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.

Hawaii, Part 1

What can I say about our trip to Hawaii? We didn't do anything spectacular or outrageous. All we really did was eat all kinds of food and spend time with family. It was truly like going home. Mike and I are already plotting ways to move back there for good. In the mean time we'll just have to look at pictures.

We stayed right on the beach for the first week.

We got in a lot of fishing.

Eryn loved the beach so much she asks me everyday to go back. When I explain that there's no beach in Idaho she gets pretty mad.

Great News!

I have a little piece of information that makes me happy. I'm talking the best news so far this year!

In 4 days I will be sitting on an airplane headed for Hawaii. Eryn and I will be staying for 3 weeks. I'm so excited.
