Change






Well a lot has changed since my last blog entry. Eva started walking last Monday, and she is walking sooooo well. She should have started walking a month ago, but was to chicken. JJ has been day time potty trained for about a year, this week we started the night time training. He is doing pretty well, the last two nights he's been dry! JJ also got his haircut, I love it! He hasn't started preschool yet, but he will on Sept 8th, so that will be a big change for us. Spencer has returned from Peru, he was gone 10 days, and we really missed him!!! Since Spencer has been home he and JJ have started reading lessons, JJ has been so excited about his lessons, and is so proud of himself! We are proud of him too!

Family Time

Well, we've been busy, but we've managed to have a lot of family time. The kids and I went bowling with the cousins a few weeks ago, that was fun! On the 24th we went to the Buttlerville Days, we went to the parade, fireworks, and JJ got to play on all the fun bouncy things. I love Buttlerville days, there is a real "small town" feel to it, it reminds me of my childhood.
Since then we've been on two hikes, the Rocky Mountain Trail which takes you to a neat little waterfall. One evening we hopped on the Lake Bonneville shoreline trail, it's great because we walked to it from our house.
We also went the the Oquirrh Hills Temple open house with all the Grandmas and Grandpas, we had a good time!
Last Thursday we left for California. We went to Disneyland, Zuma Beach, and Newport Beach. The weather was awesome, and we had a great time. Well, maybe except Eva, she didn't like the beach, she sat there with her arms up in disgust. Eva also got a virus, and had a fever Monday-Wednesday. She seems a lot better today. Last night Spencer and I went out for an early anniversary celebration. Spencer leaves tomorrow for Peru. He will be doing humanitarian work. We will miss him! Aug 11th will be our 8th anniversary, Happy Anniversary!!!
