What's New Around Here

We have had so much going on around here. I have been awful at blogging but thought I'd do a little update for myself and of course there are a million pictures to go along. 

Tyson finished his second rotation last month at a Family Medicine office. His schedule was amazing. We saw him everyday by 5pm and had him all weekend long to ourselves. He really loved the doctor he was with and learned a ton. This month has been much different. He started his "away" rotation out in Cottonwood, about 2+ hours away. So we have only been able to see him on weekends. We sure miss our daddy a lot. Tyson is doing an Internal Medicine rotation and works loooong hours, so I am glad he is away doing it but still miss him so much. Thankfully we have wonderful friends who take care of us and my mom just came out to visit and help. We feel so blessed! 

Since Tyson's gone during the week, our weekends are busy busy. They are spent doing projects, running errands, going on family outings, and pretty much soaking in our daddy time. Tyson is also busy with his new calling in the Young Men's presidency. We also just got asked to help prepare a few people in our ward to attend the temple and I am super excited for this opportunity. 

Tyson and I celebrated 6 years last month! We got to go out on a date and we loved spending alone time together. I love this man. :)

Owen is now potty trained!! He pretty much did it himself. About a month or so ago, he began taking off his diaper and going poop in the toilet all by himself without saying anything to me. So I decided that I should probably stop being lazy and just potty train him already. It was seriously WAY easier than I thought it'd be. But it really helped that I waited until he was ready. He only had a few accidents total during the first two weeks and by the end of the first week, he stopped going potty at night. We are so proud of him!! I feel like he is such a big boy now: he goes to preschool two times a week, sleeps in a twin sized bed, and wears underwear! Where did my baby go!!??

Graham is a pro crawler these days and is SUPER content to crawl around and entertain himself forever. He is so easy going. He loves balls, cars, books and anything that lights up. He only eats adult food now but luckily still nurses wonderfully. He is 9 months already!! Time is going way too fast.

Now for a picture break:

First day potty training!

Game day! I love everything about this picture....except for what ALL of my boys are wearing ;)

For our anniversary I put 6 balloons (one for each year married) above our bed with a picture tied to the end of each one. It was a fun way to remember some of our favorite and most special times throughout the years we've been married. Tyson loved it :)

 Lately, Owen thinks it's fun to crawl around like Graham. They follow eachother everywhere and I love watching.

 We went to In and Out to celebrate a successful week of potty training. :)

 One weekend we were able to doggy sit our friend's little Rocko. Both the boys fell in love!

 One day when Graham had a rough time going to sleep, I left Owen unattended for about ten minutes. When I walked out of G's room, I saw him here! He was playing in the water and washing his feet! haha

 Riding bikes with our favorite friend Zurik!

 The weather is finally cooling down here at night! So we have been taking advantage by going on family walks on Sunday evenings.

Big boy on his knees!

 Graham's favorite thing to do at the moment is swing the door back and forth and back and forth. He did this for almost an hour while my mom and I cooked some freezer meals. :)

My mom came to visit!!

We are loving life over here! I am so so grateful for my family :)
