Weekend in Roswell

We went to go pick up Jordan after he spent a week with Robert in Roswell and got to hang out with Faith, our four nephews, our Grandma Brown, and finally got to meet Jason's Aunt Lori face to face, after having been Facebook friends for several years. It was a nice time!!

The kids were all really excited to be around each other, per the usual. When you get 7 kids together, from 11 down to 2, to spend two nights together, it's bound to be one rowdy good time.

They had a water gun fight Saturday, after 4 of them had been fishing in the morning. It was kind of nuts, but we laughed and laughed.

Right in front of the firing squad for a posed picture...

7 kids and one very overgrown teenager.

Avery was soaked and had such a blast!!

Do you know how annoying and impossible to get 7 kids, especially 5 BOYS to pose for a picture together?

Yeah, Avery, what ARE those boys doing?

Yes, the picture below is what most of the pictures looked like. Adults trying to get kids to stand still, put the swords down, "just one more minute," you know. Stuff like that.

Girls just know what to do for a camera, don't they???

I just thought this one was funny of Kadin... :-)

Jordan just trying to hold on for Jax, just for a minute!!

Kadin LOVES Avery...

YES, Avery, boys are bad and will teach you bad habits...

Little stinker.

It was so nice to visit family, but so nice to be home! I often find myself being the kids police. When there are more kids than adults, it's either they are control or you are! Sometimes, I still think to myself, "When did I become the adult, again?" And I was just thinking about how hard it's going to be when all of these kids become teenagers. Hopefully, by then, we won't have to lift a finger when we are all together, they can cook all of the meals and do all of the cleaning themselves for US, right?

Back to work tomorrow!

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this! I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head. As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee. I can't believe I just said that. It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
