Cute Pics

With all this snow we've been stuckinside a lot this past month. So this has caused a ton of pics to be taken. Here are a few cute ones. Enjoy!

"I went pee in my underwear!"

Last week we started potty training and I was shocked at how easy it was. I realize now that people were right when they said that "when they're ready, they'll just do it". I woke up that first day and was ready for a fight. I was seriously prepping myself by saying out loud (while standing in front of a mirror) "I am the mommy, he's only a child, I can do this, I will not be afraid". Don't laugh, I'm serious, I was scared. So day 1, I put big boy underwear on Bo, and told him not to go in his pants, I moved his potty into the living room on a bathmat, I said "go potty now... please" (all this while thinking, he can smell my fear, you must not show fear woman!), and........he did! He did all day, and the next, and the next. Long story short, I'm all done, my fears of walking into kindergarten with a 5 year old in diapers is over!

A dark cloud is looming over the Bush household....

I've been dreading this for the past 3 years....and now it is upon us....the time has come to potty train Bowen. After MANY and when I say many, I mean like 20, failed attempts, its happening, I'm tired of changing someones diaper who tells me he's "going upstairs to do some business" when he goes #2. I'm done.....please pray for me. It'll either be a success or I can be found balled up in the corner of my closet crying....

Ally's new look!

We took Ally lastnight to get her ears pierced (I think they're cute, I don't care what anyone else thinks!). She cried for about a minute, which is better than what I was expecting, and now she looks so cute! Lesson taught to Ally.....Pain = Beauty

Merry Christmas

This year we went to NY for Christmas to visit with family there. Ally got her Christmas wish for diapers and wipes, and Bowen got a tool set from grandma and grandpa Bush, and a drum set from grandpa Raines! We were also able to have Ally's blessing there too. Here's some pics, I'm lazy with the commentary today, so enjoy the pics!

Alexandria Grace Bush

FINALLYYYYY!!!

This past Saturday was Travis' birthday and so when I asked him what he wanted, he said he wanted me to have the baby, well it's no secret that I'm not a fan of being pregnant, so I was wishing for the same thing! We went out to a movie late that night and came home and went to bed. At about 2 am I started having contractions and we were on our way to the hospital! I went into surgery and Alexandria "Ally" Grace Bush was born at 9:02am weighing 8lbs. 14oz. 21" long.....BIG LADY! We came home yesterday and she and I are doing great! I'll post some pics in the next couple days :)
