Jam packed and full of fun!!

Well this last week has been jam packed as always. Last Wednesday night Frankie, Colton and I spent the night at Treasure Island Casino. Frankie got a coupon in the mail for a free room so we figured what the heck why not. They have a new bowling alley so we had to give that a try. Colton loved bowling, and he is pretty good! He even beat Frankie his very first game, of course he had bumpers which helped! We had so much fun, it was nice to just get out of the house for a night!

On Saturday we went to a Wonder Pet's Birthday Party! Colton's cousin Isaac turned two! Colton had so much fun playing with his cousins. I still can't believe that Isaac is two. Our boys are getting so big way to fast. It seems like we were both just pregnant and planning each others baby showers and here we are with two amazing little boys (well she has another one as well) it just reminds me to enjoy every minute of every day because they go by quickly.

Then on Sunday we spent the day enjoying this beautiful weather. We played outside on the swing set, in the sandbox and even went for bike ride. We also did some Spring cleaning inside and out. Colton loves to help clean... I am just hoping he likes it as much when he is older.

We also decided on Sunday that we are done with Diapers! Yup it sounded like a super idea at 10am... but at 1:30pm when I was changing Colton into his 5th pair of pants for the day I was ready to give up! I just figured that it wasn't gonna work, he didn't seem to care if he wet his pants and he was gonna be waering diapers until he got married. But we stuck it out and he is doing amazing now. Monday he only had one accident all day. We make him try ever hour. Tuesday he went to school in his big boy underwear and had 3 accidents. Tuesday night at home with us he had none! Wednesday at school he only had 1 accident and all night with us he had none (which I thought was great because he weren't at home). Today he woke up and told me had to go potty... he was doing the pee pee dance. And about a half hour later he said he had to go again (number 2 this time) so I think he is starting to realize when he gets the urge and he is telling us he has to go instead of us making him try every hour! We are just so proud of him. We are also so excited to not have to buy diapers anymore. He is still wearing a pull up to bed but as soon as we run out of those he is done with that too (and we only have about 15 left). The real challenge is when we are out and about... he does not like to use the big potty chair so we will have to work on that. For now we will take it one step at a time. This is just another reminder that he is not my baby anymore but he has become my little man!

My brother is home for Spring Break this week so we have been hanging out with him almost every night. Well last night was no exception. My mom realized she too had a free hotel stay at the Casino so back we went. My mom came and checked us in and went bowling with us and then she went back home because she had to work today. Colton, my brother and I stayed out there. We played in the arcade and won all kinds of fun prizes and candy. Colton and I were in bed by 10pm and Brad headed down to the casino to gamble. This morning we got up ordered room service for breakfast and then went swimming. Colton is one spoiled little kid that is for sure.

The rest of today will be spent doing laundry and watching College Basketball... Go Minnesota!! We are looking forward to this weekend. We are heading to Otter Tail, MN for our Annual Sand's Get Together. We all have hotel rooms at Thumper Pond Resort. I am sure we will spend many hours in the waterpark sooaking in some fun! We will also be playing Catch Phrase (which my team will win like always). Okay that gets my life caught up!
