Sonya is being silly, hanging out the playhouse window!
"Wow, mommy! This playhouse is huge!"
Sonya just ate something that was laying on the floor of the outdoor playhouse and I have no idea what it was. It doesn't look like it tasted good though... yuck!

Sonya loves her rocking fish! It sure has stood the test of time as all three of the girls have enjoyed this awesome toy!
So happy to be outside!
Zoe loves to swing! This is the next project, a new swing set! This one is going on 7 years!
Our new shed!!!!!
Ian is contemplating calling it quits for the day... Look at that nasty, ominous sky looming overhead!
Akela loves hiding out in the 2 foot gap between our two sheds. Sneaky girl!

Our strawberry patch is starting to yield some nice red juicy strawberries! Zoe is scoping out the good ones!
Looks like Akela found a few good ones!
First pick of the season! There aren't too many yet, but they will be flourishing soon!
What a goofball! Sonya steals Akela's sunglasses.
Ahhh jellies!!!! I used to have a pair in every color when I was a kid! I can't seem to find the style that I had though... blah! I came across a pair made by sketchers that were very similar but they cost like $30! I'm not paying $30 for plastic shoes unless they're Crocs (that's different)! The pairs that I bought for the older girls I found at Walmart and they were only $5 but I can't seem to find any other jellies anywhere! Seriously, jellies only cost a few bucks when I was a kid and you could get them everywhere! Ames, K-mart, Kids'R'us (whatever happened to that store?) and Jamesway (wow that's an oldie too), they all had them! Paired up with some spandex shorts under a neon pink and black polka dotted skirt, an over sized hypercolor t-shirt with a plastic ring thing to tie it off to the side, crimped hair pulled into a side pony tail with an enormous scrunchy and big hot pink hoop earrings, jellies completed my totally radical 80's ensemble! You know it's almost summertime when the jellies come out!
Sonya has been pulling up to stand on just about everything lately! Here she is on our new patio furniture set, trying to get on top of the table!

So, Sonya is 16 1/2 months old and has been showing interest in the potty! She follows me and her sisters into the bathroom when we need to go and she points at the toilet and says "potty" clear as day! She has even been telling me "poopie" when she has a messy diaper lately! This whole early potty readiness stuff has me a little freaked out since my older girls were older when they trained. Zoe was about 3 years old and Akela, well we just finished training her after her 4th birthday! I'm all for it if Sonya wants to do this, but it seems really early?! In the meantime I'm scoping out potties and oh yeah, I have to teach her that Akela's underwear doesn't go on her head!

I totally remember jellies! The girls are too cute, as always. Glad to hear the new shed is up and the bikes are out of your kitchen - that would drive me up the wall! :o) Okay, and I totally have pictures of both my girls with underwear on their heads - I'm thinking of blowing them up to 8x10 size for the mantel when they're teenagers!!
Ooooh jellies! When I was a kid, I had pink ones that were strawberry-scented...yeah, I totally thought I was the coolest thing going! Gotta love the 80's. Love the pics of your gorgeous girls! Awesome news about the potty...I say strike while the iron is hot! I've known plenty of kids who were trained by 18 months (not mine, unfortunately!!) The Baby Bjorn potty is perfect height for little ones and pretty inexpensive too.
First, the girls are totally adorable, as always!!! Love the matching outfits, too! Second, WOW with the 80s flashback, I had repressed the memory of the hypercolor t-shirts... Third, go for it with the potty, Sonya is probably more ready watching the other girls! BTW, thanks for making me feel a little better about Trace, who is 3 and has abosultely NO INTEREST in the potty. Grrrr.
I totally remember jellies! I had a bright kelly green pair. They were like flats but with holes cut out. Loved them! I also remember hypercolor t-shirts. They were the coolest. I wonder now at our age if they were cool-I doubt the guys could get away with putting hand prints on the front of our shirts.
As usual your girls are dressed to the nines and beautiful as ever. Seriously you have beautiful girls!
Preston is trained, but still having the occasional dribble/accident while on the playground and is in pull ups at night because some nights he is dry some not. But if Sonya is showing interest don't stop her. And she looks cute even with undies on her head!
Oh yes jellies! I loved them. Go with the potty thing...girls seem to catch on quicker than boys...that is great she has an interest and not even 1.5 years...awesome. Your girls are beautiful.
I just love all of the pictures of your beautiful girls!! I think Simon especially loves that first silly picture of Sonya! Such the cutie!
Yay for getting your shed painted and your new patio furniture!
Haha - ok, I've probably said enough in e-mails about our 80s style, but loved the jellies when we were kids!
Way to go, Sonya, on being ready to potty train! I started Simon right about 16 months too. Love the undies on Sonya's head! :)
Hugs!! We are thinking of you guys today!
Wow...what a blast from the past....JELLIES! LOL For some reason, my girls have never wanted any, but I did find a pair for Ellie. I love your new shed...it's so cute. BUT, not as cute as those sweet girls or yours! :)
hell yeah, jellies!!! i refused to where anything but jellies. i even wore them in the winter but my mom was clever enough to have me wear bigger jellies to accomodate tights and socks with them. moms are so very smart! love zoe and kaya's 2009 jellies, they are pretty hip, i must say.
