A proud wife and frustrated mom

I am so proud of Drew. He got his acceptance letter from U of U and he also got his certificate for making the Dean's List. He has been doing so good working full time and going to school full time. I know I couldn't do what he is doing and I am so proud of everything he has accomplished. Keep up the good work sweety.

I have been potty training Landen for a little while now. I started about a week before we went to Arizona. Then while we were in Arizona he was doing so good. Hardly any accidents and he was waking up every morning with a dry diaper. I was so excited, I thought he was almost potty trained. We got home and for about another week he was still doing good. Then Drew went back to work and it all went down hill from there. To sum it up he is no longer going potty in the toilet. We are having to start all over and I am getting so frustrated because I know he knows how to go potty in the toilet he just doesn't want to. Potty training is not fun!!!

Landen is such a funny kid and comes up with some of the weirdest things. His new thing now is to come up to me and turn around so his back is to me, squat down a little and point to his bottom and say "Mom look, farted". Like I want to see that you farted. I have no idea were he got that from.

Dade is getting so big he is rolling over all the time now. As soon as we lay him down he is rolling over to his stomach. He found his feet the other day so now he loves to play with them. He is not gaining weight like he should be though so we are trying to figure out what is going on. One of his Kidneys is still a little swollen so we are getting ready to go see a specialist about that. That could be affecting his gaining weight. But he continues to get taller everyday.

We had a really good 4th of July weekend. On Friday we went to the Planetarium. Then on Saturday we went to the Hot Air Balloon Festival (we tried to go on Friday but got there a little late so we went again on Saturday), a wet land preserve (for one of Drew's classes), then watched fireworks that night. We all had a fun time. Here are some pictures. On June 27th Lehi had a parade for their Roundup days so here are some pictures from that too.

That was almost all of the balloons, I think there were 16 or 17.

We woke him up kind of early so he was still sleepy

The balloons flew right over us.

Having fun trying to find birds at the wet land preserve.
