WIAW

Happy Wednesday!! I hope your week has been great so far:) So I am going to go random for just a minute. Yesterday I was made aware of how many times I use an an exclamation mark to finish a statement. I have noticed it before, but never really realized the full magnitude of the usage;) I find that I use them a lot in text messages for some reason. So, my goal today is to try and not use so many:) So, here goes....

On another side note, I was doing my thing yesterday, with my 1.5 year old tailing behind. I asked him if he had a dirty diaper and he said yes;) So, I proceeded to go get him to change it. As I turned around I noticed him running into the bathroom. When I got in there he was pointing at the toilet. I asked him if he wanted to go potty on the toilet and he said, "YES!" I was shocked. I am not quite sure that he is ready to start the potty training process yet, but I'd say when we do he will catch on pretty quickly!:) He was very proud of himself when I clapped and praised him;) I have heard from some "mentor" moms of mine that having older siblings really helps with the potty training process. The fact that Eli has Wyatt to look up to, follow around, pester, and shadow, I am hoping will pay off:)

Now on to What I Ate Wednesday!!! Head over to link up with Jenn of Peas and Crayons.

Do you use a lot of exclamation marks when you type? What are your potty training secrets?

Do you love Chickfila as much as I do?:)

Weekend Recap+Favorite "Fall" Thing

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! I am so bummed my husband is back to work today:( However, this weekend is a 3 day weekend for us and I am so looking forward to it! My cousin is coming into town and I am so excited! Owen hasn't been out to see us since we've been in Lousiana. This weekend was a relaxing one with my Dad and his fiancé, Teresa. She is always a huge help when she is here. She did dinner, bath time, cleaning the kitchen, etc. For those moms out there, you know how nice it is to have the extra hands to do that!:)

Saturday we did some work outside, cleaning off the porch, and grilling for dinner. We picked up some steaks from a local meat market/butcher and they were so good!!! Of course we watched our bulldogs play!:) They dominated. GOOO DAWGS!!:) Yesterday we went to church, out to lunch, and then ran some errands. I think Weston is already sick of shopping...and the holidays aren't here yet:/ Here are a couple shots from the boys on Saturday:

I can't stand the cuteness!!!:) It was a beautiful day at our house and we enjoyed it by being outside all day.....

What did you do this weekend?

OH MY... "Favorite Things" goes "FALL"!!!!! If you haven't made your first "Fall" stop at Bath and Body, I urge you to go pronto;) I actually ended up getting the same scents I did last year!!! The new ones are delicious too, so I will have to try those next. I just couldn't pass up my fall favs from last year! So, for today, here is a so yummy favorite thing!!

I am so thankful. We have some fun plans this weekend! My Dad and his fiancé will be here today so we are planning on making some good food and burning a big bonfire tonight. Tomorrow is, of course, football:) Sunday we are headed to church and the out to lunch with our friends. I love eating with friends after church..it just finishes off a great morning of worship and fellowship! 

What are your weekend plans?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today I am flashing back to when my second little boy was teeny;) He was 6 weeks premature and so darn cute! This is him at almost 2 months old...eeeeeek! I love it! This one always makes me laugh. He was so particular about being wrapped and comfy. I had not put his blanket over him yet and he was getting a little testy;)

Look at those little feetsies and hands and cheeks and head....okay, I'm done;) I would love to see some of your old photos! Thanks again for those who are stopping by and reading!! I am always trying to find new ways to bring in more readers. If you have any suggestions on what you would like to read about, I would love to hear them!

Have a great weekend and I will be back on Monday for another great week of blogging!
