Potty Training with a Busy Schedule

So people used to say that kids will potty train "when they're ready."  Those people never met Mason.  After some pushing. ..he's finally started to get it.  He expressed just a tad bit of interest the day after we returned from vacation.  The problem was that we had two girls spending the night on Tuesday, were in Etown the 3rd, 4th and 5th and well...he wasn't that into it.  We are getting there though!  Here are pictures at the pool when Sydney and Addison spent the night and the kids enjoying fireworks in the neighborhood on the 4th.

Great Time in Gulf Shores!

At approximately 1:45 in the morning on Saturday, June 21st, we packed our sleeping kids up and headed to Gulf Shores for a relaxing seven nights on the beach.  We rented a two-bedroom condo right on the beach at the Surfside.   This was our first trip, just the five of us.  We had a great time.  The weather was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better ride down and home.  The girls met two little girls they played with all week, Autumn and Bella.  Our agenda was to wake up, drink our coffee, may be go run, pack lunches and head to the beach.  We ate out at the local seafood restaurants every night but one and hit The Track which the kids loved.   Our favorite time was at The Hangout.   The kids had a blast eating, playing in the bubble machine and posing for some cool pics.
