Potty Training... Help!

Okay, Ian and I are having some set backs regarding potty training. He was doing really good and using the potty around 4 times a day. To reward him, I would give him an M&M and praise him. All of a sudden, he has stopped using the potty and refuses to even sit on it. Help! I do not know what to do. I have let some time go by because I have always heard not to force them, but he is not showing any renewed interest. I'm thinking of bribing him with something bigger (since the candy is not working anymore) but I'm not sure. Any advice would be appreciated. I would love to have him out of diapers before Elliot gets here! I am also thinking of making him wear his big boy underwear and it will be either pee on yourself or use the potty. Good idea?

My New Bling

Natasha Vaughn at Elegant Designs made this necklace for me. I looovvvee it so much that I wanted to show it to everyone. You can check out Natasha's website to see her other designs and to place an order of your own, just click on Natasha's Cakes on the right side of my blog. (She also does beautiful cakes.)

The Dekalb County Fair has been going on this week and we finally went last night. I usually hold out for the Warren County Fair since it is so much better (sorry Smithville), but Elliot is due the same week as the Warren Co. fair so I'm sure I won't be making it. Ian got to ride some rides and we watched Adam's cousin, Brandon, ride a bull in the rodeo. Have a great weekend!

Gone Fishin'

We were blessed with such beautiful weather this weekend, so we had to get out and enjoy it. Adam took us out on his fishing boat Saturday afternoon and we had a great time. Here is Adam instructing Ian on how to hold the fishing pole. Ian & I got to fish, but poor Adam was baiting our hooks or getting my line un-stuck constantly!

Ian caught a little fish, and he was so excited... except he wouldn't touch it or go near it!

Here is my bass that I am very proud of. We kept him and will be eating him sometime this week lol. I also caught 3 keeper blue gill and a small catfish that we threw back. Just call me BassMaster!

Our Fun on the 4th

We had a great time on the fourth! Brandie and her family came to our house early in the afternoon, and so us girls (Lauren, Brandie, and me) went to the Smithville Jamboree for a little while. We had a great time and saw lots of cute crafts. We then back back and everyone went swimming before having a cookout and fireworks. Unfortunately, our fireworks were cut short due to the rain, but we all had a great time. The last pic is obviously my preggie belly... I refuse to show any of the photos with my face in them because I was looking rough by the end of the day!
