Happy Anniversary to Us

We have been married 11 years today. I am very excited because my parents are taking the kids to their house overnight and Vince and I get a night out in Salt Lake without having to deal with bedtimes! It goes by faster every year!

Day 20!

Kaylee has made it to day 20. I think we will be going to the mall in 10 days....I have been dreaming about this for a long time and it feels just as I thought it would!

Cousins come to visit!

We got to have Corinne and her kids out for a few days while they were on their way back to Virginia this July. It was great fun for everyone, Tay got to sleep in the girls' room and Carter got to sleep with the boys.

While they were here, we got a babysitter for the kids and had a fun girls' night out with Steph, me and Corinne--we were really bummed that Chelsea couldn't make it at the last minute. We got pedicures, out to eat and back to Steph's new house for a movie. It was great fun, but we only got one picture which I am probably glad I don't have!!

The big event for the kids was going to the water park near our house. Here are a few pictures of that fun outing.

Swimming lessons!

Gotta love that time of year when the pools are open! We signed everyone up for 2 sessions of swim lessons this year. Matthew actually did some private lessons first, then decided he preferred group. The other did two sessions of group lessons, one at the beginning of summer and one at the end. They were all at the Box Elder Hight School Natatorium. Its an indoor pool with great instructors! We never had to worry about it being canceled due to weather and never had to worry about too much sun. Here are some fun pictures from the first group lessons.

Kaylee is the one in the last picture on the left upper corner of the stairs. Matthew I don't have a picture of because he was in private lessons at the time.

Today is day 8

Kaylee has been dry for 8 days now! We have her on a fun incentive program, each 7 days dry=1 small prize and then when she gets to 30 days dry she gets her ears pierced and we can officially call her potty-trained. There were a few times we got to 5 or 6 days, but then had to start over. We are feeling very happy around here. Ashley is now no more in diapers at night either so all we have to buy now are some pull-ups for Kaylee at night! YAY!

Taking the plunge

We have finally switched over to Verizon from T-Mobile. I know that this may not be such a big thing to some of you, but my family (siblings, parents) have said we were going to switch for a long time, but no one ever has. So, Thursday I will be getting a new phone and starting with a new network! Same phone number, for all those wondering.

I am extra excited because we will now be entering into the world of text with our new plan. I am getting a phone with the slide out Qwerty keyboard, so it won't take me ten minutes to reply to someone! :) I will text everyone (who I know has text) when I get my new phone. YAY!!

Conversation at dinner.....

Dad: I have to get gas tomorrow before work
Boys: [bust out laughing]
Kaylee: Mom, do I ever get gas?
Mom: Yes Kaylee, everyone gets gas.
Boys: [more laughing]

I don't know, but I guess we have a pretty normal family if you look at it right. :P
