Mylee wants to use the Potty

I am such a horrible blogger....does anyone ever check this anymore? Well this is what Mylee has been up to-


So this past week I was getting things ready for a yard sale so I pulled out a lot of stuff from storage and one thing I pulled out was Austin's old potty chair. Mylee pointed to it and asked for it. I put it on the ground and she sat on it. So I sweetly told her no you have to have your diaper off if you want to use it. So I stripped her down and she sat on it, she was extremely happy. Since she was showing interest I thought I would she what she would do. So I put the potty in the bathroom sat her down on it and tried to explain things to her....of course only being 21 months old she just smiled and had no clue what I was saying - or so I thought. After about a half hour of getting on and off the potty I figured she just was playing so I put a pair of Austin's underwear on her and let her enjoy the potty chair. I had her sit on it every 15-20 mins and finally she did it! She went pee in her potty! I was so excited and VERY surprised. She was so obsessed with the chair she probably spent 2 hours in the bathroom.
That night I hid her potty chair (she has yet to ask for it) I was to busy with work and getting a yard sale together I didn't have the time to devote to training like Mylee needed. I know I am horrible but she is only 21-months right now. I think I will be pulling the chair back out next week and actually see what she will do.
Of course I snapped a few pictures of my baby girl...who is turning into a big girl on me. :(

I Heart My Kids

I don't know if anyone even read this anymore, lol. I am a horrible blogger. I am going to blame it on being busy with my photography but that's only the start, my sweet kiddos keep my quite occupied as well.

I thought I would jump on here really quick and post some updated pictures I took of the kids last month. I really want to make a wall collage out of these but as you can tell I am occupied with many other things. I know I need to get my priorities straight because I LOVE these pictures!

Winter Blues....

I have been the worst blogger lately. I still have stuff from October to post (plus Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Vacation)...will I ever get around to posting them? Who knows. I am going to blame this lack of motivation on the "winter blues" I am dealing with. Going to California and spending 2 weeks in the sun was wonderful...and now that the vacation is over and we are back in the cold, I haven't felt like doing much of anything. January is kind of a depressing month (it is even worse as I get closer to 30). I am having a hard time getting anything done. Even going back to work is a struggle for me (even though I love what I do and I enjoy my photography). Even my kids are cranky! I wish it was warm so I could send them outside to play, and maybe I could have a clean house - for at least 10 minutes!

I think my attitude and depression would melt about if that darn SUN would shine (and the snow would vanish). I could do really well on the island of Kauai!

Am I the only one who feels this way?

SPRING PLEASE COME QUICK!
