My walls are complete!!

When we first moved in I started 3 walls with pictures on them. Each child has found their spot on the wall at age 3 months and 1 year. It was very nice to be able to finish off my walls tonight with Madison's pictures! So happy she is 1!

Madison turns 1!

Madison came into our arms a year ago. It has been fun to have a little girl and to see the differences between her and the boys. She was delighted to get blocks, toddler crayons, an Elmo doll and a baby doll. She promptly gave Elmo and the baby doll kisses. Then she started to use her walker and take her first steps with a walker as she pushes it all over the house. She had a great celebration with a cake designed by her brothers and decorated by them as well!

Fishing

Happy 4th of July

We went to the local Harrisville Day Parade. It was complete with core trucks, police cars, army vehicles, and just a couple tractors (50). We had a good time with friends hanging out and enjoyed the food afterwards!

The beach

We traveled to Ocean City, NJ for the past week. We enjoyed going with family- aunt Erin, aunt Cindy, aunt Ann and uncle Dave, along with cousins Andrew, Dan, and James.

It was the first time at the beach for all of the kids, and the first Atlantic Ocean experience for Joe. We enjoyed days at the beach with sandcastles, burying people, attempting boogie boarding, jumping waves, and finding crabs!

We often went back after a nap for more fun. We enjoyed the playground close by as well. We also went on a pirate cruise to find pirate treasure and defeat stinky Pete! We enjoyed a night of Manco & Manco pizza followed by Kohr bros custard! So much that we went back for a second night!

The boys were ready to come home and Eli kept asking to go home to "fennsylvania". Luke and graham bought hermit crabs and Eli got a Brobie backpack.

While holding the hermit crab graham started to scream. The hermit crab had pinched his finger and wouldn't let go. Luckily we had read the instructions and put his finger under warm water and the crab let go!

Potty training #3

Eli for probably the last month has sometimes been telling us when he has to go #2 and we would sit on the potty and sometimes be successful but it was more often than not, he had already gone in his diaper and we missed it. He would tell us when he was wet, but never to go potty.

After getting thru some busy weeks I thought this weekend was pretty quiet And I would have time to potty train him. So on Wednesday I started in the morning with underwear. He had one accident and the. Went once before I had to leave for work. He had 2 more accidents that day, but since that time he has been dry-day and night. Telling us he has to go potty even when outside or at church!

So this has been my easiest potty training to date and I did nothing! We have been rewarding him with m&m's when he goes but will go to the store for his potty training toy on Tuesday. He is also very excited to get to go fishing with Daddy on the boat!
