More summer happenings....

Lots happening and not much battery life left on the computer to explain everything, so of course I have lots of pictures for you to see what we have been doing.

Potty training is actually going well. We've had a few days now with no accidents, and Jack is getting much better at telling us when he has to go and holding it until he sits on the potty. He's very proud of himself every time he goes, and that seems to be the reward for him...just the excitement everyone shows when he uses the potty. We are still working on number 2, but we've had two success with that...so we'll take it.

We've been trying to keep busy, but with this horrible weather we've been having we haven't had the chance to do too much except play in the house or do some shopping or visiting with family.

We were able to head to the fair when it was in PLattsburgh, but of course it rained the whole time. Jack still had fun.
Trying to pet the goats...

One big happy family.... lol
On one of the nicest days of the summer, we had a Jack and Jill party for Aimee and Jaramy at the beach...talk about lucking out with the weather!

The happy couple with the boys...Erika and I were so proud...we decorated the cake ourselves!
My little boy being a ham...
Playing frisbee...
Awww....this doesn't happen that often, that's why I needed a picture of it!
We also had a chance to do some blueberry "picking". I say that because Jack did more eating than picking, but we still had a great time!
Not too sure what he's doing here....
Handfulls at a time....
Enjoying his apple from Grammy. I know the picture is a little blurry, but I still love his face!
Oh yeah...and the big thing that has been going on is the construction of our new house! Very exciting stuff! The road to our house and Katy's house was started last week and they are now in the process of pouring our walls for our foundation. I don't have too many pictures because every time Mark goes down he forgets to take some. It's been hard getting down there with Jack's sleeping schedule and my work schedule, but Mark helps the guys out whenever he doesn't have to watch Jack. Anyway, he's just a few pictures of our hole in the ground....


We are hoping to be in by mid September, so I'll keep everyone posted. It's just exciting to finally see things happen...the banks were taking too long for our liking! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

Yea you need more pictures!! I'll take some of yours when I go up today. Your house looks more like a swimming pool right now with all the blocks up and mine, well it is one (a little bit).
