A Little Bribery Goes A Long Way


She finally did it! That's right, Miss Hannah is 100% potty trained. It has been a LONG ordeal for us, and it is so nice to finally be done. She has inherited a combination of mine and russ's stubborness, so I was seriously considering the possibility that she may be in diapers FOREVER. But, after a lot of good advice from my SIL's and mom, we are now diaper free at our house! (Well, that's not entirely true...Emma still uses her fair share and then some). I think the trick that finally worked was the potty chart I made for her, and some really good bribes. Hannah will soon be the owner a new, nice and shiny bike!


Russ likes to scare me with his little tricks. Crazy as it both of the girls absolutely LOVE doing this with their dad. It still gives me a heart attack every time. And this trick isn't even the worst of them...

For some reason I can't this pic to turn. Any ideas? But I just wanted to show you all just how much Emma drools. It's ridiculous. I can't keep her clothes dry for anything. Hannah was bad, but this is too much!

Emma is such a happy baby, and this is what she does whenever her Dad pays attention to her. She is starting to giggle and I love it!
We had a fun labor day pizza picnic at the park. If you haven't already noticed, Hannah acts like her dad... a lot.

They decided to go and chase some squirrels while we were there. I should have taken a video of this. Hannah thought it was the funniest thing EVER. She couldn't stop giggling.
She found some "nuts" lying around and was trying desperately to give one to one of the squirrels. Surprisingly, they weren't convinced to come and check them out.
These last two pics are just to prove to you how much my girls' love their dad. I have said it a million times, but they are total daddy's girls. I don't mind too much :)

What a fun day! You guys are so cute!! Parker drooled so much as a baby, and he still does. It is actually pretty annoying because he is still wearing bibs. When we go out I usually pack a couple of extra shirts, and the bibs stay home. Does the drooling ever stop?
