2010 - May was a BIG month!

So several things happened in April/May. Creighton and I took two trips. One to Cancun to celebrate our 10th anniversary.

And one to Anguilla, BWI. Thank you, ScanSource!


These trips were huge for our little family because they were the longest we had ever been away from the boys. Both trips were five days each. They were incredibly relaxing and I personally loved being an island girl/beach bum for the whole time we were there. Thank heavens for Skype which allowed us to talk to our babies everyday! The boys stayed with my parents at our house while we were in Cancun and with Creighton's parents at our house while we were in Anguilla. Without grandparents........we wouldn't have been able to have these wonderful vacations!

In May, we decided we were tired of buying diapers and since pre-school was starting in August it was time to potty-train. I was expecting the worst but as per usual with our boys, it only took them about a week to get the hang of this new thing. They did great during our first outing in underwear, which was to our good friends, Payton & Parker Anderson's 5th birthday party.

Alex had one small accident but I was prepared with a change of pants! Along with big boy underwear came a trip to IKEA and the purchase of big boy beds.

These beds are super cool. They don't have the tents on them in this picture because they were actually out of stock when we bought the beds. But they come with a tunnel style tent that clips on the top. These beds are convertible. So we have the parts to convert them into loft beds with a ladder. The tent works with both the loft and the standard style bed. The boys took a while to get used to them but now they love their beds.
