Its Official...

My little Ty guy is potty trained! I wasn't really motivated to potty train Nate, and life was so busy when it was the perfect time to do it, so I held off a little too long and it was a disaster. I was determined to get it right with Ty, so I sent Ryan, Nate, and McKenna off to the farm for the weekend and Ty and I had a weekend of potty learning just the two of us. No distractions. It went really well, and after a couple of weeks with some accidents here and there, he got it! Now he does it all by himself without our help and is even sleeping the night in underwear. How nice it is only to have one little bum to change. I'm so proud of my big boy!

All Hallow's Eve!

This Halloween I was sick with the flu. We were planning to do our annual Halloween party with all the Shurtz cousin's but ended up cancelling it cause Ginger and I were both sick. Ryan went to work with his Dad and Connie came in to help out with the kids. I stayed in bed all day! Its so nice to have in-laws close by. The kids had lots of fun with Grandma. Later in the afternoon we headed over to my Dad's for Halloween with my family. Nate dressed up as Dash (from the incredibles), Ty was Peter Pan, and miss McKenna was a ladybug. The kids looked great in their costumes. My sister in-law had a fishing game set up and the kids fished for some prizes. We ate dinner and then Ryan and I took the kids trick or treating to a couple of friends houses, and then we came back to my Dad's and did a few houses with cousin Bella. The kids had so much fun and got just enough candy! Now they continue to run around the house playing trick or treat! Its a good thing they don't complain when I give them imaginary candy!

Strider!

My sister bought a Strider bike for all the kids to share. Ty's kind of adopted it right now though cause he's the perfect age and size for it. For anyone who doesn't know what they are its a bike with no pedals, so the child learns to push with their feet to move. Its a great way for kids to learn how to steer and keep their balance. He has had so much fun on it and has gotten pretty good. Sadly I've been really bad at taking pictures the last couple of months so I have none of Ty riding it. I do have a couple of McKenna though. In the second pic she's fixing the bike!









Just to show how well they've been playing with each other lately!

Kalispell!

Wow. Its been way too long since I've blogged. Last month we went to Kalispell for the Hasegawa retreat. Ryan's boss has a cabin there, so we've made it an annual tradition to go down for a weekend. The guys usually golf while the girls shop. We go out for dinner together, and then we spend all day Saturday at the cabin boating, and quading, and then Mark and Michelle BBQ steaks and we have a fabulous dinner. We had so much fun, and its always nice to get away from the kids for a weekend!

End of Summer

Monday my sister in-law and I took the kids to Waterton for the last time this summer. My Grandma had her trailer there, so we drove up for the day. It was fun just chillin by the water and the playground. Then we ended our trip with ice cream, and said goodbye to one of our favorite places. Until next year...











So as crazy as it seems, yesterday was the first time all summer that I took the kids to Park Lake. My sister in-law and I were sitting on the blanket enjoying the sunshine while the kids had fun playing in the water and sand. I sat there thinking, why we didn't do this all summer. It was so nice and relaxing. Maybe next year.
