"Mom, I Got To Go Pee"

Those words are music to my ears. We have officially potty-trained our last child. I think Huggies will be sad to loose a loyal customer of 10 years!!! She is so cute in panties, and she knows it. "Good Job" Raia. You're AWESOME!!!

The've Had Birthdays Shout Hooray!!

My babies are now 2 and 4. I'm not sure I really believe it myself, but it seems to be true. Raia turned 2 on March the 16th. And Evan turned 4 on April 16th. A girl at work asked me what I would do without a baby in the house. In my opinion they are both still babies and will be until they are 12 and 14. So Happy Birthday to the most beautiful and sweet 2 and 4 year olds in the world. I love you both!!!!

Easter Green

Sorry about the late entry, but here are the Easter Pics. I love holidays in which you can dress your kids up and make them look alike. We spent the Easter weekend in Irvine with all the cousins on the Nilsson side. It was a blast. And if that picture of Evan and Raia doesn't make you want to melt there is something wrong with you. I sure do love these kids!!!!
