Spidey, KaTs & Cousins

Watch Grace perform on the piano at Kittrell's Talent Show on Monday, May20th. She was the only student to play an instrument. I know she was nervous but she did very well. Click here.

We have spent the week having a lot of fun at our house. Ryan wants to put on (and then takes off) Luke's Capt America outfit like a million times a day. But he says he's Spider Man. I wish he would let me take a picture of him - he stands with his hands on his hips and his chest puffed out. Super cute! :)


These are our kittens Thomas (the gray) and Kallie (the calico). They are a new learning challenge for our family. We love having them and watching their antics. I'm glad we have two so they can play together - when the children finally put them down!

Today we went to Des Moines to celebrate my nephew Devin's graduation from High School. Before his grad party, we gathered all the cousins and got their pictures taken. Surprisingly we got the best picture taken on the very first shot - not bad for half of the group being 4 and under! Grace & Audrey were very excited to see their cousin Kaylea.

Ryan, Sofia & Luke watching a movie at the party.
 The Graduate, Devin Michael Pickering, graduating Sunday May 26th and leaving for Basic on Tuesday, May 28th.
 And me and my cousin Theresa Caraccio Summers. We are the youngest & oldest girls on the Caraccio side of my family.

Potty Training in 3 days

Potty training sucks! Ryan and I have been working on potty training for 3 days. After accident and accident, I decided I was done. I was starting to get really frustrated and it wasn't really productive. So back into a diaper he went, all the of the potty stuff was packed & put away. Except for the potty chair - I figured he could use it to encourage future potty training time.

So about an hour later he comes and says, "I poop-ed." Normally means he's wet. So I took off his diaper and he immediately went over to the little chair and sat down. Imagine my great surprise when he actually starts pooping - in the TOILET! Yeah, gross but WAHOO!!! Gonna stay in the diapers for now but will continue to encourage the use of the potty.

The boys cuddling last night. So cute. Love these guys!
