Lunch Time!

Makenna fell asleep eating her lunch. She was having a really hard time keeping her head up. At one point in the video, she slightly open her eyes, looks at me, and then closes them as if I wasn't there. She was really tired!

Makenna Potty Training

So we started potty training this week and I hate it! I don't wish this upon anyone! You will see in one of Makenna's pictures that she is crying, and truthfully, that is what I felt like doing as well. We went the first two days with her knowing she wasn't suppose to potty in her underwear but not knowing exactly how to prevent it. There were lots of messed for me to clean up. Right when I was about to give up I called up mom and Janie to vent and basically tell them I can't do it anymore. Janie told me she was watching "John and Kate Plus Eight" and they would make their kids sit on the potty until they went even if they were crying, so she told me I should try that. Well, the first two times she sat there for 45 min. until she went, but it worked and she did go. The next time was an hour and a half....talk about a sore bumb! Ever since that time it has ranged from 1/2 hour of sitting there until about 2 min. of sitting there.....it just depends on how much she really wants that Jelly Bean. I would say about 80% of the time she balls her eyes out and I have to sit there and listen to it so that I don't miss it when she goes pee.....it is very trying! Not only that, but during the time she is on the potty I can't move; therefor, I don't get anything done. The underwear over the bathtub is from her first day potty training and she wet her pants 5 times in about a 4 hour period. Target didn't have any of the thicker panties so I am picking some up at Baby's R Us today. I think those panties are so cute though! So far we haven't had any accidents in her panties since I have been forcing her to go on the potty. Now I just need her to start going herself.....any tips are welcome......I have no clue what I am doing! The last picture is of Makenna in what we call her "Big Girl Bed Time Panties." She thinks those are cool because they have the Disney princesses on them. Hopefully, this doesn't last much longer because I feel like a prisoner in my own home.

Pinetop with the Terry's

We had a really fun time with the Terry family up in Pinetop this last weekend. They rented a big cabin for all of us to stay in while the boys were hard at work on the Terry's family homestead. There was a lot of food to eat, movies to watch, and games to play. Keegan and Makenna sat in this huge chair together while we were antique shopping. It was great to get outside and everyone played wiffle ball together. There was a ton of toys for Keegan and Makenna to play with when they got there but I think their favorite was this Jeep. Makenna couldn't quite reach the pedals so Dustin pushed down the pedal with a stick as he tried to stear at the same time. They loved it! Thanks Terry's!

Makenna getting into candy

I caught Makenna getting into the candy above the sink. She did a pretty good job of getting the wrappers off, but when she couldn't, she would just put the whole thing in her mouth and then spit out the wrapper when she was finished with the candy. She is so sneaky and very quite....I had no idea she was doing this! The scary thing is she had to climb up there herself to get it.
