"momma, potty!"

so, I have some adorable pictures, but not with me so it will have to be a later post...of M and our ducks. and of just M....
On the other hand, M has kinda sorta started potty training! Kinda sorta, because it's only been a couple of days that she's actually used it. We've had the potty chair in our bathroom for awhile and she's been using it as a stepping stool, and she's been sitting on it fully clothed pretty much every time I used the restroom. Well on monday M asked to go potty with her diaper off, so I took off her diaper, not expecting much, when, after she had sat down, she announced "yucky. pooping." and sure enough when she stood up, no it was not poop, but she did pee! She did it again later that night, three times yesterday, and twice today! I seriously thought it was just a fluke, but hey! She's still at it. She doesn't ask me yet when she needs to go, she just happens to be able to go at the same times I do. So, we still have dirty diapers, but maybe not for much longer! Woo Hoo! ::knock on wood:: !!!

Haley told me she said "Potty, all done". I just thought Haley couldn't understand her. I bet that's what she really said! Yea for Kenzie and mom and dad too! Keep with her and you will have it licked soon!. Lindsay was a breeze Rachel not so much!

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Coming Full Circle - Idaho

Life has run us around a bit, and we have enjoyed the journey.  As Facebook rather took over our lives in regards to blogging, I did not maintain my blog.  I find, however, that I enjoy coming back and reading my blog more than I like perusing old facebook posts.  So I begin again with blogging; for myself more than anything. We have managed, since my last post in 2012, to return home to Idaho.   We spent 5 great years in Colorado!  The kids grew up with the neighbors; McKenzie had horse riding lessons from a young lady named Carrie, in Longmont; she started playing flute in 2nd grade, and in 4th she switched to playing trumpet; Ethan started playing soccer, and Minecraft (video gamer in the making).  We got McKenzie a cat named Diamonds. We got a puppy who we named Ryder.  We got new appliances in the kitchen that I love (double oven, fridge with freezer drawer, etc)!  I mention them, because I am sad to have left them in Colorado.  W...
