Zoo Trip

The weather here has been beautiful so I thought it would be a good time to revisit the zoo, plus most kids are back in school so it wouldn't be too busy:)
Jerry was such a good boy for me, which made it fun for both of us:)
He though the big turtles were pretty neat.
One of his favorite movies to watch is The Jungle Book.  He started growling when he saw the lion and bear.  Although he called the lions kitties.

Jerry's 2nd Birthday

Our little boy turned 2 on Sunday.  
It's amazing how fast he has grown and changed.
We celebrated his birthday on Saturday with lots of friends and Grandma and Grandpa Kalma and Aunt Amber and Uncle Josh.
Jerry had so much fun opening his presents and playing with his friends.  
I love watching him get excited about new things.  He has so many expressions, it's cute.

Thank you everyone for all that you did for Jerry.  
We are very blessed to have such a great family and friends.

Grandma and Grandpa Holdren and Great Gran gave Jerry a Rody.  It was a big hit with all of the kids.
Thanks Grandma, Grandpa and Great Gran.
I love my rody!!!

There are more pictures from the party in the slideshow.

Pee...

it's the main subject in our house right now.  We have been working on potty training for awhile now.  Jerry has gone #2 in the potty 3 times and #1 numerous times just not on a regular basis.  He refuses to wear a diaper for me at home.  It comes off within seconds of putting it on him ~ frustrating.  So I have been putting him in big boy pants but he will still occasionally wet them so then I tried the underwear over the diaper but it still didn't work - the diaper comes right off.  When all else failed I put him in a swim diaper and this works for a while but is too expensive to keep doing.  I have to admit I am hating potty training.  I am sure he'll get it down pretty soon since he hates wearing a diaper but geesh I am tired of cleaning up pee.  

Image Transferring


I have been wanting to try this out for a long time now...image transfer onto canvas.  I thought I would start out small on a 5x5 canvas.  It's basically printing out a picture on regular paper and pasting it onto canvas with acrylic medium, letting it dry then wetting the paper and rubbing it off and it leaves the ink print on the canvas.  I then brushed it with some watered down brown paint to make it look a little older.
My goal is to replace the pictures I have in our dining room with canvas pictures of Jerry.  These are going to be a little harder since they are larger but I am excited to try it out.

Fun Night

Saturday night we went to the Sedgwick County Fair in Cheney and watched the demolition derby with Cory and Kourtney and their kids.  I was a little nervous about the noise and if Jerry would be okay with it since he hated the fireworks this year but with the earplugs he didn't mind it at all.
