Big Weekend!!

We had a busy weekend. 

On Friday John, along with Matt, Erik, & Brian, had a great time at Brew Fest downtown, while the kiddos stayed over at Linda's and I went on an all night de-cluttering kick, cleaning the girls room, among other parts of the house.  I sure know how to live it up on my big night with the house all to myself!  But it's always such a good feeling to get it all back in order, love that!  

We had to get up early, and after breakfast together, the boys (John, Matt, Erik & Greg) headed out to Washougal National motocross racing event, and I headed to Jessica's to help her move. 
 The truck she got was cracking me up, it was HUGE.  I think we could have had a dance party in there after all the stuff *magically* got in there.  By the way, hiring movers is BRILLIANT.  

A big thank you to Linda for watching the kiddos and keeping them so well entertained all day!! 


We worked, and didn't stop until 3am, but we got EVERY SINGLE BOX unpacked, the place looks amazing!  Just need to hang a few pictures and it will be done!  Yay!!



Here's a shot from the track, this is how close John was to the race!

Pretty cool!!

On Sunday, after church I took the girls swimming.  Norah was so funny when we got there she just starts walking towards the pool and I say "Wait, Norah, did you forget something?"  She goes "Oh no, my goggles!!"  Um no, your LIFE JACKET!!!  

Once I put it on she just ran into the deep end with zero hesitation and jumped in.  So brave!
 The most impressive part was Ava though, she swam all over that pool with no life jacket!  She dove for toys, swam back and forth across the deep end, she never once made me question needing to save her.  She is a little fish!!  I was so proud of her!! 

We got home and I left to go help Jessica shop for a few things, while I was gone John took Ava to the park and taught her to ride her bike with no training wheels!!  Big day for our little girl!!


Here's a little video.  Little miss Ava is growing up, and we couldn't be more proud of her!! 
Great weekend!!

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
