Mommy I can do it myself.

As most of you know by now Wee One is pretty much totally potty trained.
The only problem we have now and then is...probably not something you
want to read about. Anyway, she is pretty good at it by now. (sorry Becky I. for the accident we had at your house a few weeks ago) So now that we are in this stage of life she is determined to do it all by herself. She doesn't tell me she needs to go she just goes and calls me in afterward. This is so good and a little not so good. One of the not so goods, but really funnies is what you get when she tries to redress herself alone. See...

My new goal.

Well here is my newest goal.

I want to be able to do 100 "REAL" push ups in 6 weeks. (not girl ones) Jason found a website with a training schedule that is supposed to help you reach 100 perfect push ups in 6 weeks. So here I go... Jason is going to do it with me. The first day (today) was pretty good, probably since I only maxed out at a 5. We shall see how the rest of week 1 works out. My goal date for 100 perfect push ups is August 4th. I'm hoping I'll see results in more than just my upperbody. If anyone else wants to jump aboard our crazy band wagon, check out the training schelude here. I'll keep you all posted on my/our progress.

I went to Papa's and all I got was this lousy antler:

Ok, so to Speed it isn't "just a lousy antler." He LOVE, LOVE, LOVES it. He loves outdoors, bones, cool rocks, etc...Papa Lance has at his house a Javelina head stuffed and mounted. My kids love it, and they love to play "find the pig". Papa hides it somewhere in the house and then yes, the kids go find it. This now leads to the antler. Papa let Speed have this small antler. He keeps it with him whenever he can. He makes sure it's safe always, and loves to play with it. Yesterday he asked for tape, I gave him some, and he came out of his room looking like this.

Gotta love it.

Fathers Day

For the Father's day weekend Speed Racer and Girly spent the weekend with Papa Lance. (Along with 2 other cousins) This left JP and I with just Wee One. So, us girls decided to take daddy to dinner Saturday night.

We went to Chili's (yeah! I didn't have to cook) and then walked around to the little water area infront of the movie theater. There was one other little girl there playing and we watched her and Wee One play and play and play. Wee One had to copy everything the other little girl did.

We really had a great night.

Sunday morning my best laid plans failed. Instead of having plenty of time to feed JP breakfast in bed, sing song Happy Father's Day and get ready to go, Jp said "Honey get up it's 8:26am". We were supposed to leave at 9am to get the kids and attend Papa Lance's ward with him for Father's day in Pheonix. Good thing I showered Saturday night. Luckily we made it and all went well. It was a neat experience going with Papa Lance. I was a little worried the kids wouldn't want to go to class in a different place, but all three of them did great. It was see ya, pick me up when church is over. Yeah, they have come so far. I hope JP enjoyed his day. I sure did.
