Thanksgiving Point

Today I went with my friend, Stephanie, and her two girls to Thanksgiving Point to see the animals. It sure was hot, but it was worth it just to see how excited the kids got when they saw the animals. It was also great because it was $2 Tuesday. The kids got to feed some goats and ducks and also went on a pony ride!

Cabin Trip

This last weekend we went up to a little place Kevin likes to call "Heaven on Earth", his grandparents cabin. It is up in Smoot, Wyoming. It is such a fun place. There is no electricity, so its nice to actually get away and have no distractions. We had a great time. Here are a few things we did:

-Went for boat rides

-Went fishing

-Locked ourselves out of the cabin (luckily, someone had put a spare key on with the boat keys, but it was pretty scary there for a while)

-Our friends Trevor and Heather came to stay with us for a night and we played games

-Read

-Naps for everyone

-Lots and lots of treats

Potty Training (Week 1)

I decided last week that I was going to start potty training Jena this week. We went to the store and I let her pick out her own "big girl undies" and a treat that she could get every time she went potty. So, I started on Monday...and by Wednesday, I was about to pull my hair out!! It seemed like every time I put her undies on her, she would wet them almost immediately. At least within like 5 minutes of having them on. But I kept telling myself "No turning back! Just be consistent and keep working on it." And on Thursday, it seemed to start to click. She has done so good since then. Today was our first day that she has been clean and dry the entire day!! Yay!!! I know we will still have accidents and I'm not expecting her to be perfect at it, but I'm just so proud of her for doing so good today. We even went to Kevin's work and ran to a couple of stores, and she told me every time she needed to go. Yay Jena!

Today I left the room just long enough to put Drey down in his crib for a nap and came back to see Jena sitting in his swing!
