Down to the wire....

     We are days away from jumping on a plane and heading South. I have been trying to check things off my list, but it just seems like everyday I come up with more things that need done. Either way its OKLAHOMA or bust :-) Laela is beyond excited to see everyone; she has been talking about it a lot. Between the trip and Christmas she is on cloud 9. Colt is basically along for the ride; he doesn't really get the whole concept BUT he is ready to "go, go, go"! Thats his new thing here lately... usually "go, go, go" means he needs to potty, but when Laela starts talking about going to OK he definitely chimes in. 


     We got to have some fun with the kiddos!!! 

Brittney and I got the kids all Chirstmased up and we took some adorable pics. It is a lot of work BUT my kids never fail me. They were such troopers; we even did a mini 3 min shoot outside and Im pretty sure it was around 10 degrees. Overall I was more than happy with them! I feel like Im a broken record but I just can not get over how old they both look. I still feel like they are my babies, but they are growing so fast and changing at a more rapid speed than I could have ever imagined. 


     I hope everyone is ready for the Hamm family to barge in and make ourselves at home. 
We will be seeing you soon!

He may not speak BUT he goes to the POTTY

Not that everyone really wants to know this tid-bit of information BUT I could not go without sharing. Colton Scott has been potty training the last few days and I couldn't be more proud of him. He has been doing such an amazing job!!! He doesn't talk yet, but he will come grab my hand and drag me to the restroom when he needs to go. Sometimes I will ask him "Colt, do you need to go potty" he shakes his head one way or the other and he always tells me the truth. I would say that he is 75% of the way there within just days of very casual potty training. I was a little nervous to start because he is so young, but he showed so much interest including climbing up on the potty himself and pulling down his diaper and heading to the bathroom himself. Its looking like we will finish this box of pull ups and then go straight to undies. My baby boy is growing up so fast; Im loving every minute and enjoying even the hard days!
