We did it!!!!!!!

We did what you ask? We potty trained Mr. Carter man!!!!
We officially have a diaper free home! And I mean a 100% diaper free home he even stays dry at night! We are so proud of this little guy! We had the kid toilets out for some time now but never really got serious about the whole thing.  Then we decided the weekend before Eater to start really working on it.  I was still a little hesitant about him wearing big boy underwear but when Papa and Nana came to baby sit on Tuesday March 26th they put him in his under wear and really worked with him.  When I came home from preschool he was ready to be diaper free.  Papa would give him coins every time he went potty.  Spencer and I took it from there and really worked with him.  Everyone knows Carter's love for "happy cars" (the Disney car movie cars) that was an awesome way of awarding him when he did good.  We want with a very positive attitude about everything and he has done amazing! He has only had 2 accidents in almost a month.  I'm very lucky! I heard that boys are really hard so I was preparing myself for a long haul and I think that is why I was putting it off but I was pleasantly surprised and proud of my little man.  
Way to go Carter!!!!

Easter 2013

Easter was wonderful or should I say Easter week! We had a week packed with Easter activities.  The first was Thursday March 28 the Preschools Easter party.



 The bunny made an appearance! They took a picture of Aubrey on the bunnies lap so hopefully I will get that soon.  bust as for now this is the best I have. 
 After the preschool party we had a friend picnic where the kids got to enjoy another Easter egg hunt.

Friday March 29th (the first day of spring break) we meet up with our friends for a local Easter egg hunt.
 Friday night we drove out to the bay area and meet up with Titi for dinner and then spent the night at her house.  The next morning we got ready for our nephew, Graysons baptism.

 After the baptism we drove home and did our Easter bunny preparations.
 All ready....
 I love how Spencer and I try to incorporate both of our family traditions.  When he grew up he would wake up to his basket filled in front of his room.  Our kids were very surprised with what they found.
 I loved growing up with having an Easter egg hunt where we would look for our eggs, a chocolate bunny and a stuffed animal.

 It was tons of fun!  After our hunt we headed up to Sonora for a beautiful Easter Sunday with family.  The kids loved hunting for more goodies.
 Papa made the kids this very cool seesaw
 They love it and ask me almost everyday to go play on it!
 Sisters!
 We headed up to Columbia for their annual Victorian Easter Egg hunt.  It was a lot of fun despite the off and on rain. 

 Rain or shine this girl lives for a good Easter egg hunt!
 Family!  It was so much fun to see Great-Grandpa, Joan, Uncle Steve and Diana we don't get to see them that much lately so it was nice to catch up.
 Amazing dinner made by Nana and Papa
 Joan and Aubrey              Great Grandpa and Aubrey
