Megan's Birthday/Valentine's Day!

So I just turned 25 which I cannot believe I am actually 25 years old! I still feel like I'm 19(although when I look in the mirror I am reminded that after 2 kids I don't have my 19 yr. old body!) So Adam was so wonderful we got a baby sitter which we never do and we went to the golf course here on base and hit a bucket of balls and pitched and putted. It was so fun especially because I pitch/put better then him. Then he took me out to BJ'S. It was our first time there and we loved it. It was just a fun date. It's always nice to go out just the two of us. Adalyn was so funny she kept asking "is it my birthday?" I had to keep reminding her that her birthday isn't until march. She was so excited to help Adam make my cake and help me blow out the candles!


For Valentine's Day we got a babysitter and went with 2 other couples down to Roseville to a restaurant called Lucille's. It's a bbq place which I hate bbq but I knew Adam would love it. We really enjoyed going out with friends and enjoying a good meal. Even I loved what I got, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and fries. They had the best biscuits with apple butter, and at the end of your meal they give you a warm towel to clean off with. It was a great Valentines Day! We forgot to take any pictures though.

Officially a BIG Girl!!

So when we were in Oregon over Christmas break Ellie got into the bad habbit of only falling asleep with me rocking her or laying with her. She just didn't like sleeping somewhere new and so we dealt with it. Well when we got back home it was the same thing. She wanted me to rock her to sleep or worse lay in our bed with me until she fell asleep. Then it became that she also refused to get into her crib. So she started sleeping with us. Which I said I would NEVER let a child do! Needless to say it has been a challenge. So in mid January I told Adam she obviously doesn't want to be in her crib so lets set up the toddler bed. She loves it and will atleast stay in it. But unfortunately we haven't broken the habbit of me rocking her to sleep. Hopefully we can fix that soon. But for now she thinks she is such a big girl for sleeping in a toddler bed.

Riding Bikes!

As soon as we got back from Oregon it started getting really warm here. It was so weird that is was early January and 65 degrees outside. So the girls really enjoyed riding there bikes and scooters. They are getting so big I can't believe it!

Potty Training!! Yikes!

So on Jan. 7th Ellie kept telling me that she needed to go "pee pee" I didn't want to put her on the potty thinking she would just play around but I put her on anyways not thinking she wouldn't do anything and she totally pooped!! We were so excited. Now everyday she tells me when she wants to go "pee pee" or "poo poo" I can't believe she is trying to potty train herself. She does like to tell me now all the time that she has to go and a lot of time she doesn't really have to. But most days she does really well. We are just letting her have fun right now, not really trying to make her go if she doesn't want to. We'll see maybe she could be out of diapers by her 2nd birthday! That would be wonderful!!

Happy New Year's!!

So for the rest of our vacation my mom took all the kids and mom's to McDonald's for lunch.(thanks Mom!) The kids loved to run around and play and after that we went swimming at Woodburn's Aquatic center. The boys met us there to take the kids in the water. They all loved swimming and it was the first time Adalyn didn't hesitate to get into the water. Ellie is always ready to jump in. We even got Ellie to go down a big slide with Adam and she kept crying to go again and again. Of course after that Adalyn wanted to go. They had so much fun. On New Year's Eve we made lot's of food and yummy treats and played games waiting for midnight. It was a really fun night just hanging out with my whole family. We loved being home and spending time with everyone and the kids loved running around playing with and getting to know there cousins. We left on the 1st to start driving back home. It only took us 8 1/2 hours and the kids slept for most of it! It was a wonderful trip.
