A Little Bit of Everything

Tumbling Tots

I enrolled Isaac in Tumbling Tots at the Center in Provo. It worked out really well that it is only Isaac and his friend Addison in the class together. They both have such a great time following each other's lead and getting to run around and get all their energy out. Isaac LOVES jumping on the trampoline and hanging on the bar. they work on somersaults (front and back) back bends, flips, flips on the bar, walking on a beam and more. Both Addison and Isaac think it is the greatest thing ever! The last two pictures are updated photos of me pregnant. I am almost 31 weeks.

We're Moving!

Well, we are moving. Jim was accepted to Pepperdine University for graduate school and I am so proud of him! I am sad to think of all the wonderful friends that we will be leaving behind in Utah, but it is exciting for our family to start a new chapter in our life. It is also nice that we will be living closer to family and by closer I mean a 5/6 hour drive versus a 12 hour drive. Pepperdine is located in beautiful, but VERY EXPENSIVE, Malibu, California so I welcome the beach with open arms while I choke down the cost of living. We will be up for visitors. Our door is always open. So come and visit. We'll love to have you!

Why I Love Being a Parent

We are attempting to potty train Isaac again. Today Isaac said he had to go to the bathroom so we put him on the toilet and he was very happy. He told us that he was going poo poo and he needed a book to read. After a while in the bathroom and a couple of times with him coming out holding his book to show us a picture, Jim went in to go see what he was up too. Well, he decided to take the magazines in the bathroom and play with them with the water in the toilet. He thought it was pretty funny, but Jim didn't see any humor in this. So Jim went into the bedroom to get Isaac's shorts and underwear and Isaac bolted for the back door in the kitchen with just his shirt on. Isaac then tells us he went pee pee and Jim sees that he peed through the screen door to outside and explains to Isaac that he was happy he went to the bathroom outside and not in the kitchen, but that he needs to use the toilet next time. Jim laughing, comes and gets the camera to take a picture to document it. After putting the camera away, Jim goes to get Isaac when he sees that in that 30 second period Isaac poops on the rug in the kitchen. Jim is laughing telling me about it and goes to get the camera to take yet another picture. When Jim puts the camera away and goes back to Isaac with paper towels and baby wipes, Isaac is standing outside and says that the poop is all gone. That's right. It is no longer in the kitchen because Isaac picked it up and threw it in our backyard. He is so proud of himself standing there rubbing the poo off his hands like it was dirt, he had to tell me on video what he did. Man, I just love being a parent.
