Going Potty like a big girl

We are attempting to potty train Alli for the 2nd time. She was almost fully potty trained before Malari arrived, but then regressed...so we are trying again. Here she is showing off her stickers becasue so far today she has gone potty on the big girl potty twice...

Alli got a Tattoo!!!!

There is a historic site just outside of Pleasant Plains called Clayville that has been shut down for several years. Well the Pleasant Plains Historical Society purchased Clayville recently and have been doing a wonderful job of cleaning it up. Over Labor day weekend they held a car show and had other activities there as well such as crafts, there was a person with really neat old guns, plus lots of food and some activities for the kids. Well, here are a few pics of Alli getting her 1st Tattoo. It took us what seemed like forever to pick it out, but I guess that's a good thing, tattoo's are a big decision. She ended up with Blue from Blue's Clues. She wasn't real sure about the lady putting it on, but after it was over she had to show EVERYONE her puppy, LOL. Malari decided that she didn't want a tattoo, she would sleep instead.

A Do it yourself family photo

We wanted a picture of the 4 of us, since the only picture we had of the 4 of us was the day Malari was born...so here is what we got when we attempted to take a family picture by ourselves...at least 1 turned out ok =)

Putting up the swing...

Aaron and I stoped at a re-sale shop one day and bought the girls a new to them swing. Here are a few pictures of Aaron and Alli putting up the swing while Malari & I supervised. Malari & I agree that they did a nice job. Both girls just love it.

We took the girls to the park...

I took the girls into town one day during the week and we met up with Aaron for lunch. We had a sack lunch at the park and then took Alli over to play on the playground equipment. She had a blast, while Malari slept through it all, lol

Just a few more misc pics.

I find that now that I am home with the girls I don't take nearly as many pics of them as when I wasn't at home...I wonder why that is? I guess because I see them all the time. Anyway, here are just a few more misc. pics we took one night.
