The Past Week at the Cronins...................

So this last week has been a fun interesting week! Audrey pooped in the potty for the 1st time! I'm so proud of my little girl. I even took a picture with her pointing at it but I won't post it! I did send it to Jared's family because it's something only family could appreciate without getting sick! hehe Yesterday I took Audrey to see her 1st Movie and we saw Shrek 3 at the Dollar Theater. She actually did really well. It was fun spending the afternoon with just Audrey and Mom. Audrey also got introduced to Play-doh today and spent hours at the table rolling it around. I should have bought that months ago if I new it was going to keep her that busy and quiet!! Livvy has been walking for almost 2 weeks and is getting very good and fast. Maybe now she will trim off her little chubby legs with all her new walking! Her new thing is to walk around with Audrey's princess purse for hours. She is going to be such a "girly girl" like her older sister. Gosh, I love my girls!! :)

Potty Training and Walking

So last Saturday we finally started to potty train little miss Audrey. It is actually going really well and I am so proud of her. She has only had a few accidents. But I can't blame her because she runs to the potty every 10 minutes. But I have a few questions out there for all you moms who have gotten past this lovely stage. Well I said she has been doing very well with peeing in the potty but still has not gone poop in the potty. And we put her in pull-ups at night because she does not wake up to pee. So if you all have any advice on pooping in the potty and what I should do to make her not have accidents at night, PLEASE tell!

Now on to my other little one Livvy! She has been taking steps now for a month but has pretty much got the whole walking thing down now. She still crawls most of the time because she is so speedy at it. Boy, how they grow up so fast!!

The Blue Marker and some Random Pictures

Well yesterday evening around 8:30 just before Audrey went to bed. Jared and I were in our bathroom shaving his head and out of the corner of my eye I happen to see Audrey crawling on the floor. Then I notice my little angel Audrey has colored my CARPET with this bright blue marker!! It was not just one little spot. She was dragging it along the carpet. For those who know how anal I am about my carpet understand that I nearly had a heart attack. Then I look down the hallway and she also colored on the tile. I wish I would have taken a picture but at the time I was trying not to beat me child and to get the blue off my pretty carpet. Well after srubbing it last night and then borrowing my neighbors steam vac my carpet looks back to normal. So as of this morning I have hidden the markers and we will only be using crayons in this house!

I also wanted to share a few cute pics. The one of Jared and Livvy is after our first day of church with our new 2:40 start time. Were going to have to get used to that! Then after that we were teaching the girls that ballons stick to heads! :)

7 Fish and 1 Snail

Tuesday, Jared brought home a fish tank for Audrey with some fish. He was at one of his jobs and someone just left the fish behind with a sign that said "take me" so he did. Well Audrey just loves these little fish so much. We went out and bought 2 more to add to her collection and now she has 7 fish and 1 snail.

Sedona and my Sweet Grandpa

So this last week my younger sister Mollie from Rhode Island came out to stay with me for a week. She is my half sister from my birth mothers side of the family. During her stay we had planned on visiting my Grandparents but the day before she arrived my sweet Grandpa passed away. He was such a caring and gentle man and I will miss him. So we drove up to Sedona Friday morning and spent a couple days with my Grandma, my Aunt Robin, my Brother and his wife. While we were in Sedona we went to this beautiful church that was built in the rocks. I'm not sure what it was called but it was georgous!
