Going Potty? Already?

Cyrus has pooped in the potty 3 times in the last 2 days! Yay! He's so proud of himself, he claps and claps. He's started telling me when he needs to go and he really likes sitting there. What a boy huh? He's only 16 months old, so I'm not going to start pushing it for a bit, but I like the road we're on! How awesome would it be to have no more diapers to change?! On the other hand, does that mean we have to consider starting over with another one? Yikes! I'm not sure we should push him just yet! :)

By the way, the picture has nothing to do with the post, I just thought it was so cute! He loved Jessica's fainting goats!

Our Tribute to Michael Jackson!

May his dance moves last forever!

Big Summer Catch UP!

The 4th of July!

The Summer is almost over, and we've been so busy there's a lot to catch up on! We had a really fun 4th. Cyrus is so much older than last year, and he absolutely loved it. Especially the fireworks. He couldn't decide who to sit with because he wanted to make sure everyone thought it was as cool as he did! Funny kid.





Bear Lake!

We were also able to go up to Bear Lake with some of our good friends, and it was so much fun! Cyrus didn't mind the cold water too much, but he hated the waves. He mostly liked playing in the puddle of warm water. Travis and Spence spent most of the time digging a giant hole and playing catch with cups. I'm not sure if boys ever grow up! :)

The Cancer Walk!

In July we also had the Cancer Walk. We made Cyrus a really cute pink shirt that said, "I wear pink for my Grandma." And when I say made, I mean made. We could not find a boys pink shirt anywhere (Suprise suprise!) so we found a white one, dyed it pink, and made a really cute little iron on. It turned out more of a hot pink than light pink like I was expecting, but he looked really cute in it. We always have a lot of fun at the walk, and Cyrus loved playing with all the kids there. I posted pics of our night, and had to add the one of Jami holding Cyrus and Haizlee because it was so cute!

Father's Day Weekend

First, I wanted to wish a belated father's day to all the guys reading this. We had a fabulous fathers day weekend. On Friday, Travis took the day off and we spent the day with my family. We first went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. It was a beautiful day, and it was really fun to see the temple with my family. Everyone was able to come but my brother and his family since they have a brand new baby. My parents are very knowledgable about church stuff, so it was fun to hear the things they had to say about everything there. After our tour we had lunch, then hurried off to the Manti pageant. I was afraid it would be a really long drive for poor Cyrus, but he'd gotten the majority of his energy out at the temple and after filling up at lunch, he was exhausted and slept the entire way there. The pageant is always really fun. We had lots of treats and played games while we were waiting. We drove home late that night after it was over. Trav and I were in the front (he's a bit more of an aggressive driver than everyone else, ha ha) and we saw so many deer in the canyon we were afraid someone might hit one behind us. As it turns out, my parents and grandma made it all the way to bountiful before a deer ran into them on the freeway! I couldn't believe it. He ran into the side of the blazer, but besides scaring the crap out of my mom and grandma, all he left behind was a little blood where he bounced off! My dad didn't even wake up!

Then on Saturday we had planned on the grandkids taking my dad out on a date for fathers day. Its always hard to shop for him, and he absolutely loved spending the day with all the kids. We went to the zoo, and if you remember it rained most of the day, but we still had a blast. Cyrus was enchanted with the monkeys. He laughed and laughed as they ran around in front of him. It was really fun to spend so much time with my family!
