Yay poopy and pee pee in the potty! Wes has starting to say them and grab his diaper. Most of the time it seems to be because his already done it. Still progress though. He's only 2 though so I'm not getting my hopes up. It's was a long process with the other two. If we can go through less diapers though that's an improvement.

Kindle time in the tent on the deck. The kids want to sleep out tonight but it's supposed to get down to 55. I told them we could do it middle of the week when it's back up in the 70s. Why be chilly in the middle of summer.

The kids wanted to do kindle time in the tent tonight. They say they're sleeping out there till I go to bed and can come out but I'm betting once it gets dark they'll be in.

The kids playing at Dan and Maggie's last night. We had a BBQ and the kids chased lighting bugs.

Playing around in the new tent Grace and I bought today. I also bought a couple of queen air mattresses. Now all I have to do is convince Ray to go camping. We mostly bought it as another outdoor play place for the kids. Right now it is in the yard next to the trampoline because it only stays up by being staked. I think it might live on the deck though, Ray said we should be able to screw it down, that way I can make sure the kids don't trash it by leaving the windows and doors open, etc.

Opening day!

Day out.

We got Wes his own little seat that fits on the the regular toilet and he peed first time using it!

Wes is now using a just a booster seat at the table. No more highchair!

After Sonic slushies and a nap they're ready for a stuffed animal party.

We took the kids kayaking on Creve Coeur Lake today!

Wes's 2nd birthday party!

Happy 2nd birthday Wes!

Yay! The deck is finished and Ray got the baby gate up tonight so Wes can walk around with the rest of us. He'll be happy and safe.

Ray finished two more sections of the deck and the new post lights came in. The end caps should be here soon. It will be done before we know it. It's looking great!

Ray and I took the kids out in the back yard to chase their first fireflies tonight. They loved it!
