That's what time Jessica woke us up. All of a sudden I hear her voice and she's standing in our bedroom door saying, "I need to sit on the potty." I jumped up and hurried her into the bathroom where she did indeed have to go potty. I was VERY surpirsed that she actually woke up to go since we've only been potty-training less than a week!
And she's been doing AMAZING!!!!! She's been wearing "big girl panties" (with Dora on them, of course!) since Friday and has only had three accidents...one was first thing that morning which I expected and the other two were simply because we didn't make it to the bathroom in time. She's already wearing her panties at naptime and staying completely dry, and even though she does wear a pull-up or diaper at night, she's been keeping them dry on most nights too!
I never imagined I would have so many emotions over potty-training! I'm so, SOOOOO proud of Jessica for doing so well! I'm excited cause our budget will benefit from not having to buy that many diapers or pull-ups anymore...or maybe none at all....which means more money to save or spend on other things, lol!! And I'm a little bit sad realizing that she's not a baby or even a toddler anymore....she really is growing up on us!

About Us
We are the Moore's...Rachel (29), Jeff (29), and our beatuiful little girl--Jessica (4).
He is a MA2 in the US Navy and I am a stay-at-home mom.
We are a military family and everything that entails: pride, frustration, loyalty, insanity, and strength.
We have been happily married for eight years, and although we don't always see eye to eye, we couldn't imagine ever being with anyone else. I never thought that our three-month junior high romance would turn out like this. Even though he says he knew right away and was determined to always be there, even if it was just as a friend, it took me several years before I finally opened my eyes and realized what had been right in front of me the whole time. One day when my daughter asks me, "Who was your first love?", I can look across the room and say, "He's sitting right there."
In June of 2006, we were blessed with the arrival of a healthy, beautiful baby girl! We were ecstatic to finally become parents, especially since it took us two years just to get pregnant. From that very first day, Jessica Rylee wrapped us around her finger and became the center of our world. She is now a non-stop whirlwind of energy....a sweet but sassy, talkative, and very opinionated child! She is our angel...our everything!
We've been trying to add to our family for over two years now, and hopefully we'll be able to give Jessica a little brother or sister soon.

Our Angel
We made a wish;
it came true.
Our sweet child,
it was you!
it came true.
Our sweet child,
it was you!
They say you can't measure happiness. I say she's about 35 lbs and 3 1/2 ft tall.
About Me
Just Another Day in Paradise
The kids screaming... phone ringing...dog barking at the mailman bringing that stack of bills - overdue. Good morning baby, how are you? Got a half hour...quick shower... take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour. My funny face makes you laugh...twist the top on and I put it back. There goes the washing machine. Baby, don't kick it. I promise I'll fix it...long about a million other things
Well, it's ok. It's so nice. It's just another day in paradise. Well, there's no place that I'd rather be. Well, it's two hearts...and one dream. I wouldn't trade it for anything, and I ask the lord every night for just another day in paradise
Friday, you're late... guess we'll never make our dinner date. At the restaurant you start to cry. Baby, we'll just improvise.
Well, plan B...looks like Dominoes' pizza in the candle light. Then we'll tippy toe to our room...make a little love that's overdue...but somebody had a bad dream. "Mama and daddy, can me and my teddy come in to sleep in between?"
Yeah it's ok. It's so nice. It's just another day in paradise. Well, there's no place that I'd rather be. Well, it's two hearts...and one dream. I wouldn't trade it for anything, and I ask the lord every night for just another day in paradise.
And I ask the lord every night for just another day in paradise!

We Weren't Crazy
We headed out to California. Everybody tried to warn us...said we wouldn’t make it any further than that worn out Chevy would.
We broke down a time or two--thought “maybe we didn’t think it through.” We were all we had to turn to when it wasn’t lookin’ good.
We coulda set it down when things got tough....coulda walked away from this love. We turned out right and proved them wrong...look at us still going strong.
Lookin’ back laughin’ ‘cause they called us crazy.
We were young, we were wild, we were restless...had to go, had to fly, had to get away....took a chance on that feelin'. We were livin’ for the minute we were spinnin’ in.
Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy!

Living Our Love Song
Oh darling, would you look at me with my heart beatin' fast, and my shaky knees. It's pretty hard to believe after all these years, I still need you this badly.
You're dancing in my arms with a spotlight moon and a sea of stars. Oh girl we've come so far..... everything I want is everything that you are.
Baby just look at us, all this time and we're still in love...people said it would never work out, but living our dreams, we shattered all doubts.
It feels good to prove 'em wrong just livin' our love song.
You're dancing in my arms with a spotlight moon and a sea of stars. Oh girl we've come so far..... everything I want is everything that you are.
It makes me reminisce back to years ago on a night like this--teary eyed as you took my hand and I told you I would be your man.
So many things have come, so many things have gone. One thing that's stayed the same is our love still going strong.
Baby just look at us, all this time and we're still in love...people said it would never work out, but living our dreams, we shattered all doubts.
It feels good to prove 'em wrong just livin' our love song.
What is most valuable is not what we have in our lives but who we have in our lives.
The most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or even touched; they must be felt with the heart.
