Our First Home

These are just a couple pictures of the house, it's a foreclosure so there is alot of work to do. We'll post some before and after pictures in a couple weeks. I'm completely stressed and totally excited at the same time.

Ashton is Potty Trained!

Ashton's Green Dino Underoos
So we started potty training about a month ago after a random day when Ashton asked us to sit on the big potty. I thought, well maybe he's ready for this. So I bought some Elmo and dinosaur underwear and a potty training we did go. The first week was really tough we had a lot of accidents but then as he started to recognize his bodies cues he figured it out. I still have to be pretty proactive, but we hardly ever have accidents any more, and the last few nights he's been waking up dry! Hurray for Ashton, what a big boy. And yeah for us no more diaper purchases. I'm switching to cloth diapers for Noah so I really am done buying disposable diapers. I know you probably think I'm crazy, but they have some of the most amazing cloth diapers out there. The ones I'm using are called Bum Genius, and whoever created them truly was a genius! Of course it's a little more laundry but other than that they are just as easy to use as disposables. They have velcro tabs and everything. So we're helping the environment and saving alot of money in the long run. I know it's not for everyone, but if you are interested I'd be happy to answer any questions!

Ashton says hello to Noah

Ashton has a new morning ritual when Noah wakes up. He likes to crawl into Noah's bed and lay down next to him. It's pretty cute and his brother loves it. Noah is really starting to notice his brother and enjoys his company. Ashton is so sweet to him, I feel really blessed to have these two in my life! I love that Ashton really wants Noah to be happy. He tries to entertain his little brother by shaking toys for him, making silly faces or just talking to him. He also loves to give him kisses and is really gentle. Some times when Noah is crying he will even give me suggestions like, "mommy Noah wants Mommy milk". Sometimes life is still pretty crazy but I try and treasure all the good moments.
