Potty Trained Champion




James you rock!!!! I can't believe how easy you were to potty train. I told myself we were not potty training until you were three but no matter how hard I tried to deny you of big kid-ness you started going into the bathroom taking off your diaper, going potty, flushing the toilet, washing your hands, going and getting me a diaper and asking if I could put it on. Fine... I guess its time. So, first the potty fairy came and dropped off some potty beans. Then you saw your cousin Corbin peeing in the toilet. Then I showed you your underwear...and that was the end of it now you are a big kid. Huge shout out to Sonia for being an "honorary member of the order of the potty trained" and helping to remind James it was time to go.

Other big news, my awesome brother-in-law Shawn got offered a professer job at BYU-Idaho. Go BYU. Go Shawn. Thanks for being such a great example of hard work and faith.

Spring has officially visited our house and we have been working hard in the yard. Bad news is that it still doesn't look like a botanical garden or temple square, good news is that my first daffodils of the year have bloomed (which Sonia and James promptly picked) that took a lot of restraint on my part, but they are now in a vase in our bedroom. I guess that will have to do.

I love spring, and life is taking on a new shiny quality. Things are going awesome around here. I love my family we have been having so much fun playing outside and working together.

Mike and the wicked witch of the west

Mike gets stuck in a tornado, his eyes go crossed, his wife starts a blog and they go uncrossed go figure.

Thats right, as I am typing mike is in a hotel in atlanta with tornado damage from the tornado that came in around 3 hours ago. He is safe but there are still 2 more coming and so I figure "nothing more exciting is ever gonna happen than this so why not start a blog" and I'm probably not going to get much sleep so might as well work on it now.
Actually it is a pretty great time to start up an on-line family journal. Some of the scrapes we get ourselves into can now come to life on the information super highway.
Hopefully mike can get out of atlanta tomorrow, but the weather may still be bad so if not probably sunday. CRAZY!!!!
