Happy Birthday McCoy

My big boy has turned four. McCoy has been looking forward to his birthday since Landon had his about three months ago and is so excited that it's finally here. Here are some things to know about McCoy...

Favorite

Food: -Chicken nuggets, Cheese and Ketchup on everything
Toys: -Monster Trucks
Color: -Green
Movies: -Cars, Toy Story and Monster’s Inc.
Likes to: -Go to grandpa’s house and farm, ride his bike and little four wheeler, play outside with his "friends" and cousins. He also loves to follow around his daddy and do whatever he is doing. At night McCoy likes to have mommy sing at least 5 songs to him before he can go to sleep. McCoy also likes to take the cushions off my couch everyday to build himself trucks and huts (this makes mommy so happy). He is a very loving boy who likes to look out for his little brother and is my little sweetheart.

Happy Anniversary!

I can't believe that Nate and I have been married now for 6 years. I guess time flies when you're having fun. I can look back and see the path of my life and how it lead straight to Nate. We were definitely meant to be. I can't imagine my life without him. He is a great person and a wonderful dad to our two boys. I love him very much. Happy Anniversary!

Disneyland Trip

We spent this last week hanging out at Disneyland with Nate's family. Since it's December, they had all of their Christmas decorations displayed and even some of their rides were changed to reflect a Christmas scene. Everything was so beautiful. Some of McCoy's favorite rides were the Matterhorn, Soarin Over California and Pirates of the Caribbean. When I asked Landon what his favorite ride was he said Winnie the Pooh and Nemo, although, he mostly talks about the plane ride there and back. I'm sure we'll go again some day, but I think we'll wait until our youngest child is at least 40" tall since that is the height requirement for a lot of the rides. Thanks Grandma Peggy for a GREAT time and I'm sure we won't forget it.

The boys didn't know what to think of Mickey and made sure that he didn't touch them

Potty Trained

Yeah! Landon is officially potty trained. With the help of a treats, stickers and a chart, Landon picked up on it really fast. It's very relieving not to have to change any dirty diapers. I hadn't planned to start until the first of the year, but Landon kept taking off his diaper and putting McCoy's underwear on so I decided now was as good a time as any. He is so excited to be a "big boy" like his brother. Both of my boys have done well with potty training and were started by the time they were 2 years and 3 months old.
