Camping

We went camping up Smithfield Canyon with some friends. It rained most of the time, but was still pretty fun. Well except for the lake in the bottom of the tent.

We tried to drive up to Bloomington Lake. We spent hours trying every road we could, but all ended just like this one.


We spent one of our afternoons playing in Bear Lake and eating Raspberry Shakes. It's never too cold for a shake.
The kids playing in the water. Way too cold for me.

I go pee pee

Who could think that potty training could be so exciting? Not me. I started training Ellie yesterday and was completely frustrated by a morning of peeing on the floor. It didn't help that I had about 9 extra kids over for Mags birthday party either. I didn't give up thanks to Korie and the evening was a success. Today has been great except for the last hour because I have been trying to blog. Ellie is so excited when we cheer for her after she goes potty. She has even had a poo in the potty. What a big girl. It is a good thing it has been so rainy because I found the best method of training has been to watch tons of movies and hold her on my lap and than set her on the potty every half hour. It's amazing. She is loving it. She is finally getting it down and will bring me the potty after she goes to the bathroom and tell me "I go pee pee".

Margaret is Four Years

I'm a little late because really I am quite burned out with 3 birthdays in 2 weeks. Wow. After a bunch of parties, I am glad to be done. Well what can I say about my cute little Mags. She is a cute little girls who insists on dressing herself. She comes upstairs with the funniest outfits that totally clash and says pink shirt/pink skirt, see mom they match. Though what she doesn't realize is that a skirt with red plaid and a pink striped shirt don't really match, but that's okay. Mags is full of trouble. She is a little leader and loves to play with friends. She is naughty, but sweet. And she really doesn't love having her picture taken and ususally hides from the camera.

We Love you Maggie Gene!
