Aaron at the Battlefield

Potty Excitement!

Courts and Aaron at the lake

Tonight, when I asked Aaron to go get a clean diaper because he was stinking up the joint, he said, "No, I have to go potty. I have to go peepee and poop!" So I went with him into the bathroom, thinking he was just stalling and not wanting a diaper change. He is NOT a fan these days. But he kept saying he had to go potty, so I took off his pants and diaper, which was full of poop, and he sat down and immediately peed on the potty! He was looking up with a big HUGE grin during that whole pee! Oh my I almost cried. It was so exciting! It's amazing how the smallest things our kids accomplish give us so much joy!
Let's see if he can do it again...

My last Tahiti layout, for the time being...

I have reached an obstacle with Tahiti pictures. I have now scrapped all of the digital pictures I have, including our very sad departure. Boy we hated to leave and come back to real life! Chris and I took A LOT of pictures with disposable cameras and underwater cameras. We went snorkeling a few times and went on a motu (island) picnic. I know we got them developed, but now I don't know where they are. I also can't find any Tahiti "artifacts" like papers form the hotel, receipts, plane tickets, anything. I am guessing these things are all together in this house somewhere. I have been looking a lot, but can't come up with anything! So until then...more summer fun layouts!

Bungalow Serenity

Pages 28 & 29, I'm on a roll! In and around our beautiful bungalow. We loved everything about the decor and we planned to make our guest room a Tahiti room when we moved into our new house in 2004. It has housed many a guest since then, all of whom can get a glimpse of the simple beauty of Tahiti.

How about another layout?

Pages 26 & 27, scenes of Moorea and the beginning of some shots of our overwater bungalow.

Tahiti Gorgeousness

Pages 24 & 25, just gorgeous stuff. We kayaked out away from our hotel and took some pictures of it from past "the dropoff". It is truly paradise.

Aaron doesn't understand when people leave...

So far this morning since the Rothe departure...

"Mommy take a bath with Cam-ran, washclofs, and play?"
"No honey, they went back home to California today."
"They sleeping?"

next...

"OH NO where Cam-ran's toys go?"
