We have a pooper

Not having my lap top anymore as really put a damper on my being able to blog as much as I like to.  Now I have to go downstairs to the office to use the computer and so it just doesn't happen as often.  I will try to be better about that.

Tyler has now pooped on the potty for two days in a row.  Before that he would only poop in his underwear.  I am so proud of him and I am really glad that I decided to use the method of potty training that I did.  At first I wasn't sure, but now that I am seeing such great success I would totally recommend it.

We had a pretty fun Independence Day weekend.  On Saturday we went to the Murray parade with my family and then after we hung out and my parents, had a yummy BBQ, and then did fireworks.  My Grandpa Clark came in from Oregon and it was so nice to spend time with him, since we hardly ever see him.  We set off a lot of parachutes and the kids all loved those.  My grandpa even gave us extra money to go and buy some more.  Tony had his shoulder wrapped up to heal a torn something or other, and so I got to set off all the parachutes.  Then my brother set off the rest and we all enjoyed celebrating our freedoms.  Tyler loved it all, but Josh wasn't too happy.  He tried to sleep, but was woken up and just wanted to go home.  Maybe he'll like it better next year.

My sister Wendy and her boys are in town for a while.  It has been really fun spending time with them and letting all the cousins play together.  Generally they all play well, so that makes it nice.  The kids are learning to share and take turns very well.  I am very proud of Tyler and how well he is doing with all the kids and people telling him what to do or not to do.  Josh generally goes with the flow.  They both have pretty bad colds right now, so that really sucks.  I think that Josh is getting better and Tyler is at the hardest part.  He just coughs and coughs all the time.  Poor kid, I hope that he gets some sleep tonight -- and me too.
