Potty Trained

Mason is officially potty trained. As for my tactics since everybody has asked me, it really wasn't one particular way. I would try one and he wouldn't follow it according to the plan the books would say so we just kinda did it our own. He already knew what the potty was and what he was suppose to do in it since we let him watch us and then he had a potty movie so that was pretty easy. The hardest was him initiating he needed to go potty and he knew he wasn't suppose to go in his pants so he thought it was cool to just go in his pants, put his clothes in the hamper like i showed him and get a new pair of underwear on and act like nothing had happened. Although that's not what we wanted, I was proud he knew it was not okay and tried to fix it on his own. Thanks to my friend Brittney she suggested we just take away the diapers completely and that was pretty much when he was trained. I decided to make a potty chart and when he went ten times in a row and put a sticker on Toodles (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) he got a dollar store prize. After he completed the whole thing I took him to the store and let him pick out a nice toy and surprise he chose yet another truck. This time a cement truck, a typical boy! He has an occasional accident and struggles with #2 in the potty still, but overall he is great and can tell me when he needs to go! I love not changing diapers and especially love not paying for them!





CELEBRATING!

Eclipse

Okay I came across this background and I had to have it in celebration of Eclipse coming out on the 30th! I did read all the books, gone to all of the premiers, and own both on DVD, so I guess you can call me a Twilight fan! Although, I am not a crazy person obsessed with it- I would have to say go Team Jacob!

Past week of Fun

Happy Anniversary-
Its hard to believe Parker and I just celebrated our third anniversary together! It has gone by so fast, and although marriage is definitely hard- it has totally been worth it!! We headed up to Park City just for the night. We went shopping to all the outlets and suprisingly found nothing that was worth buying! After headed to the hotel for a nice needed nap then headed for a night out. We went to dinner and realized the Lakers and Celtics game was on so we went specifically where we could watch it. After we decided to head to this bowling alley which is actually the coolest place ever. It was a brand new place almost like a club but with pool tables, bowling, a DJ, Bar (but some how it was still family friendly) and tv's around the entire place. Next time your in Park City you should check it out! We bowled in a private place and the entire wall was a tv playing the game. I won bowling (like always)with two strikes on my 10th bowl and Parker won in pool- of course. After we went to the movie the Killers. Parker was nice to go to that for me and I really liked it. He said it was alright, but he hates literally anything with romance. We went back to the hotel and slept in, at least until the first world cup soccer game, watched it and packed up! It was so fun just to get away for a little while. Thanks kel for watching Mason for us!

Watching the game...Go Celtics! (I really hate both of the teams but I am so sick of the Lakers!)

Getting ready to bowl

This is where we were, there was only four lanes in the private room and yes that is a huge tv with the game on. It was decked out with lights and leather chairs and they brought us drinks...if we drank!
Idaho definitly needs something like this!

This was part of the place to the left you cant see is where the bar is, the dj is on the right with a bunch of pool tables and far in the background is the main bowling area with tv's all over.

Petting Zoo-
For family night last week we headed with our friends the Pond's to the petting zoo at Thanksgiving Point. Nate is the goalie for UVU and Alexa is the only other married Mom on the team. They have a little boy Landon thats almost two so perfect for a little buddy for Mason. We have lots of fun with them. Mason wanted to ride on the ponies so bad, it was so cute! I thought he would be scared but he wasn't at all. Natural Cowboy! Here are some pics!

Camping...in the cold!

For Memorial Day Weekend we decided to head up to good ol Idaho. After work on Friday we drove up and stayed with Parker's family that night and then with the bad weather decided to stay another day in Idaho Falls. Sunday morning we drove up to a very cold Island Park and camped with my parents. Parker took Mason fishing although didn't work out to well since Parker fell in the water, needless to say fishing got cut short! We had fun, but we wish it could have been warmer. Here are a few pics.

p.s. Mason is officially potty trained, post soon to come!








We were in West Yellowstone and stopped at the hotel with the train in it specifically for Mason. He loves trains!
