Panties

So, Emma has officially been in panties for the last 4 or 5 days!! YIPPIE!!! I am so excited!! I never thought when I was growing up that I would get so excited over my daughter wearing panties!! I am so psyched!!! She still has occassional accidents, but most of the time it is just her starting to pee and then she stops and finishes in the potty. I'll take it! I was so afraid we would be celebrating her 4th birthday and she would still be wearing pullups. My Emma is a big girl now!!! Oh, I am just so excited!!!

My Little Princess

She is such a ham and a little poser! lol She is just Emma!! Thought I would share this pic. Just took it a few minutes ago.

It's back!!

Okay, so went onto a different birth control to help regulate my periods. Well, my diarrhea is back. Yep, my body must just not like the birth control. I really don't know what the deal is. I've been on this kind before, so I'm not sure why it is happening. I swear, child bearing and child birth really does a number on your body. My hips have never been the same since I've had Emma and ever since I have had Chase my body doesn't take to the birth control well at all. So, off I go to see if there is something else that I might be able to take. I might try the Orthro Lo. Maybe my body needs a lower dose of the hormones or whatever it is in the pill. So back to square 1 I go, hurrah hurrah. lol

Oops!

I titled the last post "The future" and then never talked about what was intended for the post. lol Anyways, I'll have to do that post later on today. lol

The future

So, I haven't posted in quite a while. We have been busy doing a lot of fun family stuff. One weekend we went down to my brother's house in Columbus to watch my neice Kailey play softball. We then went and spent the night at their house, it was my entire family, both brothers and their families and my parents. It was a lot of fun.
Then the following week, Matt took Friday off and we took the kids to the Columbus zoo. It started off as a day trip, but we ended up staying the night at my brother's house again. The kids, well Emma, really loved the zoo. Chase was just along for the ride, he loves going for walks.
Then this weekend we had a bbq on Saturday. We played cornhole and had a fire. It was a really good time, the kids got to play with other kids. We did have a couple ouchy moments. Emma got sand in her eyes and I mean a lot. Well, we had to hold her down and pour water in her eyes, now this is pure torture to her. She absolutely hates it when she gets water in her eyes. Then Chase fell later on and hit his eye on a little kids plastic picnic table, so we are on shiner #2. But we all still had a great time!! Then Sunday Matt and Emma worked outside, got some mulch and put it in the flower bed. And that evening we put the kids in the stroller and walked uptown to get ice cream. It was great, we have been doing so much family stuff, I really like those kind of moments.
Last week was my first week of only having my nephews once a week. I got so much stuff done and my stress level has been so much lower. I love my nephews to death, but I'm thinking that I'm just not cut out for babysitting. I was able to clean my house and go on several walks. Heck today we went on a walk and did some errands while on our walk and had lunch all before noon. I have so much more energy and desire to do stuff. Plus, I don't have Emma fighting with the boys. It is nice, just gotta decide what I'm gonna do once school in back in session.
Anyways, life is great on the homefront. Chase is walking around like a mad man, with a huge temper. Yes oh yes, he has quite the temper. Take something away from him that he isn't suppose to have and he has this pitchy scream/yell and starts throwing his arms around. He gets so mad. Matt and I can't play fight, b/c he starts crying. But other than the temper, he is really getting big and is such a cutie. He is a lover too. Matt will lay on his belly on the floor and Chase will come up to him and squat down and give him a kiss. It is just so cute!! He is always hugging on me. Then him and Emma. They fight one minute and loving on each other the next. Emma oh Emma, potty training is still in the same exact place it was before. Sometimes she does, sometimes she doesn't. I really don't know what to do. It's not like you can make her stop peeing her pants. I just don't know what it is gonna take to get her to stop. I don't want her going into her 4th birthday still not potty trained. So if anyone out there has any suggestions I'll try anything. Well, I need to lay the little one down for a nap. Hopefully I'll update more often!!
