This is too good not to post! I wanted to post it as a video but the computer took half the day to process the video and it still wasnt done yet when I decided...I think a link will do. Enjoy! :)

DUNCAN family reunion

A couple of weeks ago we had a family reunion on Grandma Dodie's side of the family- aka the Duncan side!

Duncan grandparents with all the great-grandchildren

The Duncans!

(Grandpa Bill and grandma Dodie are the handsome couple on the right!)

Gandma and Grandpa!

Brett with his 1st born son

Brett with his baby boy

Kate with Kylie

Carley and I helped make cherry pie for the party (Gpa Bill's favorite!)

How do you like them 'apples'? ;-)

Spaghetti face

Okay, I know I have been updating the blog very often lately :D but this is too good to pass!

I mean...how cute is he?!?!

When daddy comes home from work, Colton is part of the very happy trio chanting:

Daddy! Daddy! Daddyyyy!!!!

THE MELTING POT

The Melting Pot is a fondue restaurant in Madison, Wisconsin.

Brett and I have been wanting to go to it for a while now and we made it for our 6 years anniversary!

Happy 6 years to us!

The cheese fondue
The meat fondue

The dessert fondue.

Everything was delicious!

Guess who is potty training?!?!

Yes, you guessed it, it's my Brayden William!!!!
Until now, he used to shut down any pleads from me to give potty training a fair chance, mostly with a firm :"NO WAY mommy, NO WAY!!!"
Dad broke through the firm convictions that potty training is a 'no way, no how' deal and he went poopy for the 1st time on Saturday morning!!! WAY TO GO BRAYDEN!!!!!
(I know that for those of you who are not parents, writing a post about pooping is outrages, but I know that those of you who are parents say an AMEN with me!)

Today, while he was sitting on the "big boy potty", he could not resist the temptation to peak out the window to see what manly chores daddy was up to.
As I walked into the bathroom expecting great results, I got this instead...

NICE...

I pray he sticks with it and he will be fully potty trained by the end of the summer!

That's the plan, at least!

The trampoline!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa, Great Grandma and Great Grandpa, aunt Kate, mommy and daddy for my early birthday present!! I could sleep, eat, and drink on it if mommy let me. I have so much fun on it! I even refused to watch cartoons today and chose to be outside jumping on the trampoline! Kylie and Colton love it too!!!

THANK YOU!!!

Love, Brayden
