched the world for star shaped cookie cutters,
apparently they don't exist.  Next year, swear.
 No, I don't Pinterest, why do you ask?? 
 The kids loved the skewers.  They are really safe 
for babies.  That is probably why she loved them.  
#danger baby  oh and the marshmallows.  That didn't hurt.

 Heidi made a beautiful festive cake!








  Lots of fireworks, fun had by all.
Can't beat that.  

Happy 4th of July, hope yours rocked too.
Oh and Happy Birthday to me.  This is one 
of my favorite presents "Mom's Gonna Snap"
could it be more fitting???  

My husband bought me a juice squeezer!!!
It's amazing!!  Jessica is taking us to see 
Norah Jones in concert, how cool is that?
Dad got me Photoshop which I can't wait to 
use and Mom is getting me an iPhone but I 
think I might wait until the 5 comes out...  

How spoiled am I???  What a great birthday.

Wasn't hard to beat last year.  Grandpa died one
year ago from today.  I miss him so much.  It makes 
me very happy to know he is watching over us,
up there in heaven, with Grandma, doin' the Don. 

Love you Grandpa.  We think about you all the time.

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
