Potty Trained...Finally!!

I think we can finally say this boy is officially potty trained!!  It only took a month of serious effort on our parts (no I don't believe in 1 or 3 day potty training methods!) and lots of bribery but now I think he has got it down!  It is so nice not having to buy dipers for 2 kids!

 Way to go big man...we are super proud of you!

Feeding the Ducks

Another thing we love about summer is feeding the ducks at Salem Pond!  We have been saving our bread and finally made some time to go down and see the ducks!

 Last year there were ducks and ducklings everywhere we went...this year we had a hard time finding some ducks to feed and these were the only baby ducks that we saw.  We did manage to get rid of our bread pretty quickly...especially because Paxton was feeding it to them a half a slice at a time!

 As for Tegan...that kid does not like to be tied down or strapped in to anything!  He spent his time being silly and trying to find a way to escape the stroller...luckily he was not successful!

Camping in the Backyard

Summer is quickly approaching and we are so excited!  Andy is convinced that we are going to do some serious camping trips this summer...I, on the other hand, am not so convinced!  Andy decided to do a practice run with Paxton and set up camp in the backyard!

They built a fire in our fire pit!

 Paxton got all of his bedtime supplies...his blankie and his friends he has to sleep with (about 5 stuffed animals)...

 The pitched the tent and set up camp!  Unfortunately since we live so close to the canyon we get a canyon breeze most nights...that night the breeze turned into a major canyon wind and Paxton was not about to sleep out there with the wind howling!  Andy and Pax spent about 30 minutes setting up camp...about 15 minutes "camping" in the tent...and it took Andy about 30 minutes to get it all taken down and put away.  Oh well, at least it was fun while it lasted!
