Potty training... for Mom

You know, I forgot that potty training is soo hard. We are trying to potty train Donnovan, but I feel its mostly Mom who is being potty trained. Mom and Dad are the ones who are constantly reminding him to go and we're the ones trained to tell him to go potty. Man I can't wait till he's all done, cause then I won't have to do this ever again!!

Welcome!! I'm New

Welcome to our blog. I am completely new at this and I'm not sure what I am doing so..bare with me. I decided that I needed to start doing this because I am a horrible writter and with my wrist I can't do it anymore and I really need to start writting down all the fun things that happen with my family.

My family is great. I have a wonderful husband and four great kids. I met my husband Robert back in 1996. Our first day was December 7th and we were married February 28th. I know, I know way to short, but we have been married for almost 15 years so we must have done something right...right?! He works evenings at Detroit Diesel and I work days at Beehve Storage and as a substitute teacher. Maybe thats why its worked soo well.. we're never home at the same time.

Ryan is our oldest, born Jan 4th (again I know super short, but way worth it!). He is now almost 14 and is in 8th grade. He is a great kid who tells his mother that he loves her and still kisses her good night. He is a huge computer and game system junkie (gets it honestly from his father). His favorite food is pizza and steak. He is allergic to penicillin and horses.

Kiersten is our oldest girl, who was born on Aug 18th . Kiersten is 12 and in Young Womens and 7th grade. She is a little shy, until you get to know her, then she is all over the place wild. She takes after her father in that she is TINY. I mean she's 12 and weighs 54 pounds. She could pass for a 9 year old. I told her that when she gets older that she will take that as a compliment, but for now she gets mad at me when I say she's looks younger. Her favorite foods are lazanga and walnuts. She has a cool history of her teeth... remind me and I'll tell you later.

Emalee is my little girl. She was born on March 27th. She is 5 and is in Kindergarten. She goes to Mrs. Gisbson's all day kindergarten. She is loving it!! I knew she would. She is a sponge when it come to learning things. She is a spitting image of me when I was little (a feel bad for her about that) and she has my temper (feel bad for me). Emalee's favorite foods are turkey and cinnamon toast.

Donnovan is our caboose. I have met my match and his name is Donnovan. He was born on July 21st and is now a very active 3 year old. His favorite things to do are to color on walls, jump on furniture and climb into bed with Mom and Dad...every night! I guess its true what they say, the older you get the lazier you are with the parenting. He gets away with more than the other 3, but don't tell them I told you. He tells me his favorite foods are pop tarts and chicken nuggets.
