I would have to say that I have 2
wishes right now.
1. That we
sell the house before we leave (FYI- we are offering a $500 cash referral bonus if you find us the buyer) and
2. That Ana is
potty trained before we leave.
Ana is doing SUPER and she stays dry almost every day now. She finally loves her Elmo panties, but we usually keep her in a diaper at bedtime just in case. Last night Ana requested that she wear panties to bed which I happily agreed to since she usually wakes up dry, and she was really excited. At 5:30am this morning I heard, "Mommy, I need help. Mommy, I have owies." I'm not sure what the owie part was about, but when I finally made it to her room she was standing in her crib SOAKED. Her room was freezing from the swamp cooler, and I knew this was going to take awhile. I put in in a warm bath, and let her return to a normal temperature. When she was clean and ready to get out, I quickly dried her with a towel. Before I could get her clothes on, little goose bumped Ana started crying and after a few seconds she shouted,
"I need a brownie!".
This isn't the first time that she has requested chocolate or sweets when she is needing a pick me up, as some of you can remember. I just don't know where she is learning it!
And here is Jes' old room. Unfortunately it wasn't this nice while she was here.
So who is ready to make an offer? :)
Happy Independence Day! We went to the Clearfield City parade for about 20 minutes, at which point we decided we had enough candy-- and then went to the sand dunes.
This is part of the "Little Sahara" sand dunes in West Utah. Those little black things are dune buggies.
For all of you who think I am really taking my child on the dunes like this-- you must not know me. We just drove Ana in a circle around the campsite for 30 seconds-- and she LOVED it!
At the bowling alley with the Wayman clan. After bowling, a dance party arose.
We went to "South Ogden Days" fair in mid June. It was soooo fun!
Only an hour in line for an oil soaked funnel cake. (this was during the concert, and the line was closer to the stage than seats would have been anyway.)
Mya decided to spend her ride tickets on all adult rides. She was very brave and we were laughing TONS. When one of the rides was spinning and carrying us up and down super fast she couldn't hold her head up to see what was going on because there was so much force. She shouted, "Mom, I can't lift up my head, it's too heavy!" which I cracked up about.
Just as fun as Six Flags!!
What is this??
It's MYA!
Josh Gracin sounded excellent live, which I expected because you've gotta' sing awesome live, if you have been on American Idol. "Favorite State of Mind" made me think of you, Emily!
I would have to say that I have 2 wishes right now.
I think the real reason why Ana didn't want to go into the fountains is because she was hoarding the orange soda, and she was trying to drink it all before Mya came back. If you look closely (or blow up the photos) you can see that she had an orange mustache for the rest of the day.
The girls and I spent some time hanging out on the lawn at the Quinney Law School at the U of U while Brian was talking to the Dean after lunch. Ana's pants were soaked because her water bottle was slowly leaking in her car seat and she never mentioned it :) so she played for 20 minutes in her diaper.
We were using the timer on my camera to take some photos of all of us, and Mya thought it was hilarious to keep making faces so I would set the camera and then run like a crazy lady over and over again. We all had lots of laughs!
I took a shot of the girls in the air while playing "Airplane" and "Mama's in the Kitchen" while we passed the time.
