Potty Training....uh, take 2

Today we got Oscar awesome new big boy underwear to get him started on potty-training before his 3rd birthday.

Check him out!

And then 20 minutes later as Oscar was getting a "time out," he left us this surprise...better luck next time.

Boys of Summer

We are getting some warm weather here in the Chicagoland area.

Here we are at Glamma's club and Oscar is finally swimming by himself

(with the use of a floation device.)

Oscar loves his floaty so much, he wears it all the time and eats lunch with it too!

Hendrix was chillin' at the baby pool, but here is the big boy enjoying Glamma's famous mac n cheese. If you want the recipe, send me a message and I am sure you have all the ingredients in your house, if not-you can get them at a gas station or Walgreen's.

Lil' Taste of Summer

The Kat Klan went to a lil' fest we had in our town.

We hooked up with some friends and family (cuzin Kevin came!)

Here is Oscar with some friends from school.

Leave it to a Kat member to steal the attention in a picture.

Here is Oscar playing with bubbles with his buddy Grant.

And Mr. Hendrix up past his bedtime being tickled by his big bro.

Yea! Summer!

What a joke this summer has been. We are wearing long sleeve shirts, socks and frowns. We went for a walk today around the burbs, I guess the good thing is that we weren't sweating and hot! Here is O & Dad checking out the river dam.

.....and Hendrix jealously looked at the boys with a fishing pole riding shot gun.

We do have some bragging to do. This is a bean from Oscar's bean plant he brought home from school in May. We planted it with our tomatoes, jalpenos, basil, parsley and oregano and totally forgot about it. I found this giant today, here it is next to my phone to give you an idea how big it is.

Freezing Friday.

Yep, it was a July scorcher today, and we had a playdate at Butterfield CC. At first, I thought we had VIP service and the whole pool was rented out for us, but then I realized it was cloudy and 65 degrees!

Here is Oscar NOT in the pool, chilling (seriously, CHILLING) on the chair.

And Hendrix we left at home, of course....here he is before bed, he wants his bottle NOW! Just wanted to show off the 6 snaggle teeth, got 2 more coming in too.

Smile with your eyes boys.

Happy 4thish of July

We had a fun filled 4th of July weekend.

Here are the boys and Gus enjoying the weather and our lawn.






I pretended that I made these cupcakes...thanks Whole Foods!

Of course we hit Ribfest, here is Hendrix chillin' in the grass licking up Mom's glass of wine.

And the boy and his stool....
