Where in the world did u go on your summer vacation?

No excuses for the boys to tell there teachers at MMO they have plenty of favorite places they have been this summer....the boys were spoiled. The boys and I had a lot of fun traveling this summer...due to mostly scotts business trips. We were tagalongs..and went to the pool everyday and had fun.

Conner's first airplane ride to Florida in June. Visited with my BF Jess and her two cute boys. It was Hot...but fun! On the last day we got free tickets to Disney thanks to Scotts friend. We were literally home for a week and ...
Then we took a road trip to MO for a few days in July. While in Branson Conner learned to swim on his own (with swimmies of course)..He is a Fish! We stayed in Branson, visited with great friends, and then spent an extra night at my Aunt Susan's house. The boys loved my Aunts house...Tyler loved the apple pie...and conner loved all the fruits and veggies he could eat all day and night. We stayed up till almost midnight watching the fireworks in there backyard! Thank you to the neighbors of Ozark July 4th was memorable.
The boys are TAN with white bottoms...LOL!

In August getting ready for another new road trip adventure to Wisconsin for a family reunion with the Pongratz side and then hoping for another road trip adventure to Jersey again to visit Grandpa Youngling and family...

I literally have over 500 pics to sort thru in these trips alone.
Posting Pics soon....I promise.

Conner is in a Big Boy Bed!

Over Spring break...Conner climbed out of his crib twice! So it was time to transition him to a big boy bed. I can't believe it already. Time is flying bye! Now both boys are in twin beds! Time to take the crib down....for awhile anyways! Tyler in his bed with out rails...first night put a body pillow just in case he rolled over...

Today we hit a milestone....

This week we really focused on potty training. Tyler has been wearing underwear all week ...Yeah. We have had only a few accidents. But I am so proud of Tyler he finally gets it! To be honest I was very nervous sending him to school today in underwear. But he did it...stayed dry and NO Accidents. GO Tyler...he is a big boy now! And is very excited about it too. Already...Tyler is talking about going to summer camp this year because he is a big boy! And he wants the latest Thomas video now because he's working the reward system!
I have some pretty gross potty photos but I won't post them!
Last week we had a couple of warm days and Scott put the new bike together...here is a cute video of Tyler riding his big boy bike for the first time.

Lets Go Sledding!

Get your own

This was a blast! Mon we took the boys sledding after Tyler got out from School at the church. I forgot how much fun it is to go sleigh riding! We lasted out there for awhile until a storm came in out of no where...you can tell on the last pics behind us the sky was black...And then came the wind and snow! This was so much fun and of course the boys love to be outside!
