So I am a total slacker- I know! So at this point I just do a bulk update and hope to not be such a slacker before the next post. SO, this is what we have been up to:

First and foremost- my adorable little sister, Robin, came to visit for Easter. Brecken LOVED Robin and I was replaced as 'mom' for a few days... quick story: 3 AM- we hear Brecken call out, "ROBIN, I have to go POTTY!!!" Lane and I fell apart laughing, straight out of sleep. It was the most random thing EVER- adorable!!!

Thanks for visiting- Brecken loves you!!!

And what would Easter be without a new pretty dress- doesn't she look pretty?!!!

And of course, the Easter Bunny... who she HATED and FREAKED out when she saw. After that she kept repeating that she didn't want the Easter Bunny to bring her a basket (but later added that she would allow him/her to bring her a dress)!!!!

& then there was the egg hunt- which we still do randomly at our house.

Aren't her little friends cute? This is Maylie and Jackson- Brecken thinks they are hilarious. She likes to sit back and watch- then decide if she wants to join in depending on the level of craziness!

& here's us!

Best friends! Stacia and I bought year passes to the Gilbert House- this was our first time going & it was a hit!

End of April we went to the Tulip Festival, which is gorgeous! The Utters, Watkins, and Sellers mom and kids came too- way fun!

And lastly, we went to the U of O Ducks scrimmage. Lane has season tickets, but I wanted to go to this with Breck because it was free- meaning we could leave at anytime! It was soo much fun, besides the monsoon weather. By mid-game it had dried up and we went back outside to watch. Brecken loved when we went and sat in front of the cheerleaders. She called them 'dancing princesses', but she got shy when one came to take a picture.

The Mr. & Mrs.

Kimberly Johnson became Mrs. Kimberly Foulger on March 18, 2004... Today is our 5 year anniversary. So much has happened in these five years- I can't believe how time goes. Note: This is our "song"

Lane- I love you! You are so wonderful. Thank you for all you do. You are such a wonderful husband and father. I made a good choice! I love you, I love you, I love you. XOXOXO

I'm a Big Girl Now!

I can't believe it! My baby is in a big girl bed- it's kinda sad! How cute are these pictures. My plan when Lane brought the bed home was to keep it in the garage until I was ready. I mean, Brecken has never tried to climb out of her crib, and is soo good at bedtime and naptime. Why chang it?! But, when Brecken saw that bed she was determined to sleep in it. How could we refuse?

She loves the princess bedding- of course!!!

We got the bed on Monday. The first night she stayed in it all night (we told her that if she got out, even once, she would have to sleep in her bed- I know, we're mean! But it worked!!!). She even did great for her nap yesterday. And stayed in bed all night last night- amazing! It is soo nice to have our bed to ourselves again- it was pretty squashed! But I can't believe how big she is. Since Christmas she has gotten rid of her binkie, been potty trained, and now in a big bed. CRAZY! My little baby is all grown up!

Brecken is showing off her new Sleeping Beauty barbie after filling up her potty chart. She is amazing- fully potty trained (very, very few accidents)!!!

Our summer hobby





Lane got a new bike so we finally get to go biking again! Brecken loves it- she just sits back and plays with toys the whole time. The weather was beautiful, but it didn't last long!


Snow- weird turn in weather, but heck- we took advantage!


Brecken feels beautiful in her "Sleeping Beauty" dress and wanted a picture





Dustin and Deon went to CALI, and what do they bring Brecken back from Disneyland???... a lolipop as big as her head. She was in HEAVEN!

Potty Trained

The title says it all- potty trained, not training!
Last week we I went to Walmart to get another box of diapers ($$$$)! I decided to try the Pull-ups idea which I always thought was the dumbest thing, but they princesses on them. On Friday I took Brecken to Target. She sees this "wedding dolly" and wanted it soooo bad. I told her that if she went pee-pee and poo-poo on the toilet and kept her underwear dry I would buy her a special surprise. That was a tall order, but Monday morning I asked her if she wanted to wear a diaper or underwear. "Underwear!" was the response. We talked about the special surprise if she kept dry. She talked about her wedding dolly all day. Brecken was soo good about telling me when she had to go.

*11 o'clock comes- still dry.
*Nap time comes- she wants to keep her underwear on.
*After nap time- still dry.
*3 o'clock- still dry.
*Lane comes home- still dry.
*Eat dinner- still dry!

*Go to Target to get her special surprise wedding dolly. "I have to go potty!" Granted, we are all the way across the store (as far away as physically possible- literally). I pick her up and run. "Don't have an accident- hold in your pee-pee" We arrive at the bathroom(public restrooms- YUCK!). Brecken, "I don't like it!" referring to the toilet. We beep Lane on the phone and tell him to go get the toilet seat from the car. She still wouldn't do it. So we buy the toy and race to Dave and Delpha's. By the time we got to the bathroom, she had accident. We couldn't make her feel bad. She worked so hard, finally gets her reward, and then the dumb public restroom grossed her out so she ends up having an accident(thank goodness pull-ups are working for "underwear")! Poor thing! We kept telling her how happy we were and how big she was! She must have liked it because she kept dry again today (except one accident that was totally my fault for not being within hearing distance)!!! Yeah for Brecken, our Big, BIG girl. I can't believe it!

Doesn't she look bigger already?! She loves her wedding dolly!

Brecken is officially 2 1/2 today- I can't believe it! She is soo wonderful & we LOVE her. Every time we look at her we can't believe how HUGE she is- it's amazing. Now we understand why people always say it goes really fast soo soak it up! It don't know if I have soaked it up enough. Sometimes I wish I could turn her back to a baby, even just for a day, & just hold her. She is so big now that she doesn't want to rock. For bedtime, we read one book and try to rock for a couple minutes but Brecken always says, "I uncomfortable- put me in my bed." NO JOKE- that comes out of her mouth. More proof that she is no longer a baby.... no more binky. The day Deon brought baby Londyn home from the hospital Brecken wrapped up her binkies and gave them to Londyn. No tears- not even one & she loved her binky. She has done great- it has been 2 weeks. I guess she felt it was a good cause, although she sometimes say, "She need give them back"! Hopefully she won't resent her new cousin!
This is her last suck on her binkies- had to get a picture!


This is what happens with no nap after 11 o'clock church. 1st time passing out at home anywhere but her bed.

So Brecken has been loving Dr. Suess, Green Eggs and Ham. Last Wednesday I asked her what she wanted for breakfast, and she replied, "Green eggs and ham". When I said okay she was soo excited. I was noxious cooking them- it's just wrong!


"Thank you soo much" she kept saying. LOVED them!


It is always dress-up time at the Foulgers--- all Brecken's ideas.
