He has short hair again....

This weekend Tavo decided he had enough of his long hair and wanted to get it cut. We knew it was long enough to donate, so that is just what he did. Results of short hair again :)
Before...
And after...

She's mastering it ;)

This is a chart we have been using to motivate JR to go in the potty! This is a picture from last Tuesday the 19th. Since JR turned two she has shown signs of wanting to use the potty, but only went pee and poo in it once then wanted nothing more to do with it. We backed off and let her come around. Of course this is really hard when your daughter knows very well she needs to pee or poo before it is happening. Chayo is on vacation and JR spent some time with her auntie Shelly and her cousins last week. On Monday the 18th, JR decided to start using the potty at Auntie's. I had planned to work with her during the 3 weeks that Chayo was going to be on vacation and I was going to be off work for 2 weeks. It all worked out perfect, she was READY! I think it really took going over to Auntie's first to get it all started, but whatever works, right.

We are so proud of her! We are on week two and she is doing so well. No diapers when we go out. She is doing so well wearing big girl undies and telling us when she needs to go. Only wearing diapers at nap and night time. I think night time is going to take some work, she wets a lot at night. She uses the public restroom so well when we go out. I think she actually waits until we get to a place to tell me she has to pee. I wish she would just go at home ofcourse, public restrooms are not my favorite. She will not poop in the potty yet, which I'm not sure what to do about that. She waits till nap time or night time when she has a diaper on to do that. One step at a time, right.

WAY TO GO JAYCEE!

Circus Fun!

On Saturday we went to Barnum & Bailey Circus. What a blast! It was both, mine and JRs 1st time! We are so proud of JR, she did so well for the whole 2 hrs and 15mins. She was in totally amazement :) Those of you that know JR well, know that she doesn't sit still for long :) Here are some pictures from our fun morning :)




Having a GREAT time!













When we first arrived.......JR in total amazement. Not sure what to think.

It's a BOY!

He was pretty active today during the ultrasound, had a hard time getting pictures. Today I'm 19 weeks. Enjoy the pictures from today.

Can you tell, his little penis :) Cute little foot too :)

Del Mar Fair 2011

Today we went to the Del Mar Fair and JR was excited to go see the animals. It was a fun day! We enjoyed our nice family day out :) Glad we decided to go when they opened before the crowd rolled in and left as the crowd was coming. We actually didn't think we would stay too long, but ended up staying for over 5.5 hours. JR enjoyed watching a lot of the shows, loved all the dancers and the music. We played in kiddie land for a couple hours, lots of fun. No rides, but did all the free stuff in the shade and tented areas :)
Feeding the goat.
Feeding another goat and still not afraid :) We were so proud.

JRs 20 min nap on the drive home, she was out before we even left the parking lot. Long day for her with no nap. Was in bed early though :) Good for Mommy and Daddy :) Way past my bedtime now........good night.

Some park fun!

JR loves the park, actually she just loves to be outside! Here are some pictures to enjoy from the other day!

Happy Be-lated Birthday Monica!

One of our close friends had a birthday yesterday and we had the honor in helping celebrate her 35th birthday! We went out to dinner and had some yummy food with wonderful friends. The Reifer family (Jake, Maria, Estella and Victoria) joined us. Thanks again Maria and Jake, it was really sweet of you to pick up the dinner bill :) After dinner we said goodbye to the Reifer family. Then came back to the casa and played cards ~ fun times :) Kris Monica's husband was able to get off work and join :) And Jessica and Chris came to join also :) Happy Birthday Monica. We love you! We forgot about taking pictures, but we did get a few in.
