Franklin Main Street Festival Fun!

Finley being brave, riding the pony! (Probably mostly because Samantha, her BFF, was doing it with her!) Oh and we all did a little advertising for Little Star with our new matching shirts!!
My favorite street vendor treat! Krazy Kut Taters!!!!!!! We also had kettle corn, roasted ears of corn, corndogs, and polish sausage, ugh! We had so much fun with our good friends the Lees and we all left with stomach aches, so, I'd say, mission accomplished!

MIRACLES STILL HAPPEN!

Well, this has been a major parenting breakthru week for us! Finley went from Zero to Full speed on potty training. I have been floored by it all, FLOORED! Potty training used to be my nemesis, people would say when she is ready, she will just do it...it will be easy! I DID NOT believe them for one second! We had tried, oh we had tried, but when she decided to do it on her terms...it was sudden and immediate. It has been so fun getting to praise her all week and see her be so proud of herself. It is crazy how much more grown up it makes her seem! Wow, where did the time go!
Secondly, Cason FINALLY decided to start taking a bottle! This has been a major issue too, he would get so mad and no matter what we tried we could not get him to take a bottle (which has made for some serious challenges as a working mom!) It all feels rather magical and like a HUGE GIFT! Thank you Jesus! You heard my desperate mommy cries and amazingly you even care about potty training and bottles!

DeTrays in Mexico!



We had a really nice vacation in Mexico...definitely not long enough and very different vacationing with kids but so fun! The kids did great and Finley loved every minute of it! She is such a delight right now...so thrilled with everything, so full of wonder so full of WORDS! She is hilarious and getting SO into fairytales and pretend play lately! She has taken to referring to herself as Ariel and dad is King Triton. So obviously I couldn't just stay mom and she decided I would be Sleeping Beauty and Cason is Desperaux! It is really funny she does it all the time and won't allow us to call each other by any other names. This was an especially big game at pool time where she would where her Ariel swimsuit that she just HAD to have. So much fun!


Cutie Beach Babies!
SOO our life right now...Cason is crazy fast at grabbing sister's hair! And our hands are full pretty much most of the time!!
