Memories

I've seen this a lot and decided it would be fun to play.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments

Summertime in Idaho

One thing we like about Idaho in the summer is the county/state fairs. It's mostly cowboy stuff. Eryn loves to see all the animals and is looking forward to the pony ride in a couple of weeks. A few weeks ago we went to our first rodeo! I expected to cringe the whole time but we have a great time. I can't believe how many crazy people are willing to get on a wild bucking horse or bull but most of them actually stayed on for the full 8 seconds. There are actually a lot of different events at the rodeo.

Calling All Potty Trainers!

How exactly am I supposed to do this? We've got the potty. We've got the underwear. Now what? Anybody want to direct me to some really good info on how to actually potty train? I guess I should stop being lazy about figuring this whole thing out but right now Eryn seems too scared to actually go in the potty. I've finally gotten her to sit on the thing without crying (she's kind of a scaredy cat about everything.) I've taken it as a sign that she's just not ready yet. That may be the case but I really just don't know what I'm doing.

Any advice? Direction? Videos? Books? I'll take any suggestions.

Park Fun

We live in the most family friendly place! It is awesome. While Eryn doesn't understand why we cannot go to the beach, she does like to go "play water." They have these water features in a bunch of parks around town. Eryn loves them.

4th of July

Our 4th of July was pretty quiet. We went to the park, had a bbq (with rice), and watched the fireworks. It was kind of cool. We could see two other firework shows in the distance.

Corn on the cob and teriyaki chicken.

Old Friends, New Memories

Soon after returning from Hawaii, we went on a mini road trip to Twin Falls to visit Mike's old missionary companion. Not only did they have a miniture donkey and a few horses, but they had the coolest family ever. We felt right at home.

Hawaii, Part 2

Alright, I know I'm a slacker. I'm just going to have to do many short posts to catch up on what we've been doing. I'll start by posting more favorite pictures from Hawaii.

Eryn loved going to the beach. She still talks about it.
