:What to DO?:

So, Taige has watched Kyson do the potty thing now for awhile and is interested in it. The other day we were outside cleaning out the gargage and were all dirty, Kyson came running to Nate, "Daddy i need to PEEE" so Nate's reaction was, "Hurry go outback and go potty", Kyson loved the idea, went around back, pulled down his pants and went. Taige decided she to wanted to pee outside so sure enough I go waling outback to check on the kids and there she is, pants down and her tuggin at her diaper. I tried to explain that it's not lady like for girls to go potty outside and took her into the potty, sat her down and told her to go. She did and felt so big. Then, she wanted to wear Ky's big boy underwear and the mean mom I was told her, "NO". I guess I was being lazy since we were outside working I didn't want to worry about her wetting or even worse pooping her pants. So a couple of days later I bought her, her very own Big girl Panties.

She went for 2 days without any accidents, and then day 3 decided it wasn't fun anymore, so she went potty in her panties. I tried to put her on the potty to try it again and she didn't want nothing to do with it. It was kinda like she was afraid of it. So I guess my BIG question is? Do I give up and wait or keep trying? I was extremeley lucky with Kyson he practically did it all by himself before he was 2. And Taige will be 2 in 3 months.

PLease ALL POTTY TRAINERS out there I would LOVE to hear your ADVICE and your SECRETS!

{Another Day on the Lake}

We went to Hyrum Dam with Nate's family yesterday and spent the entire day in the water. Troy and Jodi brought there boat and we brought the wake board and kneeboards, Taige and I kneeboarded again and Ashley our niece was determined to do all by herself and sure enough after about the 5th or 6th time with Nate's help she accomplished it and didn't want to get off of it. We had alot of fun and the kids of course LOVED IT. I love having the opportunity to take my kids out boating so their not afraid of the water, my dad had my salom skiing when I was 7 so, of course I love being in the water and I love having the same chance with my kids.

Thanks for the FUN DAY! Can't wait till next year!

Also, over the weekend we went back up to Bear Lake. Jamie had a bright idea to rent bikes and go for a ride.

I would NOT recommend this to ANYONE! It was alot harder then it looks. It's fun to say that we finally did it, but I will be laughing and making fun of people I see doing this from now on, cause I know now what they will be going through. Needless to say the kids had the best seat in the house!
