Crazy faces

Hanging out with family all week could drive you a little batty...

Cullen (Micah's second oldest)

Javen (Micah's oldest turned 13 at the beach!)

Sunglasses are in style

Even though it rained most of the week, we found a chance to where our shades....

Free Babysitting

Bria, Micah's oldest daughter, is 8 and LOVES babies! Which was perfect for keeping Logan entertained. If I was ever wondering where Logan was, I knew I just had to find Bria.

Tuttles love Olives

Christian (Jeremy's son) demonstrating how to eat olives. We went through this huge can in two and a half days!!!! Yikes!

Double Trouble

Micah's three year old Mya and my two year old Nathaniel have a love/hate realationship at this stage. Sometimes they play very nicely together and other times they were both in tears. I think if we give them another year or two they will be best friends!

Family

What a crazy family! I love em! We had an awesome time at the beach this last week. More pictures/posts to follow.

Potty Training

Well we've been at it for about three weeks now. Oma got the ball rolling for us and you'd think we would have been able to keep that ball rolling. Well... much to my dismay we have not made much progress... in fact we've regressed :-( It all started when we tried to go poo and it didn't come and didn't come, so we decided to let Nate run around bare buns for a few minutes before trying again. Soon Logan starting crying and I got totally distracted until I heard the words "poo poo Momma poo poo". Too Late :-( It was all over the white upholstered chair he was sitting on. LAME. It was all I could do to keep my sanity. Oh no Nathaniel, Oh no Nathaniel. And so I now keep him in a diaper at ALL times. I remember stories of when we were little getting M&Ms or Chocolate chips for using the toilet. So I started thinking about what Nate's incentive could be. I had some taffy and thought I would NEVER want him to have that except if it was something special and so there I had it! Nate's special treat for going poo in the toilet. So I didn't think that through all the way and now I'm sure we are going to have a terrible visit to the dentist someday! I should have thought of stickers as my incentive. Is it too late to switch?

Swimming with Daddy

Nathaniel has made alot of progress in gaining confidence in the water. He can kick his feet, put his face in the water (Daddy even plunged his head under as they went from one lane to the next... hey the big kids were doing it, so Nate wanted to do it too), and jump in from the side. What a big boy!

Best Friends

I love these pictures... I love my boys!

Glasses

If only Mr. Potato Head knew where he put his glasses.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

First Kiss

Her name is Zoe. This is actually his second kiss (same girl though). My good friend Jeri ( from college) and her daughters came over for a play date.... I guess it was more date then I expected :-)

Roller Skating

So I was thinking that two years old is a little early to start on roller skates, but a momma friend of mine wanted to get out of the house with her duo so we took at chance at Oaks Park Roller Rink. Her mom was in town and watched the two babies while we took our toddlers out on the rink. Nathaniel's feet are still too small for the actual skates so they gave him the kind you strap onto your shoes. I got him all set then turned around to make sure Logan was taken care of, when I turned around again Nate was 10 feet away from me just walking as if he always wore skates!

Sorry it's sideways... you can see he was pretty good at it though!
