It is hard to believe July is almost over with. We have been so busy I have not given an update on what the boys are up to.

Hates the doctors office (just like his brother) points and tells us to go out the door.
Wants to use the big boy toilet like his brother.

Jax: Still loves school.
Can write his name (still needs some work on the A )
Traces letters really well.

loves buzz lightyear
Would live outside if we would let him

4th of July Pictures

Here are a few of our 4th of July pictures. Jax had so much fun this year with the firecrackers.

Happy Thursday!

Hope everyone had a great 4th! We had a wonderful long weekend. We grilled, popped firecrackers, played in the pool, and slipped on the slip and slide. The husband and Jax popped firecrackers while Riley and I stayed inside. Riley is so scared of firecrackers. I think it happened when the husband, Jax and Riley went to the firecracker tent and they had the blow up man (you know the one that just wiggles). I think that scared him and he relates that to firecrackers.

If you don't know I am starting a business with a friend. It is a breast prosthesis, wig, compression garment, and hard to fit bra boutique. We are really excited and hope to be up and running sometime in August.

Riley is also trying to potty train (I am not trying to train him right now). I guess he watches his brother and wants to be just like him. About 3 weeks ago he ran up to me and pulled me into the bathroom and went to the toilet and lifted his shirt (I could not stop laughing). I took his diaper off and he acted like he was using the bathroom. I also tried to sit him on the toilet but he did not want to have anything to do with that. He wants to stand. Well about a week after that I found him and Jax in their bathroom Jax had moved the stool by the toilet and pulled Riley's pants down to his feet and took his diaper off. Jax was standing by the toilet showing him how to pee pee. It is really funny!

I have a ton of pictures that I need to put on here but have not had the time. Will try and do in the next couple of days.
