New Beds

 I finally found the "perfect" bunk beds on KSL for such a good deal!  McKell loves sleeping on top, and yesterday we took the crib down to make more room in their tiny room.  So Taylee is now in a big girl bed and doing great.  She got out once I put her back and she hasn't gotten out since.  Their room can finally fit the toys they have.

And for relief society we made these cute blocks, I thought it turned out super cute.

Heather Wins with the dirtiest face
We recently participated in the Foam Fest in Ogden with Jeremy's sisters and spouses.  What a BLAST!  For sure gonna do that one next year.  We got wet, muddy, and foamy as we ran a 5k at the Fort Buenoventura park.

Birthday Boy!




 (no I did not give him this black eye, he got it boating)

Jeremy turned the grand old 27!  30 isn't sounding so old anymore yikes.  We celebrated his birthday by going to the splash pad with his sister to celebrate her birthday :)  I wanted to go to the train station and decorate his car but since he ended up taking both sets of keys with him I couldn't go. BOO he must have knew I was gonna do something ;)  When he got home we opened a gift and off we went to IHOP (he loves there pancakes).  As you can see Taylee was tired and hungry and grumpy. haha  I love this boy of mine, and I hope his birthday was FUN!

Day 5 and 6

Day 5 was no better than day 4, she did awful!!!  I decided I was done then thought to myself what am I doing?  She poops in the toilet I am not done that is a big step.  So I pulled that diaper back off and went for it.  She had accident after accident after accident, I was in tears.  Jeremy had planned to go boating Friday with some co-workers so I decided I needed a break.  Thank heavens I have an awesome Mother-in-law that came to watch the girls and clean up accident after accident.  Boating was just what I needed I felt refreshed for Saturday.
Day 6
Taylee was amazing!!!!! She told me every time she had to go potty.  Not a single accident all day long!  Plus she stayed dry all night long.  I can't believe it, I would say my little girl is potty trained and I couldn't be happier.
Conclusion
The only way I can figure out what happened was those first 3 days we had timers all day long and by the 4th day the timer was an hour long and she had an accident before the hour.  So she had no way to figure out how to tell when she needed to really go and how fast it came.  So it took the 2 really really bad days to get that figured out.  Potty Training is not easy, to be honest I feel like its the hardest part of raising a kid so far haha  The reason I try to do it so young is I HATE changing diapers and so does Jeremy so I change 99% of them and I am sick of it.  Not to mention how expensive they are.

Day 3 and 4

Day 3 was a GREAT day, the whole day only 2 accidents.  She was really happy with herself each time she got off the toilet.
Day 4
Has been Awful!!!  I guess I should have known it was gonna be a bad day when she woke up at 5:30 this morning.  Way too early for me.  The only positive thing I can say today is she at least told me she had to Poop in the toilet.  I am hoping that a good nap will help things.  I tried taking the binki away today for the potty and..............haha I started a bad habit.  Oh dear.

4th of July

 Somehow the only person we got at the starting line was cousin Joshua
 And you can see how good he did haha
McKell took 3rd in her age group
Taylee took 2nd in her age group
I took 2nd in my age group
Jeremy took 3rd in his age group, I wouldn't say we did too bad
 This was new this year, they had a greased pole and it didn't matter how you got up there if you could reach the money you got it.  So Jeremy used his resources and found the tallest man there and he pushed him up so they split the $50 bucks


 Taylee loved the 4-wheeler wagons, she rode them about 10 times and super happy

 Of course they loved the pony rides

 Candy dropping from the sky
The awesome airplane they dropped all the candy.  
Went to Willard again this year for a good ole small town celebration.  The parade was amazing and actually lasted maybe 15 minutes. :)  Foot Races, Games, and I enjoyed a burger and fries at the park.  Taylee was not a fan of the fireworks, she kept her face hidden the whole time.  I could have guessed since she is super scared of the the pops, and everytime she hears fireworks she runs straight towards me really fast.  haha its funny.  McKell on the other hand loved them!
Had a great day and can't believe that was already 3 weeks ago time is flying.

Easter Dresses



We never got around to taking Easter pictures on Easter cause before church is a rush and after Church they are tired, hungry, and grumpy.  So a few months later I tried and as you can see no success again haha kids.  But this is their cute dresses.  Taylee's cost $2.00 I love sweet deals.
