Anniversary Weekend

John and I had a great time at the beach for the weekend, all by ourselves!  
Mom took the kiddos, thanks mom!!!  

We immediately hit up a happy hour after we dropped them off.  We tried a new place in McMinnville called 411 Lounge.  They are known for their Bloody Mary's, this one is a Thai Bloody Mary.  YUM!!  
 I'm not even a fan of Bloody Mary's but this one was delicious! 
 Next we headed to Lincoln City where we got settled in, then ran some errands, including picking up dinner at Jasmine Thai.  We have a tradition of getting their Pad Kee Mao extra spicy, then crying over how wonderfully delicious and crazy spicy it is.  At first you aren't sure if you can eat it, it's that spicy.  Then you can't stop eating it.  I can't explain it, but you've got to try it!  


We mostly stayed in that night playing cards and chatting, it was great!

We did run over to the casino briefly to check out the scene.  We made it there just in time to watch a woman win $527,000 on a slot machine.  It was pretty awesome.  I loved her reaction, "Can I swear?" she asked, lol.
They sectioned her off as she called every single person she knew, awesome!

The next morning I made us a nice little breakfast:

 Hers & His


We braved the rain for a nice 2 miles on the beach.



We hit up the outlet mall and did some shopping.  



And Saturday we drove down to Newport to have dinner with our good friends Matt & Rhi.  I'm really sad I forgot to take a picture of us all at the restaurant.  We've NEVER had dinner, just the four of us, with no kids.  It was really fun!

Sunday was fun too, we had breakfast at Wildflower, our favorite breakfast spot in LC, it never disappoints. We cleaned up the house and went on one last beach walk before we headed home to snuggle our girls, we missed them!!

What a perfect trip!  
Happy 8 years my love!!
xoxo

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...
