Battle of the Salons Final Four!

Yes I'm back again

Do I get to use the excuse that I have TWO kids now so I don't have time?! NO!? ;) Well this time I'm going to be selfish. A few months ago, I was invited to compete in a Battle of the Salons. We were paired with another salon, and we had all day Friday to style five models hair, using a given theme. The salon that earned the most points advanced to the next level. Well we won our first competition and are on our way to the FINAL FOUR. So here are some pictures.

First Laughs!!

Potty Training

We decided to give it a try. Keegan has showed some interest a few times so we thought why not. If it doesn't work, we'll just try again later. Thus begins "naked weekend". He ran around naked all day yesterday. We caught him poo'ing on the rug and rushed him over to the potty. He finished his business in there. YEAH FOR POO POO in the POTTY.

He didn't pee at all in the morning (mental note give this kid more to drink) So off to bed he went with a pull up. When he woke up, the pull up was dry. So we sat him on the potty and didn't get anything. A few minutes later he REALLY wanted to go outside. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.... The a few minutes after that we hear the sound of pee'ing on the carpet. We rush him over to the potty and he finished in the potty!!

Today is our second day. And as I was typing this, I hear Chad yell "UH-OH!" I rush over to Keegan and run him to the potty. Again he finished pee'ing in the potty!! Now we just need to get him to go to the potty BEFORE he starts pee'ing. ;)

Fair Time!!

Recap of last year: Keegan didn't want to touch or go near any of the animals. We tried to get him to ride a pony and get got upset. And he wouldn't go anywhere near any of the rides.

THIS YEAR: He had a BLAST!!

We took him to all the animals. He would go up making the noise the animals makes, and he would pet them on the head. So cute.

He rode the pony! He went up and got a ticket, and got right in line, all by himself. Then he laughed and giggled the whole time.



Then we took him over to the rides. I only bought a few tickets so that we didn't waste the money on an unlimited wristband. We didn't know if he would even want to go on any rides. Boy were we wrong!! There was only one ride that he was tall enough to go on by himself, but he loved it!

4th of July

Yes yes, I am slacking.. AGAIN!! PTHHHHHHH

Here's my chunky monkey ready to go to the parade. The last time we had him weighed, he gained 3 pounds in 4 weeks!


And my handsome little boy looking very grown up.



All ready!! We were in the parade. An organization that Chad volunteers with hands out flags to everyone at the begining of the parade so we helped.



Keegan handing out flags



And uber cute VW bus.



Then off to a friends house for swimming bbq'ing and watching the fireworks. Reece's first time swimming in the pool.


Keegan swimming with just floaties for only the 2nd time.



Reece slept through the fireworks. Keegan LOVED them. He laughed and squealed the whole time. My favorite part was when there was a big one, he'd turn to me to make sure I was watching too. He wasn't too fond of having the sparkler in his hand though.
