So I am very happy to report Trey is 100% potty trained!!!!!!!!!!! He was fine during the day and at nap without a diaper since January, but for the last week he hasn't even been wearing a diaper or a pullup at night!!!! I was going to wait for a little longer to share this information, just in case I jinx him and he ends up peeing in bed, but for the past two months he has only peed in about 5 pullups and now he just decided he doesn't even need to wear one at all...then this past week...totally dry!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy and I'm definately proud!!! Tucker was pretty easy to train, but with Trey I barely had to do any work....just a little bit of candy...a lot of nakedness around the house, but he really just decided he was done wearing diapers and pullups!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grapes...who knew???
Last year we dediced to plant grape vines because we wanted something to grow on what used to be a gazebo (only the metal structure is left standing...the fabric only lasted about 3 months). So we planted one on each side and the right one barely grew last year and the left one flourished...but neither produced grapes.
This year the left one is still healthy and huge and the right one is actually growing a bit more than last year....when the leaves started growing back we noticed what looked like little bunches of grapes, but they were so small, I wasn't really sure....today when I was watering them with the boys left over pool water ther were grapes.....a whole bunch of grapes...I'm excited!!!! Don't know what we are going to do with them because all the home grown grapes I have ever had have been really sour....but I'm just excited about the grapes growing!!! I actually never reall thought grapes were actually going to grow...who knew? ;-)
The left grape vine....
Can you see all the grapes??

The humidity has returned....
So I'm very sad to say that the humidity and heat has returned....We actually caught a break this year because the years past it is pretty hot and humid already in March and this year it didn't come back until this past week. The one really bad thing is on Monday we has horrible rains (about 10 inches overnight in our area) which brought the mosquitoes back in full force.....
The boys are excited to get back in the pool and sprinklers, but I'm sure not looking forward to the never ending heat and humidity of summer...that lasts until the end of October.....

STUFFED!!!!!!
We just got back from eating our way through the flea market. It was fun, but I am so stuffed!!! We didn't find anything good shopping wise, but we did get some good food....a bunch of fruit, watermelon, coconut, pineapple, and mango, some mexican candy, kettle corn (not the normal sweet kind, it has a little spice on it...it's the best), freshly cooked pork rinds, fresh roasted corn (one with butter and salt and one with Mayo and Spicy seasoning....you might think that it is weird..but it's SOOO good), and a smoked turkey leg...We got the turkey leg and corn to go because it was starting to get hot already......that served as our breakfast and lunch....YUM!!!!
