Potty Time

As my cousin has been working with her 16 month old on potty training, I decided it might be time for our 18 month old! So, I bought a potty ring for the toilet. It just sits on the regular toilet rather than having a separate potty chair. Buddy has pooped on it once and went pee on it twice already! Yeah for potty training! I'm sure he won't poop or pee on it again until he is 3, but at least we have a little success right now. I tried to get him to pee this morning on it, but I think he had already went pee by the time I got him out of bed!

Below is a pic from the weekend. He got a haircut this weekend too, and he looks like his uncle Howard and cousin Andy (at least we think so)!

First Day of School

Today is the first day of school. Besides the cruddy weather, we have started off without a hitch!! No major issues yet, but I'm sure some will arise by the end of the day!! I am ready to get this year started!

Happy Birthday to my cousin, T-man!!

Last Vacation Photos

Here are some last pictures from our vacation. We rented a pedal car to ride around Lake Estes.

Buddy enjoyed his ride in the front basket!

Mommy has to go back to work this week! :-( However, Buddy is probably happy to have some playmates, as he seems to be getting bored at our house!!

More Vacation Photos

More from our vacation...

Here are some elk in Rocky Mountain National Park. We probably saw over 200 elk while driving through the park.

This is us in front of the park sign. We traveled on the famous Fall River road (which is only open June-September) and Trail Ridge road.

Here is our cabin in Estes Park. It is a cute place, and I would definitely like to come back some day. Everything is very clean and nice. The weather has been great, cool in the morning and evening. It has been in the 70's during the day.

This is right outside of our cabin. There are so many hummingbirds. They drank this entire feeder in one afternoon. They fill the feeders up every morning!

Our Vacation....so far

We have been enjoying beautiful Colorado! Buddy has gotten to ride bumper boats, feed chipmunks, visit the Denver zoo, and meet family members!

We rode this CRAZY aerial tram thing in Estes Park. We rode in these little red tram cars all the way to the top, SCARY! Here is us at the top with the mountains in the background.

Also at the top, we got to feed chipmunks. You can buy peanuts by the bagful, and everyone feeds them. They are so tame, they will eat out of your hand, as you see here!

Here are Mommy and Buddy at the Denver zoo. We saw lots of neat animals and watched a wildlife show!

We drove to the top of Mt. Evans and saw some wild goats. These weren't as tame as the chipmunks! Check out the mountains in the back of the picture!

Here is our Rocky Mountain refrigerator. Too bad these new sippy cups didn't last. We had to revert to the old ones. Buddy went for 24 hours without a wet diaper, and Mommy and Daddy got nervous. He just doesn't like to drink out of these!

Another picture of us at the top of Mt. Evans. As for the rest of our trip, we plan on going to Rocky Mountain National Park, downtown Estes Park, and back to Daddy's great aunt/uncles before we head home!
