A few funny things about Bricen

We were on our way to the beach and Bricen was talking about Chickens and he told Albert and I, eggs come from chickens. So I said,"well what comes out of cows" and he answered poop. That wasn't what I was looking for but he wasn't wrong either. He never cracked a smile but Albert and I sure did.
Albert has Bricen saying look daddy there's a hottie. So Saturday Albert and Bricen went to Sam's and on the way Bricen said, "daddy, mommy isn't a hottie" and Albert said, "you don't think your mommy is a hottie" and he said, "no her not have hottie clothes." So I am guessing all the hotties Albert is pointing out has daisy dukes and halter tops on.
We got to Bible School last night and Bricen was all upset because he had on blue jean shorts and a t-shirt. He said, "Mommy you forgot to put my church clothes on." He is funny about what he wears.

Bricen is potty trained!

I couldn't wait for Bricen to be potty trained but he was not ready until he had his mind set on doing it. I bought Mack the truck from Cars and put it up on top of the frigerator and we told him when he was potty trained he could get it. With Bricen going to preschool and my moms we waited until school was out so there wouldn't be so many people involved with trying to get him potty trained. So the first week he was out of school we started. Monday June 3 we started and it went great. It didn't take long and he had it down pat. He had about 2 accidents that week and I knew it was a great idea to wait. He had his mind set to do it and he did. So he got his Mack truck and he has been doing great ever since. I said potty training was the worst thing I had to get him to do and once he figured it out it didn't take but a few days. He wears big boy underwear all the time now. He doesn't even have accidents at night!

Insurance covered it!

We found out last week while we were on vacation that insurance was going to cover our stolen 4-wheeler. So we were happy with that news. Yes, it will probably make our insurance go up but it's better than being out that much money.
Here is a picture of the 4-wheelers we have for sale. The yellow one was mine and that was the one they stole. As Bricen says the bad people took it.

Beach Vacation - Ocean Isle Beach N.C.

We had a great week at the beach. We did a lot of nothing! Albert had his 31st birthday on Tuesday while we were there.

Our July 4th weekend sure went out with a BANG!

Bricen and I went with my parents, grandparents and my great aunt to Boone on Thursday. My aunt, uncle and two cousins were already there. We got there for lunch on Thursday. Bricen took his nap and GeorgeAnna, Ellen and I went shopping. We got back later that afternoon. We had a great dinner for my grandparents 56th anniversary. We headed home on Friday morning. We had a great time!
We had supper at home on Friday the 4th and then Albert, Bricen, GeorgeAnna, Ellen and I went to Lake Wylie to see the fireworks. Albert was a fireman that night so we got a front row seat to the fireworks and it was great. We had a great time.
Saturday afternoon we went to PawPaw Neil's house (Amy's dad). Bricen is calling him PawPaw Neil now. We had a cookout and a waterslide for the kids. Bricen had a great time and he was wore out.
We woke up on Sunday morning and someone has stolen one of our 4-wheelers that we had chained up in our yard for sale. They have been there since the end of May and havent been touched and they took it out of our yard while we were sleeping. $6,800 gone and we will probably not see it again. Homeowners insurance won't cover it. If you want to learn a lesson from this check your policy and make sure it covers everything you need for it to. We are re-evaluating our policy and making changes and adding more insurance. We have a lot in our yard that isn't covered. If you want to know the truth insurance is crazy. It's ours and in our yard but won't cover it. We have been very upset and what upsets me the most we were home asleep.
Hope everyone had a great and safe 4th!

Blogging Anniversary!
