Thanksgiving, in a million photos...

 This very well may be the most pictures I've shoved into one post EVER.  But that's ok, they are a little late, so I don't want to drag them out over several days.  So behold, our Thanksgiving long weekend, in no particular order. : )
 Love my sister!
 Cousin Kay is so great with the kids, it was a pleasure having her join us!

 E & T, one of my favorite couples!

 Jeff is back, to stay this time!  Yay!



 Too much fun with the blankets, they had these adults working!

 Aren't they cute?
 Reading!
 My love.
 Sweet face.
 Love Abby.
So cute & funny.

 Aaaaaaah.
 Will made us the best turkey yet!
 He has since been asked to make all meals that follow...
 Auntie Linda, our favorite.


 Pinochle, game 326.
 A pile of kids.  They all wanted to snuggle with auntie D'Auna.
 Everyone kept threatening to steal bites of the turkey before it got carved.
 Mom and her boys.

 I heart him.  One of the best parts of this trip was to get to spend so much time together without him working, just relaxing and having fun, what a blessing!

 Love his face.
 Typical. : )
 This girl. 

 Sexy mama.
 Still working.
 Love them.
 woMAN DOWN!!  Too much turkey...

 Mom & Daughter, so cute!

 She was reluctant to stop playing for 2 seconds to take a picture with dad, such is life when I'm your mom, get back here!! lol
I blame these two for the phone withdraw Norah went through when she got home....
 Happy.  I love happy.
 Playing with Nan
 Brother & Sister.
 Jeff always has an "alternative smile" for me.

 I think he's smitten with her. (Another phone, NO!!)
 Auntie Kim!

 Love this family!

 Jeffie is sleepy.

 Gingerbread houses and men, what more could you ask for?

 Oh yeah, blanket forts, of course!
 And horsey rides!
 And wonderful long hikes up mountains...

 We all hiked from Government Camp up to Timberline Lodge, or at least the base of it. 









 Only four of us made it the whole way, it was pretty intense.  I LOVED it.  I was ready to go back the next day but no takers.  : )

 There's that turkey again, I guess you can't have too many pictures of the turkey, right?

 So much food, even after 4 days, there was still a lot left!


This is my favorite house in Government Camp, if you were wondering. I make everyone go for a walk over to check it out!  It's much bigger than can fit in this picture. 




 Vivienne & Linda



 Ski lift swings = happiness!
 Cousins!
 They kept walking like this in circles saying "Well this is awkward", it was cracking me up.
 Dads turn!
 This face melts my heart!
 Many hikes were had by all, Government Camp is the best!
Look, more phone.  I kid, Linda is the best at entertaining the kids, she has a ton of games she plays with them.  She was sick our whole trip, I was so thankful she rallied and hung out with us anyway!  

What a wonderful time!  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, my family totally makes it!

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
