potty time

Three days after Berklee got her potty she used it!!

She hasn't since used it so I'm not claiming her to be potty trained but she woke up dry, I asked if she wanted to go pee on the potty she said yes and she did it! I'm not ready to start potty training, I want to get rid of the binky first, but if she wakes up dry or says yes when I ask her if she wants to use it then you betcha I'm gonna have her use it! Love my little girl!

(She'll probably kill me one day for posting this picture)

Merry Christmas

I love Christmas!

I love Christmas even more with a kid! We were so lucky to be able to see both our families on Christmas but most of all we were lucky to have our own Christmas morning at home just the three of us.

I knew Berklee is still young enough to not really get Christmas so we didn't want to go overboard with presents but it is just so dang fun shopping for toys! But to be honest I think her favorite present wasn't a toy.. it was her potty! Yes, this girl is obsessed with a potty.

After church, which it was so wonderful to have Christmas land on Sunday this year so we could go to church and remember the real meaning of Christmas, we headed up to Heber to have brunch and Christmas with the Palmers. I think it was about 50 degrees in Heber... ON Christmas! It was heaven. Berklee was spoiled and got some fun things as did me and Jesse.

We let the kiddos nap and the adults played some sweet Rock Band! Boy have I missed that game.

We headed down to my parents later that night for scones and presents for the grandkids. My parents have started a tradition (this year) that we have our adult Christmas party earlier in the week (no kids) so we are able to have a nice dinner, games and presents with no interruptions. And may I just say I love this new tradition. Sadly, I have no pictures from that night but our dinner was yummy and we got a much needed game of CRUD in. Pretty sure some of us left with bruises that night! :)

Berklee loved being with her cousins on Christmas and couldn't get enough of the wrapping paper with her cousin Whitney. These kids are going to be the best of friends.

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

zoo lights

This was our first year going to zoo lights and we will

definitely be going back next year!

There were so many more kid friendly lights, less people and there were animals to see.

Berklee loved it! And honestly.. so did I!

Merry Christmas!

Time needs to slllooowww down!

When did my baby turn into a toddler?

A cute, spunky, sassy, full of energy toddler?

I can't even begin to describe how much I love being a mom!

This girl is my life!

You know that show 19 kids and counting (well now 20). I can totally see how that woman could have 20 kids. Not that I'm going to do that. But to have 20 kids to love as much as I love my one little girl is amazing! I'm so grateful for my Heavenly Father for giving me such a wonderful gift of being a mom.
