Potty Time

Mackenzie has taken an interest in going to the potty over the past few months. I started sitting her on it before bath time due to having a few accidents during bath time. Last week she sat and had success! We haven't had success since, but she does try to pull her diaper off and run to the potty. So today, I pulled out the training troops. I am not trying to train her, but I am encouraging her exploration of the process.

Terrific Tuesday

We are loving having Aunt Martha and Briley hanging out with us. Hunter was able to practice his swimming skills out and show off to Aunt Martha. He has taken off with swimming all he needed was a little bit of confidence. Swim lessons gave him that confidence. Mackenzie is not going to have any confidence issues with water. We have to keep a close eye and hand on her around the pool. The weather and company were perfect.

Sweet treats and Easter Eats

So...having Spring Break the week before Easter, my sister in town, and tons of ideas from Pinterest I couldn't help but want to throw another "Little People Party". Call me crazy, but putting these things together thrills me. I love watching everyone come together and have fun. The activities involved the following:
Easter coloring sheets
Easter Card creations
Easter Egg dying
Hunting Easter Eggs
Playing, bouncing, climbing, laughing, and anything else that makes little kids happy.
Even though the planning and preparation can be extensive and the party only 3 hours long, I enjoy the whole process. Even the clean up is not so bad, knowing the kids had a blast.

Special Visitors

YAY! Briley and Martha have come to join us during my Spring Break. Briley didn't take long to warm up at all. He jumped right in. The kids are having a blast running around the house. Today we went to the beach. The water was beautiful. We even ran into the Briggs family. Hunter loved having Colin to play with. We were able to stay about 2 hours before the kids started getting cranky. Naps were a must for us all. After good naps and some playtime, Spaghetti was on the menu tonight. I couldn't help but capture those sauce covered faces. I am loving having family in town. We are going to take full advantage of my Spring Break and them being in town.

Date Night

Adam and I are starting to try to take more date nights. Here is a quick pic of us having some fun.

Easter Egg Hunt

The kids' school puts together an Easter Egg hunt every year. Hunter was looking forward to hunting some eggs. I was hoping Adam would be able to go with us, but he had to work. Mackenzie did collect a few this year which topped her record of 1 egg last year.
