Date Night

My wonderful husband wisked me away on a date Friday night. He would not tell me where we were going or what we were doing but the night of he told me to pack an overnight bag. He took me to the Alpine Inn in Hill City where we had their special bacon wrapped filet minon. Then we headed to Deadwood to stay overnight in a suite! The next morning we ate at the Creekside Restaurant. Everything had been so relaxing and just a great getaway for the two of us, but he had one more surprise up his sleeve. We went and took Old Time pictures. It was alot of fun and a great ending to our little time to ourselves!

 

Cupcake Monsters

So last wednesday night I gave Trinity a cupcake with blue frosting. he proceeded to get it all around his mouth.  

So then he wanted to look in the mirror at his blue face. As he is looking in the mirror his very kind mother grabs the cupcake and smushes it on his cheek. Trinity starts laughing and putting frosting all over his face. Then we decided to get daddy! As dad is talking to his boss Trinity sneeks up on him and smushes frosting all over Trampus' face. It was too funny! Both of them jumped in the bathtub and the water turned blue of course.

 

My Cupcake Monsters!

Proud Momma

So I have to share this with all of you cause I am so PROUD! Last night was progress! I was cleaning up a few things before bed time and Trinity was running around in his big boy underwear, with Lightining McQueen on the butt. Well I come out of the bedroom and there he was sitting on the potty all by himself. It made me feel so good!! He acted like "Mom this aint no big thang". I covered him in kisses and hugs and told him how proud I am. Yes I am very proud of my little man if you could not tell!!

Story Book Island

It has been a crazy fast week! This last weekend we took a family day and went to Story Book Island for their Festival to help raise money. We went with our neighbors Nick and Danielle and their 2 boys Carter and Colton. The kids had a blast running through the park and getting chased by pirates! Arg! They jumped in the bouncy castle, rode the dragon train and helped the firefighters spray water! They had a lot of fun and we were all tuckered out so we went home to take a nap!

Riding the Dragon Train

Hitching a ride from Yogi

We have been potty training! In Brookings I had found a Lightning McQueen Potty! Best $25 spent! Trampus thought I was crazy he came home one night and Trinity was watching cartoons in the living room sitting on his potty. I dont care where he goes right now as long as he does not go in his pants, until he gets the concept! 

Tuesday we went to Connor's football game. It was fun to see him play.

This weekend we dont have any big plans. Hopefully a relaxing weekend. We need to get Kota's doghouse prepped for winter and get out all the winter clothes because it is already starting to get chilly. I am kinda a girl when it comes to the cold so not looking forward to winter, Otherwise Sunday we are going to watch Kade play flag football.

Angels Looking Over

Here is my first blog! I have been thinking about starting a blog for some time now and just never took the time to actually get it going. Alot has happen this summer. The begining of July God received 2 Angels. A great friend Andy and 1 1/2 month old Tehlula. Then this last week one of my best friends past away leaving her husband and her 10 month old son behind. Megan was the one that kept telling me that I needed to start blogging so we could keep tabs on each other, even though we emailed each other every other day!

I really miss my friend. She was my confidant and helped me get through some tough times. On days where I was down she would call, write or just have some random rant on her blog that wouldmake me giggle. You just had to know the girl. She was absolutely amazing!   

I am going to try to write at least once a week to help keep in contact with family and friends.
