It's Potty Time

Potty training in 1 day? No way! 2 days? Don't think so. 3 days? I'll have to tell you tomorrow! We are on day 2 of this patience building experience and here's what we've had so far: 3 Capri Suns, 3 suckers, 3 snack packages of M&M's, and 3 successful uses of the potty .. successful potty training? Not sure. Maybe I'll know better what I'm doing next time I potty train!

Here are a few pictures of our adventure:)
P.S. Don't tell our dentist about all of the sugar!!

Swimming and Michael's Graduation Party

We went to Oklahoma City for a dear friend's graduation party. While there we stayed at the Hampton in Bricktown .. it had an awesome indoor swimming pool with a slide, water spouts, umbrella and basketball goal! Ellie really enjoyed her first swim this year!
Saturday night we celebrated Michael's graduation from Law School! Congratulations Michael!! We are so proud of you in your accomplishment and wish you all the best as you begin this next stage in life! Thanks for inviting us to join in your celebration!














Fort Worth Zoo

Ellie had her first trip to the zoo last Friday. Unfortunately she wasn't quite as excited about it as we thought she would be. T.J. and I enjoyed it though! Ellie had fun feeding the birds and riding in the stroller we rented. She was scared by the elephants, fake crocodile and fake dinosaurs and would get really upset when she spotted one. I guess we'll have to try again next year!
