Downtime with Daddy

(July 2012)
My girls love their daddy. I know they love me but I'm more of the disciplinarian and they know they can get away with more if they stick with Daddy. That being said, I managed to snag a few pics of Brittyn laying with Joe after church one Sunday. They were supposed to be napping but Joe really isn't the enforcer, the girls rule this house.

Barber family reunion 2012

(July 8, 2012)
Just in case you are wondering, I'm no longer worried about organizing my blog in chronological order, I'm mostly concerned about trying to get through our lives since 2012 has started...so, this post shows us at the Barber Family Reunion in Bristol, FL this July. No pics of me thankfully, it was sweltering hot and I am STILL pregnant so I don't like pics of me. But the girls had an opportunity to ride the train at the Veteran's Memorial Park and even in the heat, Joe was willing to take them. Garet was also a good sport and took Addisyn and Olivia along for the train ride. I love how even though I couldn't get a picture of the girls from the front in all their Independence Day attire, I managed to get pics of them holding hands, which is way sweeter, if you ask me.

Peek a BOO!!!

(July 2012)
Brittyn had decided to spend some time scaring me or giving a fashion show, I'm not sure which. Either way, she's such a doll that I couldn't resist snapping a few pics of her silliness. I don't know where Ryan was, she must have either been asleep or out of the house because she rarely ever misses a photo opportunity.

My models

I love Picture Ladies Photography, have I mentioned that before? Well I do. I also love when they need little models to sign up for photo shoots because thankfully Niki always let's my girls come and play. They were able to come and dress up in summer inspired tutus back in July and I couldn't have been happier with the outcomes. Just goes to show that good photographers CAN get good shots of toddlers, even MY toddlers!!! Thanks Niki, you rock!!!

Adventures in potty training

(8-11-12)
I've made a decision, I'm not going to worry about getting my blog in chronological order, that is just too tough and I am bound to get something out of order from time to time. So I'm just gonna blog as the experiences and photos come in and not worry.

So this weekend, I decided to attempt to potty train Brittyn before the baby boy comes, which is sooner than later I'm afraid. We started out on Saturday just putting panties on her and she wanted nothing else. So we let her wear what she wanted to. She had a couple accidents but overall did fairly well. I decided to stay home Sunday to keep up the momentum but as soon as she got up she asked for a diaper. She had been in pull ups for the night but even that didn't last long, she only wanted a diaper, even after I bought her some panties of her very own.

We tried, don't tell Joe but I just really wasn't into it at the time. But at least she's had some experience so when I try again maybe I can keep it up a little bit longer.
