Dropped my baby off at sleep away camp today. The same camp @mbranstad and I attended as kids. It is the first night and I’m already looking forward to picking him up Friday to hear about how much fun he had!Loving father, caring son, trusted spouse and loyal friend - @mbranstad has it all! Happy Father’s Day to the man who always makes a splash wherever he goes. We love you!We had quite the weekend, complete with the boys checking out @catholicyouthcamp, brunch at @tupelohoneycafe and rounded it out with Brookie’s dance recital.Ice cream with the cousins to celebrate Fitzie’s last day of school. Kindergarten, here he comes!It was Everett’s turn to take the field last night. ⚾️ I love watching this little lefty play!First and only joint Puppy Dog Relays for the Branstad boys 🐶🐾It’s baseball season and Fitz couldn’t be happier!God bless Everett Meyer ✝️ Especially after the great bell ring of 2022 🤦🏼♀️🐰🐰🐰🐰-

Looks like a fun 4th! We are desperately trying to potty train right now too so I am open to anything that worked for you! My daughter went almost ALL DAY yesterday in underpants without any accidents, but then woke up this morning and just wasn’t feeling it and refused to put undies on. I work full time, so it is hard getting her into a potty training routine since she is at someone else’s house during the day. She is definitely smart and aware enough to do this, she is just very choosy on when she wants to participate!
Everett is 3.5 and was ready, just needed some hand-holding and incentives. We did a potty chart, m&ms, prizes and a lot of praise. He pretty much ran around with just a tee and undies for four days straight. He had his first day back at school today and sat on the potty but didn’t go all day 😬 Went as soon as he got home though. Still a work in progress for sure.
I think we need to jump on the potty chart wagon. She loves Mickey so some Mickey stickers might be the thing to do the trick!
I can send a personalized one to you if you’d like for your daughter. Not a big deal!
Nice pictures of your family Hope to see your family at reunion in August on Grandma’s birthday! Love your cousin Troy Haas
Yes, we will all be headed your way for the reunion. Can’t wait!
Where was the pictures taken of the cows? Are you guys wet in Iowa? We have been blessed with a lot of rain buy unfortunately hail came with it. Todd and. Your dad got all of their. Wheat hailed on but one farm. Todd is still cutting .I am putting up hay.
Yes, the cattle are on a small farm that we pass on the way to the lake house. Everett loves to stop and roll down his window to talk to them. We got storms last week, but are drying out now. Dad told me about the hail – such a bummer!
