YEAH!!! Ryan graduated last Friday!!!!! I am so proud of him and all of his accomplishments. He has sacrificed so much for this and we are EXCITED to be moving on to the next phase of our lives!! He will be starting to look for a job soon where he will be using his degree which is in Digital Media (graphics design, web page design, etc.). He is so great!!!!!!!!!! Good job Ry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny Carter Story!!

So...I am attempting to potty train Carter (who is now 2 1/2 years old). I took him to Wal-Mart hoping to get him excited by letting him pick out his own underwear (he chose Mickey Mouse of course) and we bought one of those toilet inserts to make the potty his size. It took him one day to decide it was okay to actually sit on the potty. When he finally did I told him he had to go pee before he could get in the tub so he yells "PEEP K all done mom!" Now he does that everytime he sits on it, pretty much we have had ZERO potty training success. ANY SUGGESTIONS???? I have no idea what I am doing, but I am SO SICK of changing his diapers!!
On another note... our stupid camera is broken so no pictures for awhile! Bummer! Hopefully it will be fixed soon!

My SUPER Husband!!

*Cheesy Alert* This post is dedicated to my wonderful husband. He's such a good husband and father. He is always helping me out and I don't tell him thank you nearly as much as I should. He is getting ready to graduate and I am so proud of him for sticking with it (especially since he's had to deal with all of my whining about him being so busy)! He is so talented in all that he does. Most importantly, he loves me in spite of my MANY flaws. It's been a "grouchy" couple of weeks around our house and Ry has had to deal with a grumpy, sleep-deprived wife and he has done it with no complaints!! He never complains about the dishes in the sink, he just does them and if I don't feel like making dinner he either does it or doesn't complain about eating leftovers. He's such a great dad too! The kids love him! Rylee has even started saying "da-da" (no ma-ma yet)! I feel so blessed to have him in my life! Love ya Ry!!
