Potty Training

Bryce is doing amazing with potty training, but I guess it helps having Parker show him the ropes--he is a great role model when it comes to this! We are having some issues with pooping....and I have cleaned up a few too many messes off my floor, but it happens! Yesterday I made him sit on the potty for a good 10 minutes because he had me up every minute or two telling me he had to poo, but he still wouldn't go :( He was actually mad, which is why the he covered his face, haha.

Cameron and Kyla turn 3!

For Cameron and Kyla's birthday the Sajko clan (minus Kristy and Stephan because they were busy moving into the new house!) headed down to Croatan for the day. Everyone had soooo much fun! We really lost track of time and finally pulled them off the beach at 2pm...we had been there since right after 9am :)

Busch Gardens!

The boys were soooo excited to go to Busch Gardens yesterday! It was the perfect day....nice and overcast so we didn't get toooo extremely hot. They rode lots of rides--I was actually surprised at how many things Bryce was able to ride, as long as we accompanied him. He even rode the roller coaster that was in the Sesame Street area---and giggled while riding it! Meanwhile, Parker screamed bloody murder! Parker was all about the sky buckets, but when we got in he freaked for a few seconds, and then was like, "i'm okay, I'm okay." There were several rides that they just stayed on and rode several times :) Bryce even napped for a bit in the stroller, and was good to go when he woke up :) Parker is already asking when we can go back! The best part is that Grandma and Pawpaw bought passes too, that way we can escape and ride a few coasters while they watch the kids :) Even though we had four adults, no one would ride the Griffon with me, so I went it alone :) The two 90-degree drops were nuts, but it was fun!!

Cowboy Parker

Grandma found daddy's old boots in the attic and Parker found daddy's straw hat in the garage.....he was out front helping daddy with yard work and riding his four-wheeler....everyone that drove by got a big kick out of him :) He is so adorable!

Soccer is over....

On Friday night Parker's soccer team had their end of the season party and all the kids got trophies :) Coach said something nice about all of them, and they were all soooo proud! Saturday morning was our last game, and we wrapped up the season by taking down the opposing team, haha.....

Bridgewater

We traveled to Bridgewater Saturday morning for a party at Jason and Whitney's house. The ride up was not fun with Parker asking every few minutes when we would be in Bridgewater. According to mom, that is called payback, haha. We all had such a good time. The kids had a blast between the blow up pool, the swing set, the sand box and the trampoline. The adults definitely enjoyed the trampoline as well! Pappy and Guy took Bryce down to the fairgrounds where they were having some kind of truck show, so Bryce got to see lots of cool stuff. Of course all the kids are fascinated by all the horse and buggies they saw as well. Bryce passed out early on Saturday evening because he skipped his nap, but the other kids were going stong until 10pm! I snuck into Harrisonburg for a few hours to meet up with my bestest, which was so nice! Sunday morning the kids were outside playing pretty early and then we took a little walk to the river and lets the kids throw rocks and get wet. After lunch we got on the road. Bryce was asleep before we got to the interstate and Parker was asleep soon after! It was a pretty quiet ride home :) All-in-all, it was a great weekend. Parker didn't want to come home!

Brodie and Tristan

Last Tuesday the Altman family moved to Las Vegas--very bittersweet! Parker's best bud Brodie came by to hang for a little while and say "bye". They definitely enjoy each other, and surely did not want the visit to end. Of course Bryce and Tristan don't really understand, but they had fun taking pictures :) Hopefully we see them again soon!
