I'm not sure if we are excited or worried... but potty training is going well. Parker finally decided that he wanted to be a big boy, and now he has gone almost two weeks of pooping in the toilet. However, big boys don't have to take naps... so at the same time, he has given up on naps. I'm not sure if I was really ready for this milestone! Changing diapers may not be that bad of a thing.... The new adventure is he is getting better at night as well. The last two nights he has woken up dry, but that is after he comes in 1-2 times during the night to wake us up to go with him to the potty. Between Parker and Ryan, staying up late to get work done, and this new baby not letting me fall asleep easily, it's a wonder if my eyes even close at night. How many more years until I can sleep again? Oh the joys.

I forgot to include the before for those of you who haven't seen my kitchen in person before (and for those of you who forgot what it looked like!
And for those of you who are thinking, 'Wow, it looks so light and fluffy - how fun!"
Yes, these are tire tracks from my car - and there is about 4 inches of ice underneath the tire track.
And to get this small amount of ICE shoveled off my steps so my friends and roommate wouldn't die, I spent about an hour shoveling.
But, at least once you come inside, you'll see that my cabinets are finally done! I still haven't put hardware on, but I have to convince my landlord to pay for that first. I think they turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself . . .
And here is my lovely kitchen table . . .
Now all I need are visitors to see it in person! I also have my new light fixture, but no picture yet. That will come later.

When you have sons, you quickly learn the following is possible . . .
1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.
2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
3. A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.5. You should not throw baseballs up when! the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.
8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9. A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.
10. Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4- year old Boy.
11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
12. Super glue is forever.
13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15. VCR's do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18. You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
20. The fire department in Austin , TX has a 5-minute response time.
21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
22. It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24. 80% of Women will pass this on to all most all of their friends, with or without kids.
25. 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

Mom told me that I need to post something, so I'll write about Becca's conference and our trip to AZ. Becca got her employer to pay the conference fee, so we decided to fly down to PHX. When Dad heard that we were coming down, he decided to go to Brazil. But, it's been fun keeping Mom up late and playing with Parker and Ryan. Unfortunately, everyone has been sick. Hopefully, Becca and I can go back to Utah without catching anything.
Well, there's my first blog on Moser Moments.

And the new table . . .
(I think 5 is all we are ever going to get around it, but it was fun to eat dinner at!)
And just in case you were wondering, these are my roommates. Not the best picture and they would kill me if they knew I was posting this. Rachel's on my left and Becky's on my right.
We are in the process of doing the cabinets now. I have the doors all sanded and the cabinets all primed. I'm hoping to be done by next week.
And in an unrelated subject - Robin's blog and read her "Waffle House Rock" post. It's all about a trip that we made out to Harrisonburg a few months ago.
