Mommy or Mom?

When do you make the transition from Mommy (or Momma) to just Mom? Kendall is now starting to call me Mom more and more these days. I think it is too early, I'm not ready to just be Mom yet, I still want to be Mommy....she is growing up way too fast!

First Date?

Look how cute these two are! No not a first date but Morgan's Second Birthday Party. Love his star sunglasses. Look at them two playing footsy under the table....

GATOR!

Look what we saw on our walk tonight at the amenity center?



Kendall was in love with it and wants to bring food for him next time....I know that I am pushing her to be a "Gator Girl," but I didn't mean it literally!

Big Girl Panties

Look who wore big girl panties to school today.......



"ME!!!"


Kendall's teacher approached me yesterday when I picked her up that she thinks that Kendall is ready to full on potty train. I know this day has been coming quickly-I have known that she is ready but I'm not. Kendall is dry pretty much every morning and for the past week at school has not had a wet diaper. SO today it begins. I'm not buying anymore Pull-ups. We will just use what we have for night-time and any long road trips. She seemed pretty excited about it this morning (as you can tell in the picture) when we were talking about it on the way to school. Let's hope that day 1 in big girl panties will be successful :)

Green (Maybe) Thumb

I decided to get a little adventurous this year and planted two tomato plants, some basil and oregano. I have been envious of my neighbors real garden for the last two years now. I though that I would start in containers this year before making the investment in a real garden. I'm not known to have too much of a green thumb..that is my mom's department. So far things are looking okay. I'm diligently watering every (well almost) everyday. Tonight when Kendall and I were out watering the plants I saw these....






OMG! They are actually producing something...now if i can just make them last....

Stay tuned for more plant updates. I'm sure you are just on the edge of your seat...

More Plants

And to continue with the planting post, I also finally ventured out and bought some planters for my front porch after three years of living in this house...I just couldn't decide what I wanted. No really, I just am not good at the whole gardening thing. I finally made a choice and went with it. These have been around for almost a month now. Not too bad. Wish I had pictures from when I first planted them. The white flowers up-front have really grown and are starting to cascade down the edge and the red ones in the back are getting ready to bloom AGAIN. Yes you read that right they are blooming again, I managed not to kill them after the first bloom (which is what I usually do)! Again, Kendall and I are (almost) watering everyday and deadheading (not sure if that is the right terminology) the spent blooms (almost) daily too. With any luck these beauty's will last till August.
