This past week in pictures

I am a little behind on my blogging with pictures, so I thought I would take a moment and load the pictures from this past week.

First of all, Xander has learned how fun it is to help mom do everything.  Here he is "helping" me vacuum the floor.

Then on Friday my sister Emily came for a quick visit.  And since she was coming over my sister Chelsea thought it would be fun if her and Westin came and played games too.  Then my parents thought that since Chelsea, Westin, and Emily were going to be at our house, that they would come too.  So Friday night we had a little party at our house.  It was fun.

Here are pictures of Emily playing with Xander. 

Then Xander wanted a turn to take the pictures.  But he INSISTED that the camera go backwards when you take pictures, so instead of taking pictures of Emily and I we got a bunch that looked like this:

Then when I went to take a picture of him and Emily he wouldn't hold still because he had to come correct me and tell me I was holding the camera wrong.  He is so strong willed.

On Monday I started watching Paul again.  His mom FINALLY recovered enough to go back to work.  Xander was SUPER excited to have Paul back playing.  Here they are running through the sprinklers.

Then jumping on the trampoline.

Also, I went and picked up Mario Kart on Monday, so Tuesday morning Xander and I were playing it, and Jared took our pictures.

But the best thing of ALL is that we have now gone 3 days without Xander peeing his pants.  He is doing REALLY well at the potty training thing.  We just need to work a little more with him about going #2.  But all in all, he is pretty much there.
