POTTY TIME!

So we had potty success yesterday! Stella went potty in the toilet FOUR times yesterday! She has been very interested in the toilet since she got her first pair of "Big girl panties" from Grammy, so we have been putting her on the toilet every two hours to try to get her to form the habit. However I am open to any potty training advice, or warnings, that anyone has!

Our trip to the Dells

You can tell how behind I am on my posts as I am FINALLY getting pictures from our trip to Wisconsin Dells July 28- July 30! Ryan, Stella, & I spent a very relaxing three days hanging out and visiting LOTS of animals, swimming, and just spending time together as a family. Here are some picture highlights!

Heading to Stella's first Dells Duck Boat ride.
Feeding the deer at Wisconsin's Wild Deer Park.
Getting ready for Stella's first Circus Performance at Circus World Museum in Baraboo, WI
Stella and Ryan going down the waterslide for about the 25th time in a row!
Eating at Moose Jaw Pizza & Brewery. The whole family highly recommends this restaurant if you are in the Dells!

Time is a flyin!

I don't know about anyone else but summer if flyin' by at the Paske house! I would try to explain what we have been up to lately but I always feel pictures do a much better job at explaining things!

We visited SVJ Designs a great little garden statue shop between Plainview and Wabasha. Stella loved getting down and talking to each of the "animals"! (Also note the pigtails as I have not had another day where she has left the pigtail in for more than 20 min!)

We have replaced the carpet in our entire upstairs, excluding bedrooms, with new hardwood laminate! Definitely helps update the house!Still working on potty training, or at least sitting on the toilet for more then 10 seconds. (I am quite sure Stella will HATE me later in life for knowing that I have posted this picture to! :)
Hanging out basking in the sun with Lola on a lazy Saturday morning!
Last but certainly not least walking around the house in the house in our new favorite Octopus outfit accessorized with Mom's peep toe heels! I have to say as a Mom I am pretty proud of how well Stella has mastered walking in heels!
