Potty training!

Day three is today, and wil is doing awesome!! i can hardly believe how easy it is for him!!! He has slept in undies for 2 nights now, night number one he woke up dry and sat on the potty and went right away!! then later that morning he came in and i asked him if he had to go and he said "yes" so after sitting there for a while i was going to make him get up, went back in to see how he was doing and he says "i did it!!" i looked and there was a hugeantic #2~!!!!! holy cow this kid can do this!!! then he had a few little accidents yesterday but can stop himself and make it to the potty. Last night he woke up crying at about 130, he was dry so i asked him if he needed to go and he said yes again, and went alot!!! that was why he was crying! then went back to bed and woke up this morning dry again....... im so impressed, and no accidents yet today at all, we went to the library and i had him in a pullup just to be safe but when we got home it was still dry!!!! he has gone 3 times today, i think hes got it...... no wait hes deff got it!! This kid has made all this stuff way too easy on me :D
The pic of Coop is just cuz hes cute and his cheeks crack me up! :)

This IS going to happen!

Status as of right now..... no potty in the chair..... we got potty on the floor of the bathroom, have gone through 2 pairs of undies..... its soooo close..... now we are watchin Bolt. this IS going to happen!!!!!
maybe...... if not today, then tomorrow, if not tomorrow...... then I will eat the entire bag of m&m's and we will pick up in a few weeks.... lol

Beach!

Last week my in-laws had a beach put in the backyard!!! it was the coolest thing to watch. the back yard is sort of tyred so they dug up all the grass on the bottom tyre and put sand all in there then laid the tarp in the water and blasted truck loads of sand on top of it.

It took em a couple days to get all the dirt outta there you can see where all the water is in a puddle above the wall, thats all sand now, and the lake used to just drop off from the seawall and there would be immediately like 3 feet of water, now there is actually a beach, they brought in 4 semi trucks with 2 trailers each of sand that they blasted into the water, it was awesome. so i dont have to worry so much about wil falling off the sea wall and into the water, its shallow enough that he will just bonk his head. makes me feel better.

The day after it was sunny all afternoon until wil woke up from his nap, then the stupid clouds came in and it got a little chilly again. michigan is so dumb, but we wanted to go walk along the beach, well wil "accidentally" fell into the water...... so i just let him sit there and play till he turned blue and got the body shivers, then i pulled him out, he woulda stayed in there all day though , he doesnt care if he cant feel his fingers.....

im pretty sure thats how he got croup again this weekend, but whatever he had fun lol. If it ever gets warm here we might be able to break out the swim suits, but i doubt that will happen,..... stinkin michigan.....

anyways im totally stoked, we will be spending every day at the beach!!!!!! so if anyone needs me thats where ill be, no need to ever leave the property lol. feel free to come visit!!!! theres a beach in the backyard!!!!

I keep trying to tell him that makeup is for girls
he doesnt care, i caught him like this and he says "i hansome mommy"

Coop has recently discovered toys, can't quite get em in his mouth , and i dunno if i've bragged enough about how well this kid sleeps!!! its freakin ridiculous!!! like 10 hours a night!!!, he wakes up when nick's alarm goes off in the morning!!! i <3>

photo shoot

I did Wil n Coop's photo shoot this week, or last week really it has been a week long thing, i've been tryin to catch em in good moods n what not, i set up a make shift studio in the corner behind the pool table and just left it up and kept goin back every few days to see if the kids were wanting to be cooperative. Wil took a few really good ones, i need to go back and get a few more of Cooper, he still doesnt want to push his head up for a pic, stinkin lazy boy, hes getting stronger though., Wil didnt push his head up till a little after he was 3 months too tho.

This is the look he gives me all the time, like im retarded.... so i had to post one up there, i cant imagine what hes thinking, and maybe i dont wanna know lol

Wil got bribed with a cookie, his pictures turned out better than Coop's because the light was able to hit just him and not the backdrop, i need to get some sort of thing to put coop on so that the background will stay dark... Im not a professional photographer by any means but im pretending lol, i think some of em turned out real cute!

Wil through the years

Wil the day he was born, or maybe the day after

Wil's 2nd Bday!

Wil had the best bday a little boy could ask for!! We opened presents with him in the morning, after he woke up to a bedroom filled with

bALloOnSand a happy bday banner, then had his favorite breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast.

he got the sweetest Handy Manny guy and all his little tools! ( handy manny is wil's favorite)

After a morning of playing we went out for pizza and breadsticks at Gus's, also Wil's favorite, and mine too of course. I tried to talk him into mcdonald's because i had a gift card but he wanted PIZZA!!!

After nap we headed over to Camryn's house. We decided to have a double bday party because Camryn and Wil have the same birthday and they both turned 2! then we had an awesome evening filled with playing, more presents, burgers and cup cakes!

It was alotta fun and alotta work but the kids had a blast, i'm glad we did it, it was awesome

His face right here sums it all up for me!! We were singin happy bday and he was soooo excited and just utterly happy, it was totally priceless, last year he really didnt care about his bday at all so this is the first time i've ever experienced something like this as a mom and man it was great!
