Disney on Ice and the Potty

Last weekend, Kristin was able to take Leslie and Kenna to Disney on Ice with her mom, her brother and his two kids. The cool part was that until the day before, none of the kids knew anything about it. So the moment of revelation was quite a big deal.


Once there, the kids truly loved it, Leslie even told Kristin that "This is the BEST day of my life!" Peter Pan and the Princesses were big hits with all.





In the midst of this, Kenna was still potty training. Being that she is stubborn, much her mother and I, this was huge that she was actually committing to it. During this trip, she had no accidents! When Kristin told her how proud we were of her- Kenna responded with, "Welcome to my world!"

Today we helped out with Big Event, which is a service project A&M does around town. This was the second year our church, the Gate helped out, and we brought the kids again this year. We really believe that they need to learn to be servants, and besides they love raking leaves (mainly so they can jump in the piles, but still.)




So we have had a busy week here, and today Kenna gets her halfway-there potty prize. Ah, the joys of parenthood.

Howdy all!

This is the new site for all the family info of Chad, Kristin, Leslie and Kenna. Here we will regale you with tales of the kids, endeavors of the parents, and if we can figure it all out, pictures.

Lately, Kristin has been busily working at potty training Kenna, who is 3.5 and stubborn. Day one- disaster. Day two- MUCH better. Kenna made it to the potty several times, even informing Kristin of her need to do so. The big problem on Day two was that Kenna had an accident, but didn't tell anyone, including Leslie, who informed Kristin, "Kenna leaked, and I sat in it." Other than that, its been good.

Kristin also started selling Arbonne back in January, and has been 'partying' like crazy and doing an awesome job. She loves it, and that makes us all happy.

Leslie (5.5) has been in gymnastics since the fall. Her days are now spent in headstands and cartwheels, and furniture is often a springboard or trampoline.

Chad has been blogging over on Bored of Lesser Things- hence the need for this blog. He has also begun the process of getting his first book, Unfinished, published. It is a slow process. He also spent a week working on a new patio to replace the mud pit we have 'enjoyed' for the last year or so. Pictures....Now.




That's our lives at the moment, more to come.
