Kenzie, Kenzie

As if to spite me, the night after I posted that Kenzie is 100% potty trained she peed her pants.

How Sweet

Anthony is going on a B.O.C.A. Trip to the Dominican Republic to do free dental care soon and him and his friend Creed tried to talk his professor into letting me and Creeds wife go. Although they were told no, there attempt was so sweet. Here is part of the email they sent:

.......as you may or may not know I am a father of three children under the age of 3, and Creed has a daughter, our spouses are a tremendous support to us and our career choice,without their support I don't believe we could be here attending dental school. Creed and I would both love to surprise our spouses with a chance to share the Dominican with them. This would be an opportunity for us to show our wife's how much they mean to us and how grateful we are for their support in helping us through dental school.......

So although Anthony, Creed and friends will be enjoying a resort in The Dominican Republic Tiffany and I can be a little less jealous as we freeze here in Buffalo with kids and no spouse because we know how much our husbands love us, and can get buy on the hope that one day we might get that surprise.

Potty Trained

Kenzie is amazing and was potty trained in 2 days. (Day 3 she had no accidents, she had random accidents after that, but after 2 weeks she has been one hundred percent)

The reward for potty training in our house is a trip to Chuck E Cheese with your best friend. Lucky for Parker he is Kenzie's best friend

I was so proud of Kenzie's potty training accomplish but have to admit I think I was even a little bit prouder of her when the first thing she hopped on when we got there was a motorcycle. Like mother like daughter.

Parker was the photographer of the evening and caught us all getting ready on film. Kaitlynn patiently waiting in her car seat:

A Very Late Christmas Post

Due to a broken computer then lost Internet connection I haven't been able to post for a while, but we are back in business now. Here are our favorite things of Christmas:

Anthony finally got the camcorder he has been wanting for the past 5 years.

Kristie finally got a gym membership
Parker and Kenzie's Christmas excitement was captured perfectly in these 2 videos:

Parker got everything he was "dreaming of getting" for Christmas:

Kenzie changed her clothes and accessories with each present she opened. It was fun to watch:

Kaitlynn got the most adorable booties from Grandma Lisa that she has only been able to kick off a handful of times.

Parker's Chore

Everyone has that one chore that the absolutely hate doing. The chore Parker hates is brushing his teeth, he tries to sweat talk anyone into brushing his teeth for him. We have caught him twice:

and this another night:

Kaitlynn's laugh

Hearing Kaitlynn's laugh is what gets me through the hard days

This also helps:

Fry on the pounds

Anthony and I ended 2009 with a fry party to help our friends gain weight(before we all set goals of eating healthy and loosing weight).

Anthony fried a turkey for lunch, then we started a friendly competition to see who could gain the most weight. We ate fried: corn dogs, fries, pineapple, oreos, cheese, and ice cream.

With each bite I could feel my arteries clogging. The best fried food by far was the ice cream, it tastes heavenly when fried.

Here are some of the guys frying it up.

Eric gained the most weight at our party and for his reward he was given a slightly used pedometer and a ship in a bottle kit.
