Bachelorette

Yes ladies... (and I know some of your husbands watch it too)... the Bachelorette started last night... and I think it's gonna be a fun one to watch this season!

I loved Jillian last season and I know I will love her more in this one! These are the top 5 I chose for her (in random order)...


Kiptyn... (love the name) I thought he should have earned the first impression rose... he was the only guy she actually went asked to come talk to her one on one... it's okay though cuz he'll be there til the end ;)

Juan... I loved him at first and I think she will too...but just from the way he was acting last night about the first impression rose I think he's gonna cause some drama

Michael... I REALLY didn't like him until he tried to teach her some break dancing and then I decided he might be fun for her.. i still think that a break dance instructor is a lame occupation though.. I don't know if I'll be able to get over that

Jake... he seems like a really GOOD guy (almost Mormon like if I dare say so) I think I'm gonna like how sweet and sincere he is... maybe a little too nice guy though... we'll see

Sasha... LOVE him! I don't know why yet but I have a feeling this guy will be around a while. They never showed them one on one talk last night but I have a feeling about this guy! He's my favorite so far!


What were your impressions?!

The 2 loves in his life...

Recently every morning when he wakes up I hear these words in the monitor... "Mama, (pause) cook!" and "Park (pause) Play (pause) Kick!!" I love that he loves to do these things so much and they are perfect for the weather here because one day it will be raining... so we will cook fun things (like cookies and cupcakes that we shouldn't be eating but we do cuz its fun!)

...and the next day it will be sunny... so we will spend almost the whole day playing at the park! Lucky for us we have such awesome parks here!

I love this little man! I never knew how much joy such a little guy could bring to my life!

What camera do you have?

So I'm in need of a new camera... a real camera... you know...the one that can take awesome pictures no matter how lousy a photographer you are! What camera do you have that you love and why?

3 years ago today...

...we walked out those temple doors happier than ever...

sealed to each other for eternity!

What a blessing it is to know we will be together as a family forever!
I love waking up next to you every morning... esp this morning cuz you had my favorite donuts and tulips waiting :) Happy Anniversary Babe!

potty training explanation

I should elaborate on the last post... Some of you have wondered how I knew he wanted to start potty training... well, last Sunday he ran away from me during a diaper change and I found him starting to pee on the living room floor (it's wood thankfully). So the quickest thing I could think to do was pick him up and run him to the toilet to let him finish. Well, he LOVED it! He thought it was so cool to use the toilet and insisted on going to the toilet all day. That is how it all began.... I thought it would be just a crazy day but he has kept it up since... I guess we'll see!

What do these 3 pictures have in common?

This crazy little boy of mine has decided on his own over a week ago that he wants to potty train! (I know it's over a year early but since he's willing, I'll let him) That means big boy pull up diapers and one comfy toilet seat and a very happy independent boy... well almost, he still hasn't figured out how to pull his pants up and down ;) But it sure has been nice not having to change a poopy diaper in 10 days! It has been a little more difficult though trying to find bathrooms everywhere we go... we'll see how long until he's completely trained! Stay tuned for when he graduates to big boy underwear!
