Oh The Places You Will Go!

Well, our summer has gotten off to a stellar start!  Ian is potty trained!  Woohoo!  It just happened one day.  One afternoon Ian decided to sit on the potty and take care of his business, a 10-200 (a Smokey and the Bandit reference for those who do not know).  I could not be happier.  He now wears big boy underwear all day.  We still put him in a pull-up for nighttime sleeping.  However, since he does not have accidents during naptime and most of the time his pull-up is dry in the mornings, we will be putting him in underwear for nighttime sleeping soon. 

There are tons of pictures I have not posted yet.  This will be my attempt to get them out.  There will many more to come. 

First, these are from our trip to Wild Animal Safari back in April (yes, April).

The following pictures are from our trip to Savannah during Spring Break.

The following are pictures of Ian in his helper goggles. 

These are of the video game player!

Portraits at 3 Years Old

Here are Ian's 3 year portraits.  We haven't decided which ones to get a frame.  I think I want them all!

My Friends!

It is Ian's birthday party.  Ian and I are opening cards and gifts.  We open the first card.  It is a cute outer space card.  Quite appropriate for my son.  We open the next gift and card.  Wow, it is the same card.  Now people are whispering and giggling.  Before we know it, there are five cards, all identical, purchased at different Targets at different times.  And it was not planned!  Needless to say, I think my friends know my son very well!   Thanks Jaime, Suzy, Amy/Jeff, Kacey/Ira, and Leslie! 

Mark's cousin James sent Ian a Happy Birthday message through YouTube.  We decided to send James one back. His birthday was 4 days later. 

Here is James' message to Ian. 




Here is Ian's message to James. 

He is three!

Ian turned 3 years old Saturday.  We had a nice turn out of company.  We missed having Grandma and cousins Shelby, Jake, and Addison.  The weather was beautiful.  And he was in perfect form for the party.  Here are the pictures and a little video from the big event.
