Friends in The Central Stake

I just finished editing some pictures of Emily and Preston Roundy, they are up on my other blog, let me know what you think.

The Pumpkin Farm

Bryce's pre-school had a field trip to a farm here in North Carolina, it was super fun.

It was 60 degrees so we were wearing our winter jackets, which turned out to be overkill, but I would always rather have a jacket and take it off, then be cold with nothing. This farm was crazy, they have on average 500-750 kids a day come in October. We saw a puppet show, took a class photo, made a scarecrow, fed the animals, went on a hayride where we saw a Lamma and got a very small pumpkin for both Bryce and Caylee. My camera ran out of battery when we got there, so this was our only picture but we had a great time.

The best thing of all though, was that this was Bryce's first time out in public with no diaper and he was great. He is totally potty trained and doing great. Jason did not think it could be done in a weekend, but it was and I now only have one child in diapers. Yay Me!

Toilet Bowl News

Bryce is Potty Training! We have been at it for 24 hours now and we have had 6 misses (one of which was on my lap) and 3 success's. This is not easy. Bryce could care less if he goes in his pants and he does not like being told what to do, so when we say it is time to sit, he screams "No Potty", then he gets off and pees on the carpet. AAAAHHHH! I was hoping that this would only take a weekend, but it is looking like that will not be the case.

I am so glad I have conference on now, because it helps me to have patience through this poop filled day!

Thank You Basketball

I have been playing basketball a couple of times a month on Saturdays since I had Caylee six months ago. Today I decided to go for a run instead of a bike ride. I am not good at running, usually after a quarter of a mile I need to start walking, but for the first time in my life I ran 2 miles without stopping once while pushing a stroller (Bryce ran alongside me as best he could half of the way). I am so proud of myself and excited to see what I can do next. Again I say THANK YOU BASKETBALL, for making me into a runner!

First Bad Report From School

Bryce has been in pre-schoool for 3 weeks now and loves it, I can see such improvements in him already. Everyday when I go pick him up his teacher gives us a report and all of them have been great, until yesterday. I was DEVASTATED! I know I shouldn't have been, but I was. Bryce and I had a talk and we discussed what he did wrong and why he did not get any candy from his teacher, but still I wonder what else can I do. I want to know that he is learning from his mistakes, but he is only almost 3, so maybe I should give him a little slack. :)

Kelly Beach Trip

The couple that started it all. My parents were wonderful and invited all of us to the beach in August for a week. It was incredible. I took a ton of photos, but am only posting a couple of them. My Mom asked for a picture of her and Dad for their Christmas card and we got this, I think that they look great!

Here is my Dad with our Cousins Tessa and Conner from Utah, they came out to join us and we are so glad they did, we had a lot of fun with them.

Who would have thought that a man with three married children and four grandkids, could ride the waves like this.

Roy brought his surf boards, but the waves were not large enough for him to ride, but Bryce loved it. He and Roy were playing like this all on their own, I was so happy I had my camera.

Sean and Alena, so in love. I really like the shadow behind them in this picture, as well and them.

The Wilson Family Photos

I took some family photos of the Wilsons while at the beach and they turned out awesome, here are some of my favorites.
