newsflash!!!

Yesterday morning there was a commercial on Nick Jr. about potty training. I thought I'd try to take advantage of this instance of marketing to children and asked Charlotte if she'd like to wear panties and sit on the potty. She did! And guess what! She had an extremely successful day of going on the potty! Woo-hoo!!!

Rob suspected that she just did not want to do it because we wanted her to. Looks like he was right. :) She wore a diaper to bed last night, but otherwise she has been 100% a potty girl since yesterday morning. Way to go Charlotte! :D

good times

When Rob & I were first married, we made some friends who were also married with no children.... 3 1/2 years later it's great to get together with some of our old gang! We bought our first homes around the same time, had our first babies within about 6 months of each other, and had our second babies within about 7 weeks of each other.

All of the kids!

It was a lot of fun to see y'all- Hancocks & Spiveys!



One last photo-- we took Charlotte & Toby to the Visitor's Center at the Washington DC Temple this week. This is where Rob and I were married. The Visitor's Center has a lot of information and displays about the history of the Church and the life of Jesus Christ. When we were walking back to the car, Charlotte said, "This is where Mommy and Daddy and Charlotte and Toby got married." and "That was a good Jesus."

Also, yay! we have a sit & stand stroller!! Let's hear it for yard sales. ;)

watch out world, he's on the move



Toby is soooo close to crawling! I took this video a few days ago. He can now find a way to get to the things that he wants--- which means we are in big trouble! :)
