Happy Father's Day!

As much as we talked about it, we never did get a picture of Rob with the kids! And half the day wasn't so "happy", as all this rain is REALLY getting us down! and the kids need more outdoor time! Yesterday was a nice break, but today the boys nearly drove us crazy running around hooting and hollering, fighting.. you name it! Cora of course was her perfect angel self! ... so here I go... RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!! Please come another day... preferably during the winter when we have to be inside anyway! Rob did get a smoker for Father's day as well as a beer cozy that Caden decorated for him with "Dad" on it so no one will mistake it for their own! So once this rain stops perhaps we'll cook up some yummy ribs!

It's that time again! The kids 4 month comparison! There surely is no mistaking that Caden and Cora could practically be twins! They definitely have the same mouth. Cole didn't get his upper lip until later in life.. so I'm sure they'll go through many more morphs of each other! I also didn't have a good hat picture of Cole at 4 months... we'll see what we can dig up next month!
This weekend we got Cole comfortable with the potty.. prior to this weekend he would sit on it with his clothes on, but not his bare bum... so this week starts toilet training boot camp! We'll see what happens.. I think we'll start on Tuesday when the boys go to see Kim, she's the one who taught us the method, and it will be good for her to start the regimen since the boys take direction from her much better than us! Of course.. I guess we should tell her though! (Kim are you reading?!)

Cole on the big potty.. didn't want to use the Elmo Seat

... and on the little seat (this morning was a bit like Goldilocks and the Three Bears trying all the pottys!)

Cora wears a bracelet... errrr rattle!

Kids! (Oh, and ya... Cole didn't wear any pants today!)

Meet our very own "Super Fire Chief Cole!"

and "Fire Chief Caden!"

and what better thing to do on a rainy Sunday? Photograph the kids 2nd pig pile of course!

Here's hoping we see the sun real soon! Either that or August better be stellar! We REALLY want to swim in the pool!
