What we're reading...

We started reading chapter books with Caden and Halle. I was kind of hesitant at first, but they have really enjoyed it! We finished our first book, The BFG.
Here are our favorite parts:

Lucas-Wizpoppers
Liz-Snozcumbers
Caden-When the giants played ball with the BFG
Halle-Little Sophie


We started our 2nd book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.


Does anyone have any other favorite books that we should read? We're open to suggestions!

Norma reminded me that Lucas was a pantless cowboy when he was young too...

Like father, Like daughter

(Yes, I know there is a pause symbol on this picture. I couldn't find the actual picture so I took a picture of the one on our wedding dvd.)

This is our life...

The last couple of weeks I have tried and tried to potty train Halle. She's almost 3 so it's about time that she learned that. I potty trained Caden in 3 days, but Halle has definitely been a struggle. We have our good days and we have our bad days. Luckily the past couple of days have been good. I'm hopeful it will eventually stick with her. She finally completed her first potty chart. She got to pick a prize at the dollar store and she was very excited. She picked the princess wand which she broke in 10 minutes. Thankfully Grandma Eyre was able to fix it.


Caden felt left out so we decided to make a chart for him. Not a potty chart, but an "I can wipe my own bum" chart. I know that's way too much information, but it's been a struggle for him and this has seemed to help. He picked the light saber for his prize. This is his Luke Skywalker pose. He's really been into Star Wars lately.


Onto something else...
Since Caden was so good on our trip to California and he was really brave when we went to Disneyland, we told him we would buy him a fish. Lucas and I thought it would be a really easy pet, but when we went to the pet store we had no idea all the stuff you had to buy for them. We wanted the fish to last longer than 3 days, so we decided to splurge. We are happy to report that he's been alive for longer than 3 weeks! We'll see how long I can keep him alive.

Bob the fish...

And for your viewing pleasure...Halle the pantless cowgirl...
