And again, and again, and again......Sydney is still potty training. We have spurts where it really is just easier for her to be in diapers and then it's easier for her to train. Last month the weather was so cold that she needed to wear pants. She didn't want to take off her bottoms and then put them back on, so we would fight every time we tried to go potty. We backed off for a while, but now the weather is very warm!! Yay! Which is great since she's also going through her naked phase. She'll keep the panties on but you can forget everything else. 
I've decided to pick and choose my battles so she can be naked at home, but she understands that she has to wear clothes when we go places or outside. This has made it infinitely easier! So far we've got a potty and a reminder timer and books to read while we are waiting. She thinks it's great and understands what the timer means and what the potty is, but doesn't quite get that "things" need to go in the potty. 
Still trying.........we'll get there......eventually........

This was a very good sized bird. I could go into details about how old it was, if it was a good fighter, and how much he had been breeding this season, but that might reveal exactly how much of a redneck I am, so we won't go there. 
When they brought the big boy home we took some pictures (as you can see) and my sister Beka (aka Carson) ripped some wing feathers out-southern girls, what can we say?
My dad took off the tail feathers so we can dry the spread and save it. No we aren't going to mount it. I'm not that redneck. Then he cleaned it. In a few weeks, when Jess gets back from some of his trips, we're gonna have fried turkey breast. (The breast is about the only edible part of the bird, the rest is too tough.) I can't wait. This is one piece of wild game I can have while pregnant, so i'm gonna enjoy all I can!
Syd donned her pretty new dress and grabbed her basket and all the kids took off. Sydney really got into this whole egg hunting thing. 
She even gathered eggs from an abandoned basket after all the eggs had been found!!!
Later we played with the basketball and Daddy helped her make some slam dunks. 
Then we got on the fourwheeler and rode around the yard a little bit.
