Robert just called me, Kade's Diego potty came in today and he's been sitting on it for the last "15 minutes." ( Robert's idea of 15 minutes is actually everyone else's 5 minutes - but whatever )
He seems to be very excited about it - however he just wants to sit and point his pee-pee down for now, but I don't care, he can pee upside down as long as it's not in a diaper / pull up at this point.
I'll report back with hopefully good news later! ( and a picture!! )
Welcome to the world of The Beard Family of 5. I hope you enjoy your visit!

Hello.... some information please?!
So can you believe that Robert doesn't know what time he starts and his starting wage YET for Monday!???? It's freakin 5 days away! I've been having anxiety all week, I have some health issues that I can't deal with until Friday because this new doctor couldn't get me in, and now this... I can't handle much these days.
The positive: my kids are great and are so much each others best friends, it's amazing to watch and is exactly what I dreamed for when I found out I was pregnant with each subsequent child. I dread the day when they aren't this close, maybe it's possible they'll only go through little spurts of separation but will stay close most of the time?? We do so much kissing and cuddling and hugging and sharing - that doesn't have to stop when they get older does it?
This post makes me look crazy doesn't it? I feel that way today.

Unexpected Trip to California Adventure...
Cheryl called me at 3:45 ( like 4 times because I didn't answer, while I was getting a hair cut! ) on Friday and said that her 2 boys didn't want to go to Disneyland - and they had those park hopper tickets that were about to expire and asked if I wanted to take Kyla and Kade! For free? of course!!! So we threw ourselves together and actually went to California Adventure. I thought it would be horrible at first because Kade doesn't normally like all of the rides and characters but we had a fantastic perfect time. The weather was great, and we rode every age appropriate ride atleast twice with only 3-5 minute waits. I am so thankful that we go to test the waters like that. Cheryl brought her daughter Megan and the kids had a blast together. 1 of the pictures is horrible and you can barely tell what it is, but I had to put it in there so you could see them cracking up on the lady bug ride... we all were, we had no idea it was going to spin and jerk us around like that!

Dirt, popcorn and "where's Jack?"
First and most importantly - I am writing this because all 3 kids are in bed again!!!
Popcorn has always been a staple snack in our house, and now it's even better that Jack loves it. I just missed the picture of all 3 of them laying on their tummy's with this big bowl in the middle... but of course as soon as I grab the camera they have to change positions to say "cheese." The picture at the top is to remind me how cute Kade is because that is what saved him after he threw the popcorn all over the floor in the playroom!
This is a picture of the boys playing; "where's Jack?" We ask where Jack is and he covers his eyes - then throws his hands out as is to surprise us. All 3 of them went through doing that, and seem to think it's the funniest thing ever. The 2 boys are having much more bonding moments, I can only hope they are as close as Kyla and Kade are. ( Kyla still asks if she can be in Kades room - I feel so selfish for not switching them! )
We have this unlandscaped huge square trim of dirt around our basketball court in the backyard... Kyla and Kade love to dig in it and Jack just has kind of watched until today. This is what I walked out to! He had so much fun - he literally was throwing it up in the air like he would confetti or something and letting it fall on his face! Then I walked out and he was laying down in it... I bet he would love the snow, I wish we would have made it up there this year.

Did anyone else see those pigs flying last night?
my kids all fell asleep in their own beds before 9:30 last night! ( and the night before too... but not before 9:30 because Daddy was in charge while mommy was having margaritas )
Of course at 4:00 a.m. Kade comes into our bed - but I guess I can't ask for everything in 1 day.

Fun ( and exhausting ) weekend!
The birthday boy! ( who was constipated all day, then of course right before bed was a very happy Jack!! )
Kade doesn't eat cupcakes, he just picks the sprinkles off and eats those! (o:
Angie fixing Aubrey's hair after too much jumping.
My friend Amber and her husband Jim and girls!
Camryn watching the older kids having fun in the bouncer / slide!
Jeana and Abby at the party!
Ruby on the big slide
Trevor wanting to make sure he gets every bite (o:
We celebrated Jack's 2nd birthday party this weekend. We had a hot dog buffet, yummy margarita's, a bouncer that was a big hit and lots and lots of kids and friends!
We are so lucky to have so many friends to celebrate with, all of the kids seemed to have such a great time - I don't think I said more than 10 words to Kyla and Kade the whole day. We got an extra big bouncer with a climbing internal step and a slide that went down the side - I've never seen anything like it and my camera didn't capture the trail of children just waiting their turn to climb up the "steps"
The kids were jumping from the top to the middle of the slide, and doing somersaults down the slide, and going backwards, etc.. they are CRAZY! Kade was copying everything Brady was doing and was actually being daring - I'm so glad. He talked about Brady all night long!
Jack was in the bouncer all morning before the kids got there, and all night after they left... it was a little too active for him, he's not as daring as Taylor and Aubrey ( they are 1-2 months younger than him!! ) I wish I could have gotten a still picture of Jack after everyone sang happy birthday to him, the smile on his face and his clapping hands made my heart melt and the lack of sleep all worth it!
Everyone was SO generous with their gifts, Kyla and Kade even got b-day presents... I started out hiding them to make sure that they understood the concept of it being Jack's b-day, but of course that didn't last. We had a long night Sat. night and all day Sunday playing with the goodies!
