The Month of September

Well I guess I am falling behind with blogging. I am having a hard time managing my time lately-there never seems to be enough! This month we have done lots of arts and crafts in an attempt to divert Olivia's attention from the fact that every other child in her church class started school this year. She barely missed the deadline and was not happy about that.

Katelyn is now fully Potty Trained and we are all very proud of her. During the process of potty training I noticed some funny things that I will share more so for her than anyone else. She always said she could hear the pee pee coming. And she would cup her ear as if to listen for it and then run to the bathroom. Each time she poohs she attributes some type of animal to each one. My favorite was "Look Mom a family of snails". And there were others a froggy, turtle, snakes. And then she would say, every time, bye by pooh pooh see you tomorrow. I know you are all thinking why is she talking about pooh. But this is a great milestone in life. To be able to go to the toilet yourself and take care of business. And I just want to remember how silly my sweet little Kate is and how proud she is of her new accomplishment.
We had the opportunity to take a trip to Las Vegas. Jon's childhood friend invited us to meet them in Vegas. We stayed in their timeshare with them. I am so sad I didn't get any pics of them together :( The girls really loved playing with Mia.
We did lots of swimming

and checked out the Dolphins at the Mirage.

The girls and Jack really enjoyed feeding the hordes of pigeons their breakfast. Who knew pigeons ate bacon?

This is how Jackson slept best the first night-unfortunately for me!

We also went to the Fair this month. Olivia really liked checking out the little chicks. She even got to see one that was just hatched. Kate really liked the little bunnies. Jackson thought the sheep were pretty funny when the jumped on the fence. The pigs also caught his attention. Overall all the animals were great!! When aren't they! The girls also enjoyed climbing up into the firetruck and talking with the firemen. Olivia being a little "sheepish"
