Crazy Weeks

These last few weeks have been NUTS. I got the stomach bug about two weeks ago and am still trying to get my house clean, (thanks to my 2 men). We are officially potty trained!!!!!!! John Clinton has done great and we are so proud of him.

Last week the fair was in town and I am so proud to announce that John Clinton won a Honorable Mention ribbon in the Boys 2-3 year old baby picture contest. The whole baby picture thing tends to be a big deal in the little town of Kennett. There were 27 boys in has age range and am so glad that he got a ribbon. He also won a 2nd place ribbon with the art project that he did at daycare. Needless to say we ate all kinds of fair food last week. I love all the food that they have at the fair. We also got to hear daddy's band play on Friday night.

I think that I have now caught everyone up on what has been going on. There is still no news on the baby front yet. Please continue to say a prayer that what ever God has in store for us works out.

Mizzou vs SEMO

We have been very busy these last few weekends. We were able to go with my side of the family to the Mizzou vs SEMO football game. Needless to say SEMO got slaughtered. We did have a fun time tailgating with Amanda and Matt. John CLinton loved the hot dog and smores that Uncle Matt made him.
We also took in a Cardinals game. John Clinton has decided that his favorite player is Skip Schumaker. I guess that he loves his name because he loves saying Schumaker. We had great seats and wonderful weather. I even think that they managed to win on the day that we went.

John Clinton and Sheryl Crow

Yes, that's right John Clinton got to meet Sheryl Crow today and get his picture taken with her. She was in town for the dedication of the new high school tennis courts. She gave some money and she also helped the school get a grant to help pay for the rest of it. Afterwards she took pictures and talked to everyone. Matt asked if she minded taking a picture with her and she said no. So that's the whole story of how John Clinton got to meet Sheryl Crow.

Going on the potty

Well, we may be on our way to a very big milestone at our house. We are potty training and the wonderful daycare that John Clinton goes to is helping with this wonderful milestone. She told me last week to start putting him in underwear and to send extra clothes. So Tuesday, I get him ready and put underwear on him, pack extra underwear and clothes and off we go. Well when I pick him up he is is new clothes and I say "How many accidents?" ( I am thinking probably 2 or 3). Nope just 1. I was so proud of him. We even to go our neices volleyball game and no accidents. Today I do the same routine and when I pick him up we are in the same clothes. YEAH, WOW and YIPPEE!!!!!!!!! I hope that we are going to be potty trained in the next few weeks. So leave John Clinton some congratulations on his potty accomplishments.
