Potty Time!

Very exciting day at our House... Ashley Pooped on the potty for the first time! Let me tell you, that is exciting to a two year old who gets star-burst's for doing it...and even more exciting to her Mom who buys and changes diapers! I really think if she will do it a couple more times, she will be potty trained in no time.

St. Anthony

We spent last weekend at St. Anthony. We camped and great campground right on the dunes. It had a wonderful playground to keep the kids entertained and Doug gave them all rides on his 4-wheeler. The other guys played with their RC Cars on the sand, until dad hit his into a water pipe and broke it. They spent the next hour or so fixing it. We also visited Mesa Falls which are always amazing to me. And on the way home we stopped at Lava Hot springs to go swimming. It was a fun weekend.

Fourth Of July Festivities...

The last few weeks we have been working hard on our yard... or I should say that Tom and the rest of the men have been working hard. They moved Tons of sod that we had on the side of our house to the back so that we could have a nice play area for the kids. Now they are getting the area's we tore out ready for concrete and a garden spot.

Thursday Night Grandma and Grandpa were brave enough to have the 5 oldest cousins come for a sleep over. They roasted Hot Dogs and Marshmallows and then pitched the tent to sleep outside. I know the kids had the best time ever, but poor Grandma and Grandpa didn't get much sleep!

Yesterday we spent time visiting with family and going swimming at the club. The girls loved showing off all their swimming skills to everyone. Later we had a barbecue and went to the fireworks. It's always amazing to me that after about 5 minutes the kids are bored to tears with the fireworks and start fighting harder than ever to stay awake. They hardly see any of them...

Today it's back to yard work! Poor Tom...
