Girls day out....and Dalan....and Jameson!

A day at Gardner Village! It was surely a day of fun for the kids, but frazzleness for the mom's! Atleast I got some fun pictures of the kids!

So a little bit of this...yep the never ending strippin!



Mixed with a little bit of this....yep many rolls of duct tape!



= Some Spider Man action on a cute little bum...



Let's not forget the headband, which is Dalan's favortie accessory!



Dalan's potty chart! He could care less about the stickers, he just wants the skittles and M&M's!





I guess I need to come to the realization that when my two year old has NO desire to wear diapers...and WANTS to use the potty...that I need to suck it up and do the potty training thing, (which I have been dreading ever since I potty trained my last one!) I thought it was the worse part of parenting, until I had a self-taught on my hands! After stripping for all these months, and many rolls of duct tape, I guess the day came when he would now be a BIG BOY! Horray for Dalan. It was a great weekend and being that it was General Conference, we were home bound and bummin around! We turned our day into a Conference Potty-Party! Capri Suns, popsicles, milk, water, juice, cookies, candy, skittles, M&M's, and success! I am not going to lie, we had our fair share of accidents BUT he is on his way and now I can return the $40 box of diapers I just bought at Costco!!!!

Have you ever...

Have you ever gotten in the shower....and only shaved one leg?

Have you ever NOT wanted to roll out of bed??

Have you ever just wanted to read Stefenie Meyer's books in one sitting without having to parent and get things done???

Have you ever had a to-do list that is never ending...and keeps growing????

Have you ever felt like Summer went by so dang fast?????

Have you ever clicked on blog links that you just liked the name of....and have no idea who they are, just that they are a friend of a friend...

Have you ever?????

What do you celebrate?

All of us girls!



Before....the rain came pooring down!!



Shelley & Kena



The after....the rain never did give up!




Macie and I had a girls day out with my friend Shelley and her little girl Kena! We did a 5K walk/stroll on this beautiful rainy day! This is an annual even here in Boise to celebrate Women...hence it is girl power and only women may participate! I totally met Marty & Amy from season 3 of The Biggest Loser...who lost a combined weight of 252 pounds and are now married...and I also saw from a distance Jared from Subway! You all know who I am talking about. It was quite an event and even though it was cold and wet....it was fun to be outside and celebrate!

Jameson Craig Shepherd!

Look who finally arrived...a day before the scheduled induction! We are so thrilled to have HIM here...and are loving that we have another boy in the family! Now things are all evened out in the cousin world anyway!

Amber is doing great, just a little sore in some areas! Read her blog for details on this little babers! Congratulations big sista!
