Oh Canada!!!!

Zach had a race in Canada this past weekend so I got to tag along. It was a much needed weekend away from the kids. My Mom/Bammie offered to watch the kids, so of course I took her up on the offer.
Although it was a work weekend for Zach we still managed to spend some great quality time together. We laughed and talked so much I don't think we stopped all weekend!!! It was so nice to have a conversation without being interrupted. And to top the weekend off Zach's riders got 1st and 2nd and won the Championship!! We are already planning out next weekend get away!!!

Terrible Two's

We have hit the terrible two's!! Cassidy loves to argue with me over what she wants to wear. She now wants to choose her outfit for the day -- which typically is a disaster. I have learned quickly to pick your battles. So on this day  -- can you tell who won??   Yes, this is how we left the house.  Cassidy in her Dora PJ top and a pair of shorts. Luckily we were only going to see her Daddy and Bammie at work.

I can't help but laugh everytime I look at this picture. She is so proud of herself!!

Cassidy's Artwork!!!

Cassidy has been very busy at the sitter's house and Sunday School. doing crafts, which she enjoys so much.  Here are a few of her art projects.  

Potty Training!!!

We are officially in full potty training mode! We have actually had a few days wearing only panties with no accidents. It's all moving a bit too fast for me I'm not ready for my little girl to be a BIG girl yet.
So, of course when she goes potty you have to have a party. To Cassidy every party needs to have cake!  Here are some photos of our Dora cake and  Tea Party. Cheers to Cassidy and her potty training!

Naturally she sticks her fingers in it!!!

Cassidy LOVES cake -- actually, she loves FROSTING!


CHEESE

I'm a BIG girl!!!

A White House Update

Sorry posting has been so slow, but life is so, so busy. While Cassidy's playing with her playdough and Gavin's in the swing, I'll try and give you a quick update on our family.

Zach has been traveling every weekend. He just got back from Daytona where his team won again! His team is doing AWESOME. We are so proud of him!!

Our little man Gavin is going like a weed!! He gets cuter and cuter by the day. He is so in love with his sister. He can watch her all day and be so content. The best news of all is that Gavin has slept 11 hours straight the last 2 nights. Now I hope that I don't break the streak by talking about it.  Let me tell you -- Zach and I L O V E sleep!   We both actually woke up before the kids this morning.  I love it. 

Cassidy is talking so much you can actually carry on a conversation with her. She is so much fun. Potty training is coming along slowly but we have managed to get her to go potty on the toilet every morning!  We start the day out with good intentions and then things go crazy and potty training gets put on the back burner.  She will sometimes tell me she needs to potty, but it's a hit or miss. We will work harder on the potty training when it gets closer to summer. Cassidy is having a blast at the sitter's house playing with her friends (pictures below are taken at the sitter's house)

And as for me, I'm back at work and am actually really enjoying it.  I think being back at work and having responsibilities outside of our home make me a better mom and wife.   It's nice to have a few hours away from the kids and then to see their smiles when I pick them up -- well, there might not be anything better! 

So there you have it a quick update from the White house. I'll try to update more frequently now that I'm trying to get into a routine. 

Sweet!!!

Cassidy and her friends Tommy and Christian

Watch out Lo Lo!!! Cassidy is already practicing!!!
