Potty training

We spent most of last week at home so Eli could be potty trained and now he's a pro! I almost gave up the first day, but each day got easier and easier. And now we only have one baby in diapers around our house and it feels weird!

On Monday night, we had FHE at Chili's with our friends. He is a manager there so they treated us to dinner! We purchased shirts to donate money to St. Jude's in honor of September being childhood cancer awareness. Aaron created the design for our shirts and I loved how they turned out.



Like I said, we spent Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at home and it paid off because Eli picked up potty training so quickly (M&Ms worked like magic with that kids). Thursday night my parents drove here for the weekend and they watched the boys while Aaron and I attended the temple. We love that place!

Friday, we went to visit Santa at the North Pole. My parents grew up in southern CO and grew up hearing about their friends going to the North Pole. My parents never had the opportunity to visit the park, so it was extra fun for us to go with them and experience the place all together!


(The North Pole had a sink Eli's size so he happily used the bathroom as often as possible.)



We went down this slide 3+ times. Thanks for snapping this memorable pic, mom!



Austin loved hanging out in the mother's lounge. 
Any place that has a nursing lounge we love even more! 



We can't wait for CHRISTMAS!!!

Friday night, the Davis fam drove down to eat with us and then we ended the night with bowling at the one and only Bass Pro.



Bowling was followed by a cousin sleepover and then riding the gator for hours.



On Saturday, Aaron worked the WHOLE day because there was a football game at the Academy. We decided to make a craft at Home Depot and then my parents headed to Denver for the day while everyone in our house took a nap.


Sunday was church day and then we headed to Denver to celebrate my dad's birthday all together. We love you, Papa Joe and we loved being with you and Grandma Donna all weekend!
