I dont even know where to begin..

Well ALOT has changed in our household since the last time I posted! The BIG thing is....drum roll....Ray is potty trained!!!!! One of the things that I was dreading the most was really the easiest! He pretty much just did it. He still wears a pull ups at night and he is almost always dry in the morning or wakes us up to use the bathroom. I was shocked at how easy it was and so proud of him! We also moved him into his "big boy" bedroom and "big boy" bed. We decided to paint so its really blue.
Before..

During..

Daddy and Ray driving his car bed, this bed Alvin's mom and dad bought at a garage sale a while back and has been though Dawn and Steve's kids and now Ray gets it. He really likes his car bed.

After, sorry its not a good picture.

Ray working those muscles..

Alvin and I celebrated our 18 year wedding anniversary on August 15Th. The night before, Ray stayed at grandma's and Alvin and I went to dinner. I really wanted to go shoot pool because its been forever since we did that, but I had an awful headache so we ended up going and renting some movies and going home. It was a nice evening!
Then this past weekend we planned a very spur of the moment camping trip. We decided to go the night before. It was so much fun. Ray really liked it. He has been before but he was only 7 months old and just started to crawl. It was fun getting some comparison pictures and I love to post those!
In jail, now and then...better be the only jail pictures he ever gets!


On the teeter-toter, now and then...


Swinging, now and then..


Man he is a cute kid, but he was a really cute baby! I cant believe how much he has grown!
That's it for now, but I will have more on our camping trip later!
Bye for now!
