Another beautiful day in Santa Maria

Ashton playing with the broom. One of his favorite outside toys.

Violet feels like a big girl on the trike!

Her little feet can barely reach the ground but she loves to push herself along.

We enjoyed a couple of days at Nana and Papa's house before a wedding and a memorial. The kids enjoyed some outdoor time. Violet is growing up so quickly and it's so cute to see her turn into a little toddler. Ashton is as active as always. He loves to sweep up rocks and uses the broom against the fence for who knows what?

Violet's 1st owie

Violet took her first nose dive and is the proud recipient of her 1st owie on her nose. Poor little girl! This is all per report of my parents since I was at work. She was pushing her lawnmower down our steepish driveway, it got stuck, and poor girl went down head first. Well, I am sure this is the 1st of many!

Just a regular morning

Just some insight into a regular day in the life of the Besmers. Violet is now walking and explores all of her surroundings. Ashton loves to watch TV and plays with all of his toys. The mess is a daily chore which the kids insist on pulling their toys out of their cubbies, pots and pans out of cupboards, and plastic containers frequently litter the kitchen floor. Oh the joys of parenthood!

Dare I say it???

Ashton is 2 years, 7 months, and 3 weeks and I think he may be potty trained!!! He has done #2 in the toilet for the past 5 days in a row! He has occasional pee accidents but that is usually after naptime when he is not quite awake yet. For the past week, he tells us when he needs to go to the potty and when he needs to go poop! Yeah! Cross my fingers that I haven't just jinxed him!
