Potty Princess

After 7 months Jayna finally went poop on the potty!! She has been too scared to do this since we potty trained her earlier this year. We tried everything to get her to do it. We even took her to Toys R Us and told her she could pick out anything in the store if she would go and she just calmly walked right out the door and said "No thanks, maybe next time." Seriously, who is this kid?! So we just had to sit back and wait and in true Jayna style as soon as it was her idea to do it she never looked back. I need to remember this about her personality for her teenage years. ;)

We've had this princess toy on our shelf for months waiting for Jayna to go poop on the potty to get to play with it. And it did not disappoint!!

Serious Business

Kepler does not mess around with dinner. He was determined to get every last bite of his spaghetti!

Aunt Mona

It was so awesome having Mona here for a visit. She's so fun and loves the kids and is so helpful with house stuff too. 

This was hilarious! We were teaching Jayna how to use scissors and she couldn't stop opening and closing her mouth every time she cut. Too cute! Now let's just hope her new love of cutting just stays with paper.

Mona bought the kids the cutest books and read them to them over and over. 

My Birthday

I turned 29 this year. My last year of being young! I don't know how I feel about this. It was a great day though. Mona was here which was so fun. And Gibb got me an awesome gift, a new Blendtech!

I think Jayna and Kepler look so similar here!

Just took my smoothies to a whole new level!

Mona watched the kids for us so we could go out for dinner. It was a good day.

Thanksgiving

We went down to Edmonton for Thanksgiving. It was perfect timing to see new baby Milo! Mona flew in to Edmonton while we were there and is coming back for a visit and to get some dental work done. So perfect!

Baby snuggles are the best!

Jayna loves Milo

Grandma Time

Jayna and Kepler love my mom! They had a great time with her while we were in Vegas, it's so nice to not have to worry about our kids at all when we leave them. She even took them to the library and met some new friends for me, perfect!!

The kids love the Bachyardigans we brought them home from our trip!

Las Vegas

Gibb had a course in Vegas, so my mom watched the kids for us so I could go with him. We had fun walking the strip and seeing all the amazing hotels. We ate some awesome food and went to Cirque du Soleil one night. One day while Gibb was at his course I pampered myself at the spa and the other day I did some shopping. It was a fun little getaway!

We walked down the strip really far one night, we were past all the popular hotels and restaurants and it was kind of late and we were starving. So we stopped at this random diner to eat. It was super cheesy looking and we didn't have very high expectations but it ended up being so yummy!
