Really happy!

So if you read this blog you know that I am potty training Hunter and that it is going really well. Today for the first time Hunter pooped in the toilet I was really excited I was jumping up and down and laughing and telling Hunter what a wonderful boy he is. I'm not sure if he knew what was going on, but I do know that he enjoyed seeing mom act like a maniac. I hope that the potty training continues to go really well, like any mom I don't want to change diapers anymore.

Ensign peak

The happy couple. Check out Andrew beard it's awesome.

This week for our date Andrew and I hiked Ensign peak ( easy hike) and it was a lot of fun. It was great to get to the top and see the whole Salt Lake valley it was absolutely beautiful.

Me just goofing off.

Great view!

To end such a wonderful day we went and saw the lights at temple square for FHE. We had Jewels, Rory, Bj, and Jake there with us and it was a lot of fun. No pictures of the lights sorry we forgot our camera :(

Potty Training

I am potty training Hunter and it is going really well, I did not expect him to do this well at all. Today Andrew and I bought him a special seat for the toilet so he wont fall in. I put Hunter on the toilet every 15 minutes and now at the end of the night he used the toilet every time he had to go. His diaper was barely wet even though it was pretty ragged from being taken off and put back on a bunch of times. He even started going to the bathroom door and banging on it when he wanted to go on the toilet. I hopes he keeps doing this well from now on. I can't stop smiling I am extremely happy at the progress he is making with everything, my son is a genius! I am a very proud mommy!

Laundry day helper.

I love having a little boy he is a lot of fun.

Hunter helping me out with the laundry.

I know it isn't a huge part of laundry, but Hunter taking it out of the dryer and putting it in the basket really helps out my back.

Boy of responsibility.

The older Hunter gets the more chores he has to do.
His chores are: Feed the fish every morning, help unload and load dishwasher, clean up toys, help with laundry, help bring in groceries, and his newest chore is help take out the garbage. He does all of these chores really well. I never knew that a one year old almost two could do all of these things, but he does and it really does help out around the house.

The bag he is holding has his dirty diapers in it. Andrew and I are really glad that he now puts his diapers in the bag and then throws it away.

He goes down the stairs just like an adult. The funny thing about these stairs is when he has a bag that is a little heavier he just throws it down the stairs and picks it up when he gets to the bottom. Andrew and I don't mind that because we never give him anything breakable to throw away.

I love this picture!

He only needs help from daddy at the very end because he isn't tall enough yet.
Andrew and I are really proud of the progress he has made in a short amount of time. We went from having a little baby to having a child who can help out.

Cold

When the weather gets cold outside it is cold inside our apartment as well. It doesn't matter how much we turn the heat up. So we just leave it at 70 degrees and wear sweaters, hoodies, and socks to try to keep warm. The one thing I do have to say is Thank God for hot chocolate, hot apple cider, and tea.

Fhe/ Big Family Dinners.

Today is Monday so of course we had Fhe with Jewels, Rory, and Jake. It was great we had breakfast for dinner ( french toast, scrambled eggs, and sausage.) Then afterward the treat for tonight was a chocolate cream pie. We had good conversation, good food, and played games together. It was just a wonderful night and I am glad everyone could come over. I have really learned to look forward to every Monday night where I used to not like Fhe very much as a child, but as an adult I love it.
