4 Days of Potty Training

Here are a few pictures from this week of potty training.  They have certainly kept us on our toes!  =)

 Charlee couldn't even make it through dinner.  By the way...these sweeties don't take naps anymore!  I MISS NAPS!

 Saylor pretending she couldn't make it through dinner.

 CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Potty Training SUCCESS!!

I'm knocking on wood as I'm typing this, but WE ARE POTTY TRAINED!!!  Charlee and Saylor have done AWESOME!  It's the end of day 3 and there were ZERO accidents today.  Yesterday they each had 2,but they were both poo poo's.  (Sorry if this is all TMI)  They're sleeping in a pull up and they do wake up wet, but I think we can live with that for a while as long as our days are great!  =)  WE ARE BIG GIRLS! ! ! !

We Are Big Girls Now!

We started potty training today!  We've decided to do the 3 day method and it seems that we've got it down in just one day!   I knew the girls were ready, but they've exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds!  We're doing a sticker-reward chart for every time they have a success (pictures soon).  Charlee had 1 and 2 half accidents today and Saylor had 2 accidents.  All of this happened within the first 2 hours of us starting and the rest of the time went AWESOME!  They both even poo-pood! ! !=)  Those get frog stickers!  (Ya gotta do whatcha gotta do)!  We'll see how the night goes.  They're in a pull-up, but they wore big girl panties ALL DAY! ! ! ! !  We are so, SO , so proud of our big girls!!!

Random Cuteness!

Loving on their new Minnie Mouse purse and glasses from Mrs. Emily and Mr. Trey!

They look so darn cute in these!

Christmas with the Green's 2011

Last Sunday, we had Christmas with Brent's dad's side of the family.  Pops and Mimi G hosted this year and we had it at Woodmont Baptist's East  Campus.  It was the perfect place!  It was so great getting to see everybody.  Of course, we wish we saw them more often.  Santa Claus also came to see us while we were there...HO! HO! OH NO!!!  The Green girls still aren't his biggest fans!  We didn't make them sit with him this year.  BUT, as Santa was leaving he came around to tell us bye and they did begin to warm up to him and told him their wish list.  I kinda think it had a little something to do with the big red bag of candy he was offering them.  =) 

Sweet Saylor

Cha, Cha, Cha Charlee

Addyson in her adorable tutu!

Jordyn checking out Santa's goodies!

Will was AMAZING with Santa!  Charlee's hoping Santa doesn't see her sneak a coloring book...

Get me away from him!!!!

Saylor just kept looking at me like, "Momma, seriously!?!"

Sarah Grace whispering to Santa...just precious!

Kensley did not want Santa either.  She warmed up later on too.

Thought I'd give it another try.

The big kids holding the little kids.

Catching up is fun to do!

It's been awhile...BUSY is the life of a teacher/momma/wife at Christmas!  As ALL of us are SO busy!  I'll slowly try to get everyone caught up. 

Dylan with Saylor reading.  HE LOVES HIS SAYLOR!

 The girls wearing Big's coats.

 Charlee looks like she's 6 years old here!  BOO for growing up way too fast!

 Saylor made herself a little laptop and even glasses.  She's incredibly creative!  =)

 I SEE YOU!

Shake your hips!

 Oh What Fun!

Laura's Birthday Party and Some Other Sweetness

We celebrated Laura's 32nd birthday on Saturday...it was a pajama party!  We had a GREAT time, ate awesome food and played, sang and danced!  Just a normal night at the Newbern's!  =)  The party did end with a bang, though...Saylor had gone into the kitchen and was running back into the living room to sing "Jolene" and she ran right into the edge of the kitchen table.  It hit just at her left eye/eyebrow.  It started swelling as soon as it happened, but now she just has a nice little bruise.  BUT, we had SO much fun before that happened. 

All the girls checking out the ipad. 

Charlee and Bailey "sleeping".

Saylor just wanted to play...she would not "sleep".

SILLY BAILEY!  =)

Madie putting on a spectacular puppet show!

At our house...we put up our Christmas tree on Sunday and they wouldn't leave it alone for the rest of the night.  It's a lot better now, but it was just way too new and fun.  I caught this little moment of them behind the tree.  If you know these two then you know who's who.  =)

Oh, Christmas Tree......

On Monday night we ATTEMPTED to get a Christmas card picture...we won't be using any of them.

Plex and Foofa had to get in on the fun, too.

At Big's house...
