Kadyn has now pottied and pooped in the big boy potty! YAY!!! This is a huge accomplishment considering most boys are not potty trained until they are almost three. WHOOP! WHOOP!
I have a few blogs that I will be posting in the next few days so stay tuned:)

Wedding Festivites!!!
Oh boy, what a weekend! My weekend actually started Thursday night. After soccer practice, I went to Faira's to help her do some last minute wedding chores. Thank goodness I did, because the programs were not done and still needed to be printed. It took us a while to figure it out but we eventually got the hang of it. Unfortunately, the more we did the more the printer was acting up. We stopped a little after midnight and decided to try it again in the morning. Friday, I took Makya to school and watched their Teddy Bear parade. 
It was Pajama and Teddy Bear Day for the Kindergartner's. When I got home, I packed my bag and the kid's bag for Saturday night and off I went to Faira's. The printer once again had a mind of it's own. I had to leave Andrew with his mom and step mother to finish up. It was getting late and I had to pick Makya up from school and head out to Dallas for our girls (plus Kadyn)lunch and pick up my dress.
For lunch we went to Frankie's Bar and Grill and then later checked into the hotel and changed for rehearsal. After rehearsal we went to Spaghetti Warehouse for dinner. Faira had bags made with our names on them for our gift. I love it! You can never have too many bags.
She gave the flower girls a necklace with their initial, earrings, a ring and a little pouch with their name on it. Kadyn's gift hasn't came in yet so I'm not sure what that is yet. After the dinner all of us girls went back to the hotel for some girl time. We had a blast! It was just like old times. Saturday, we woke up early and went to Breadwinners for breakfast and had frozen mimosas, mmmm good!!! Afterwards, Susan and I went back to her house and relaxed until it was time to be at the facility. The wedding was supposed to be outside but for obvious reasons we had to bring it inside.
Besides that, the wedding went so smoothly. Faira was a beautiful bride and the wedding was amazing. Makya is a pro at being a flower girl, but this was the first time Kadyn has ever been in a wedding and I do have to say, he did awesome! He held my hand and the other hand was in his pocket, like a little GQ model. Since the Reception was for adults only Janette came to pick the kids up after pictures. 
It was nice that Matt and I could enjoy the evening without chasing the kids around. Sunday, I had to deliver all of Faira's wedding stuff and then relaxed the rest of the day. I think we were all exhausted from the weekend. I'm hoping we will have a laid back weekend very soon.

This weekend was yet another busy weekend. Friday was relatively low key. We went to Home Depot to buy stain for our fence as well as some other small stuff. While we were there, I ran into a friend that I was in school with from Kindergarten until the day we graduated. We even went to the same daycare. 
I love running into old friends. Anyway, we went to bed early because Makya had a 9:00 game in the morning. Saturday, Matt and I got up extra early to clean before the game. My plan was to steam clean the carpet right before we left for the game so it can dry while we were at the game. To my amazement, it happened just as I had planned. I couldn't believe it!! It felt good to have such a productive morning and still make it on time for the game. Speaking of the game, it was awesome! This is the second season for the Pink Panthers to play together, and they are definitely getting the hang of it. Last season, I'm pretty sure we came in last place, but Saturday we kicked some tail. All the girls scored at least one goal. They were so proud of themselves, not too mention, the parents were too. After the game, we went to an early lunch with Janette (Matt's Mom), Michael, Kellie and the girls.
Adi (our niece) had her first game as a cheerleader and looked so cute!!! I can't wait for next year so Makya will finally be old enough to cheer. Once lunch was over the kids and I went and picked up my mom for a fun filled day of wedding shopping. I needed to buy Makya shoes for her flower girl dress and Kadyn a tux and shoes. Kadyn HATED his tux. He did not like it at all, but he was still the cutest little boy
ever! Later, that night we went to dinner with my dad and sisters for my little sister Taylor's birthday. She turned 11. Taylor is moving next weekend to St. Louis with her mom and her new husband. It still hasn't hit me. I'm not sure how to take it. I know Makya is going to be crushed. She thinks of her as her big sister.
They stay the night with eachother at least twice a month. Okay, now that I'm on the verge of crying, let's move on. Sunday, I was basically in the car all morning. First, I picked Matt up from his mom's house (he has been painting her house), the next stop was to Grand Prairie to scoop up Sam and baby Felipe, then to Dallas to pick Kya up from my Dad's house. Once the car was loaded we headed out to North Garland to my sister Lacey's house for lunch.
She made the best taco salad. Us girls played Phase 10, the boys watched the game and the kids played with the train track and watched Spongebob. We had a fun relaxing time. On the way home the kids passed out. Makya must have stayed up late with Aunt Tay Tay the night before because she didn't wake up until I woke her up the next morning at 6:45am!
This week I'm going to be finishing up preparing for Faira's BIG day on Saturday. I can't wait it's going to be a blast!!

Our Big Boy is 2!!!!!
What a weekend!!! Friday, August 29th, our little monster turned 2. Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday he was born. The night of Kadyn's birthday, Matt and I decided to take the kids to the Oasis for dinner. Once we arrived, we found out there was going to be a band, and immediately went out to the patio for some out door fun. Afterwards, we fed the fish and ducks. We had such a great time. On Saturday, we had the BIG party. I could not believe how many people showed up. We are so blessed and thankful for everyone who came out to celebrate Kadyn's birthday with us. This was by far the biggest birthday party we have ever hosted for either of our kids. Kadyn has so many new toys, new books and clothes to last him until Christmas. Everyone was so generous and thoughful. Thank you!
After Saturday Matt and I were extremely exhausted, but that didn't stop us from visiting with family and being productive. Sunday we had a family birthday party for my sister Sam, my sister Taylor and my cousin Jessica. After that party we went over to my mom's house for J. and Izzy's birthday. When it was time to go my sisters Sam and Paige talked me into going to the movies with them. I was so tired, but then again ,I wanted to spend some quality time with my sisters. Needless to say, I went and had so much fun. We ended up seeing Tropic Thunder. OMG!! If you love stupid movies, you will love this one. I laughed so hard, I was crying. I wasn't the only one, Paige and Samantha were laughing just as much. On Monday, we decided it's time for Kadyn to be in a big boy bed. We bought him his new bed and bedding and then went to Maw Maw's house for lunch. She makes the best food! I love going over there and visiting with her Paw Paw. We just recently went to San Antonio with them and had a blast. Maw Maw might be in her 70's, but let me tell you, that woman has so much energy, I can barely keep up with her. Anyway, she offered to keep the kids for a while, and I definitely jumped on that offer. We had so much to do. Matt and I still needed to put together all of Kadyn's new toys and also put together his new bed. On our way home Matt wanted to see a movie and of course I caved in and went. I felt a little guilty going to the movies without him the night before. We ended up seeing...yup, you guessed it, Tropic Thunder. It was even funnier the second time around. After the movie, we hurried home and started on Kadyn's room. We finally finished at 7pm. Once we were done, I parked it on the couch for the rest of the night.
