We have a BIG BOY!!

I can say that Bridger is officially potty trained. He decided on his 2 1/2 birthday that it was time. So on 09/21/2010 he started the process. I decided when I was going to potty train that I would not use pull-ups and I am glad that I did because Bridger refers to all diapers as BABY DIAPERS. So straight to big boy underwear we went.
First Day
We had about 3 accidents and woke up dry.

Second Day
We had 2 accidents and woke up dry

Third Day
1 accident and got sick so a little wet in the middle of the night

From then on he has only had 2 accidents and today even going to church we are accident FREE! We are so proud of him and love to see the excitement on his face when he gets to flush the toilet and get a treat!





































The Candy jar












Potty chart so he knew when he would get his new train













His cute little bum in his new underwear.


















Had some sad faces when he did not make it, but he always finished on the toilet.


















Loving the new train































So proud



















Lots of smiles. I can say that this was actually a really good experience and I learned not to push them. They will let you know when they are ready. I am just glad that he decided he wanted to do it before the baby came.


















Last of all here is my 30 week Belly shot. I can't believe how active this little guy is. He is going to be on the go just like his big brother. I am already so in love with little Draydon and can't wait to cuddle him.


















Then of course so you can compare!

Eastern Idaho State Fair 2010



















We had so much fun at the fair this year. It makes a big difference when the kids get old enough to want to do things and look at certain things. We took Bridger to the horses and the cows first and we were there for 1 hr 45 min. Going back and forth from the cows and the horses. Bridger loves animals. Then we took him over to the rides and he went on the train, the cars and Nemo. Loved every second of it. He did not want to stop, so next year we are so going on wristband day!



















Daddy was such a good helper!































































































Then that night we had tickets to the demolition derby! It was so much fun, a little louder than I remember but still fun. We just had all the kids wear ear plugs.













































Adam really enjoying the food. We did not eat as much as we thought we would though.



















Adam doing his work out and Bridger wanting to do everything that his dad does.































Bridger loves doing everything we do. It is so fun to watch him grow and learn so much. I just measured him and he has grown two inches so he is over 38 inches now! Bridger can also sing his ABC's and count to 10. We are putting him in Pre-k next year so he will have two years of it! He love his baby brother already. He gives my belly kisses all the time and talks to him. We are down to 10 weeks. I can't beleive it. The parade of homes were amazing and I think we have a really good idea of what we want to build, not sure where yet. We have just got to wait and see how lay-offs go this next year.













I have still been couponing. I got all this for 6.23 after my 10.00 Catalina. Not to bad!

Our Family trip

Welcome to St George. This was an amazing view of the temple. When Brigham Young said the temple would be in the middle of the city he was right. WOW!















It was so hot there! We still had a blast though. Gina is an amazing host!















We went to Brigham Young's winter home. It is amazing how they did things back then















Bridger by the tree that got struck by lightening.





























































The Clan















Bridger doing what he does best. Drive trains.






















Gina and Tracie






















Vegas from the car















Poor Bridger worn out from the outlet mall. We were there for 5 hours and I shopped until I said I better stop. They had baby clothes for 1.60. So I wish I would have gotten more.






















Tracie checking on the sleeping boy while we took a break from the heat in the food court. It was close to 110 that day.






















When Bridger woke up we took him to the Disney Store to let him pick some toys out for being a good kid.






















The aquarium at Ceaser's palace





































































Not sure what he was looking at in either of these pictures.























Bridger was not sure about the show







































Bridger loved pushing the stroller around























The place from the show Pawn Stars shown on the History channel





































































They tried to make wine in this on the show























The store























Bridger's favorite thing. The horses






















































Bridger was being really silly






















Playing around with my shutter speed.
























Bridger looked like a ghost























This was Gina's house on our way out. We had such a great time. Gina spoiled us rotten. I love being in there home it is such a peaceful and spiritual place. Gina and I got to sit and talk about a lot of different things. She is an amazing mom and wife. She also gave me some amazing recipes like granola, jam without pectin and cinnamon syrup.
