THE LAST 2 WEEKS!

THE LAST TWO WEEKS HAVE BEEN GREAT! HERE ARE SOMETHINGS THAT HAPPENED...

We went Golfing for a FHE

Clay finished up summer Softball. There team did pretty good but didn't win the tournament.

My BEST FRIENDS from high school"CAKE"all were in town visiting and we got to have a girls afternoon out together. It was so fun. I love these girls they have all been wonderful friends. We have had such wonderful times together. And I couldn't have asked for better friends. I LOVE YOU! Unfortunately the only picture I got was of Caryn's little boy Greyson and my kids.

I love living in Spanish Fork because there are always fun things going on. They have a Stock Parade where all the horses go to the rodeo grounds. Katelin Really liked this. She would wave at all the rodeo queens as we went by.

And then we went on a fun little Family trip to EDEN Utah. Not too far, but it was fun. My dad rented some Condos and it was a blast. We did a lot of swimming went to the Air force Museum, the Dinosaur Park, and The tree house Museum. It was really educational.

And I turned OLD on my Birthday! My parents took us out to breakfast and then Clay and I went Golfing. I love having my own personal golf instructor. He is an amazing golfer and great at teaching me how to hit the ball just right. I just wish we would have golfed more before we had kids.

My pictures of the trip are in the slide show below

LET'S PLAY

I think this is fun and EVERYBODY is doing it, so lets join the crowd!
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together (Kristy, Clay or both). It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you! Reminisce away...

YEAH KATELIN!!!

So It is official... KATELIN IS POTTY TRAINED!!! Yeah KATELIN!

This has been an adventure, but We are there. Back in January we tried the potty training thing and she was doing great, but It didn't last. We went to Disneyland and when we got back she wanted nothing to do with the potty chair. Anyway we decided to give it another try. It all started the week of the 4th of July we were going to go to my parents cabin. They have a pool there that won't let you go swimming if you aren't potty trained, so we had to work on it. I put her in her panties and gave it a go... She had some accidents, but according to ELMO... "Accidents happen, That what they say. Accidents happen, night or day." :) Basically for that first little while I had to drag her to the potty every so often, but then she had an accident and she started to cry and said "I want my diaper." That's when I knew, she new what she was doing and there was no going back. We started giving her Popsicles when she was on the potty and books. We even put the dvd player in the bathroom so she could watch Elmo's potty time when she was on the toilet. I Want to give a BIG THANKS to Jill for the advise about leaving them in their underwear and not putting the diaper back on. I think that was the key! And thanks to Kristine for the pee pee and poo poo dances that was fun! Anyway it worked. The sad thing is I got deathly sick down at the cabin and we had to go home before we could take her swimming, but as you can see we made it up to her and took her to the Pool at home! Good job Katelin Mama is so proud of you!!!

P.S. CONGRATS to BRYCE and BRAXTON my two nephews who also just joined the potty chair club! I am so proud of you!!

Tytan's blessing day

This Sunday we blessed Tytan. It was fun day. Clay did a good job on his blessing. All my family and Clays family were there, except for Tony who is on his mission (but will be home in 4 months) and Grandpa who has been sick for a couple weeks. And FD Grandma Mathews who live in Cali. Tytan looked so cute in his little white suit and he was so good. He was awake during the blessing but didn't cry. He is such a good little baby and We are so lucky to have him in our home. Here are some pictures of our little party!

p.s. sorry Leah

One Month Already!

It has already been one month since little Tytan joined our family. He has been so sweet and such a good baby. I love him so much. He always has such a pleasant look on his face and he has such a sweet spirit. There is really nothing like a new baby. The spirit is so strong having someone so special who was just sent from heaven. Last night I asked him nicely if he would sleep a little longer because I have been so tired, and sure enough my little obedient child slept 5 hours straight and I slept so good. What a good little boy!

Since he is now a month old we decided to take him to church on Sunday for the first time. Here he is in the best sunday outfit we had for him.

ELK RIDGE CELEBRATION!

Clay was gone this last weekend for a golf tournament so Katelin and I went and hung out with my parents for the Elk Ridge city days. It is amazing how much it has grown. They had the funnest parade on Friday. (It was perfect... short and sweet and a lot of candy) Then on Saturday morning they have a fireman's breakfast where the firemen cook pancakes and eggs at the firehouse. Then they had all the fun and games. Katelin was the only grandchild there so grandma and grandpa bought a bunch of tickets just for her. She went down the big slide and jumped on the big blowup jumping thing, took a ride on the train a couple times and went on a pony ride. We had fun!
