Liberty Lake, Part 2

 So much fun was had in Liberty Lake, and so many pictures were taken.  I think I have more on my phone in fact...


 That backyard held so much fun for all of us!  The girls loved just running all over it, and of course John got in on all the fun!


 Love getting this special time with Bob & Barby!






 Norah took this picture of them : )
 We made our traditional trip out to Coeur d'Alene, the park there is our favorite!


















 Ava took these : )


 I love this one!  It's at the pond next to our favorite little lunch spot, Bardenay. 
 Back in Liberty Lake we noticed that they added a ton of awesome stuff to the playground there. 
 Coolest park I've ever seen! Splash park, sand box, play structure and best of all, a full gym!! All the equipment uses your own body weight for resistance so parents & kids alike all get a great workout!! They even have a 5.2 mile loop that has 4 other gym spots you can incorporate into your circuit training! So awesome!











 Norah found some ants to play with.  

 John warned her that they might bite her, she didn't believe him...

 ...until it happened that is.
 So many more great sunset opportunities too!


 And more playing with dad.





 What a great trip!!

On the way home we stopped by Multnomah Falls.










As pretty as it was, turns out that many people in one place just made me want to get back in the car...

So thankful for these fun family trips!!

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
