New Digs (for Jayme)

Jayme is really loving his job and I am just so proud of him! He has amazing work ethic and commitment to the company and it is paying off for him. He has had a pretty big learning curve but already has things pretty well mastered and is above schedule on his assignments to date! I am so grateful for a hardworking husband and someone who takes pride in his work. He is a good provider and has stretched out of his comfort zone to provide a better home life for his family. Having him home every night at a pretty consistent time has been one the biggest ++'s in my mind. It saves my sanity each day knowing when he'll be home (to 'save' me, lol). Also to have him off Sundays is so wonderful as well, I know it will do nothing but benefit the family. The weekends go so fast now, we were use to having him for 4-5 days off at a time, but it's a small sacrifice for all the positives. Thank you Jayme for being a great provider, love you XOXO
Here is a pic of his office, and his dual computer screen's that he's quite proud of!

Go-Greem

... that's what Jett calls ice cream. Yesterday we were cleaning the garage and the kids were riding up and down the sidewalk. Then we heard the sound... the sound of a "go-greem" truck. The kids were sooooo excited, so of course we had to buy some. It was a tuff decision but they all ended up choosing the same thing, a rug-rats themed ice cream, so $10.50 later for 4 ice creams, we took a break and enjoyed the surprise treat. We had limited seating but the scaffolding worked great. I'm sure it will be a familiar sound this summer... the go-greem truck.

Boy Style

So since we've been potty training Jett, he started out sitting, moved to 'frog style' and now is experimenting with standing, he's just tall enough if he lifts the seat. So today after lunch he went pee, then he keep standing at the potty, facing me (back to the toilet) saying "poo-poo" "poo-poo" I kept saying yes, go poo, that's fine. But I didn't realize he was doing 'boy style' pooing, with the seat up and his but to the bowl, pooping in. Thank goodness it went in the toilet!!

Fun Night!

So I woke up at 2am to all the kids up, TV on, comp. on, lights on, just happy as can be. I was not happy, at all. Who know's how long they had been up. So get them all back in bed. 4am, same thing!! + lights on downstairs. So in reality they probably did not go back to sleep. Get them all back in bed, with STRICT instruction to stay there.. (ya right) 4:30am after a quick doze by me.. I hear something again, not so many lights on this time, actually only the girls, with the door close, open it and Jett's in there too, and the room is a DISASTER.. So not a happy Mom.. get Ella down in her bed, Jett in his and put Keera in my closet, as obviously they were not going to sleep together.. Finally they went to sleep. Actually Keera slept till 8:20am, Ella 8:35am and Jett was up when Keera got up so not sure when he was up. (they usually up 6-6:30 these days, which I'm not crazy about either)
So that was the exciting night at the Gibb household last night. If our neighbors where up I'm sure they wonder about the hours we keep!

Potty Trained!!!!

I think I can say it now, with out jinxing things.. but Jett is potty trained!! We started more seriously a few weeks before we moved (dumb I know but he was just seeming ready) and besides the day we moved in (where he peeed on our brand new hardwood and our basement floor) he has not had any accidents! + he has been dry this whole time during naps too! (naps in his undies, night time with a pull up) we've noticed he's alot more dry in the morning as well. I can't believe we are done with diapers. Kinda sad, but defiantly happy about it!!
He's so cute the way he "goes" he likes to stand/squat on the toilet seat and pee, sorta frog like. He's just barely tall enough now and is starting to stand and pee, so cute!
