Lollipop, lollipop, oh lolly lollipop

Jace's new obsession..

"Santa I poop in toilet, now I gonna get a princess castle"

Let me preface this video by explaining, I have been el Desperado in finding ways of convincing Brooklyn to poop in the toilet. Poop training has been a llllooonnngg road...very long. And frusturating as well. I have tried just about everything and nothing has worked, Brooklyn will tell me she wants to poop her pants. The first few times she said it I thought it was funny but after about 3 months of poopy pants the humor wore off. Anyway, I have now resorted to the concept of Santa and explaining to Brooklyn that Santa will bring her a Princess Castle (I happen to know that this is what Santa is bringing her) if she poops in the toilet. Last night, it worked...she pooped in the toilet. And we HAD to call Santa....just in case he wasn't looking!

It is beginning to look like Christmas

Oh Christmas Tree

Jace is pretty much obsessed with touching the tree

Happy Halloween 2010

Halloween was fun this year! It has always been fun but this year was just a little more exciting because Brooklyn participated in picking her own costume (after about 25 picks), she decided to be a pirate. I do know her decision was solely based on the fact she got to have a sword. Regardless, the costume was adorable! Jace ended up being Brobee and the REAL Brobee should be worried because Jace made a really cute Brobee and could easily be his replacement.

Arrrrggg, Pirate Brooklyn

We went trick or treating with their Martinez cousins, the Millers and Dylan (spiderman).

Brooklyn says "Come on kids, let's go!"

Double trouble, they are the cutest!

Brooklyn in action

Jace was not sure about the whole walking up to the door.

Jace, at the end..tired...and minus cute Brobee hat!

Here are some from the kids visit to the Pumpkin Patch...in their Halloween T-shirt

HAPPY HALLOWEEN PEOPLE!

Labor Day 2010

The irony of this being a photo of our "labor" day was not lost on me :) :)
