Potty training

Anyone have any good methods for potty training, or a favorite book that helped them? Not that I'm ready to try this weekend, but I know it coming soon! Help please!!!

Today

Today my love comes home. The last 4 weeks have flown by! It's going to be so great to not be a single parent anymore ;)

Girl's camp

We had Girl's camp this week which I've been planning for about a year now, so it's great to finally have it over! (I feel like I can have my own mind back again). It was a lot of fun and I wish I could bottle those girl's energy! Our theme was B.O.O.T. camp (build our own testimonies), so we had some activities planned around this.

Here we all are in our pink camo shirts before our hike
The National Guard came up to our campsite and set up and inflatable obstacle...soooo fun!

Oh, and this doesn't fit, but this is what Landen's been up to lately, playing in his pool and loving being outside as much as possible!

Absence

Dropped Brian off at the Idaho Falls airport this morning at 6:30. He'll be at Ft. Lewis, WA for 4 weeks! Totally not the same as going to Iraq when we were first married, but still sucks! Landen's really going to miss his daddy too!

Brian's Birthday/Trip to Utah

This is very late in the posting, but we've had a sick kiddo we've been trying to take care of. Poor Landen got his first ear and sinus infection...who knows from where, but he first started getting sick in Utah. Poor kid. I digress! We went down to Utah on Brian's birthday (the 18th) per his request. Here's some photos of the trip.

He only turned 29 not 209 ;). I forgot candles, so we took the best we could find.

On Saturday, Landen went to the zoo with his cousins while the boys were playing golf.

Landen loved the giraffes and actually started getting mad and yelling at them when they walked away...funny kid!

On Sunday (father's day), we had a little BBQ for the dads (my brother and his family came up for the event).

By Monday, Landen definitely wasn't feeling good, but we still went down to my brother's house and stayed the night before coming back up on Tuesday (just in time for me to get ready for work). Landen became very attached to Katie's boyfriend Cory...it was pretty funny/cute!

Welcome Home

This is what Brian was welcomed with when he came home this evening from drill in Pocatello.

We must have worn each other out this weekend!
