POttY TrAinINg Day 3
There is not much to say for today other than Tre' is a ROCK STAR!!!!!
We took a drive up to Park City today to hang out and NO ACCIDENTS! NOT ONE! He told us every time that he needed to go. SIMPLY AMAZING.
I have to give a shout out to Paul. What a stud he has been through this whole process. Very supportive and a huge help! I love you and am glad that we make a great team. I am sure we will have a few mishaps along the way but, I know we will be there with each other no matter the time of night or how ever big the mess. :)
This was a great experience. I am really bummed to be headed back to work tomorrow after a long weekend with Tre'. We really bonded over this whole experience and I wish that at this moment, time would stop and I could be with him always.
So, the diary of Tre''s potty training has come to an end. Thanks to all who followed. The picture below sums up just the way we feel after this great accomplishment............
EXHAUSTED!

POttY TrAinINg Day 2
I could not be happier with the way this whole potty training experience is coming right along. Tre' is a ROCK STAR no doubt! I think he was ready to be "big" like his other cousins who have been so patient with all the watching Tre' has been doing while they show how "big" they are going potty.
This morning he woke up dry, and a few minutes let us know that it was time to go potty.(Loving that and hoping for the same results for tomorrow morning as well.)
We had one accident this morning while Paul was at church and that was because we were playing outside. I had not gone over still needing to be aware when it's time to go potty even when we are playing. Once we went over that, he was money. No more accidents for the rest of the day!
I am very persistent with my "Remember to tell mommy when you need to go potty" and I think that has made the biggest difference. It's is becoming ingrained in my sweet boys head.
We went to family dinner tonight. I was a bit nervous for a few reasons, one, he had not been in anything but underwear and a t-shirt for the past 2 days. I was feeling afraid that I was not going to know if he had an accident because of the extra layer but once I reminded myself that i would see a wet spot, perhaps disgust on Tre''s face or, if it was enough, the same puddle that would have showed up even with just the underwear on, I was ready. I am glad that I walked myself through the little things that were not going to be a big deal because he wanted nothing more than to get away from me and the house.
Second was, the fear of him getting to caught up in playing. That was nothing. I still followed him everywhere and reminded him to tell me when he need to go.
AHHHHH, I know there are going to be some kind of struggles and accidents in the future but I could not have asked for him to be more successful. He really is a BOG BOY and I am so proud of him.
Tomorrow is our last day of official training so I''' be back tomorrow. :)
Thanks Auntie Sara for being so excited to hear Tre''s news when he called this morning. Also, thank you to all of our family who is being so supportive through all of this. We love the praise and love that you show him. it means A LOT to Paul and I as well as Tre'. This is sicha big step in Tre''s life and I am happy that I get to be the teacher and have so much help and love from all of you.

POttY TrAinINg Day 1
You read it right. The time has come for us to embark on a new yet very exhausting adventure with Tre'.......POTTY TRAINING!
I have decided that through this adventure I want to blog about it for future and to take pictures for the memories and stories that go with them. So for the next 3 days I will be giving an end of the day report. Please feel free to join us or by pass. But here it is................
A few months ago some good friends of our introduced us to The Queen of Potty Training. (If you interested in this please let me know I will forward you the PDF) This woman has decided that as an on looker she did not understand why potty training was taking so many mothers so long. So after a lot more on looking and the decision she made of what she was NOT going to do she started the experiment on her own and after 3 days, WAH LA, potty training for her kids was done. Friends and family started wondering how she was doing this so quickly so over the years and as a surprise from her husband, she wrote the book and he got it published. As far as I understand it has worked for millions and here is my hope that it works for us.
This morning we got up had breakfast, drank our juice and headed straight for the diapers. Loaded all the remaining diapers into a garbage sac and out the door Tre' and I went. Tre' helped me carry the sac to the garbage and in they went. (mind you I read this book a few times in advance and he was prepared for this, this was not a all a sudden thing)
After we came back in the house we took off his last diaper and on went the "big boy" underwear. He thought this was great! Even though he was a little leary, he went along with it.
After an hour and 30 minutes we successfully had our first poop in the big boy potty and within the next hour 3 other little terds followed. :) Oh yeah, I am feeling good but not trying to get to out of control with excitement cause I don't want to jinx anything.
The pee portion of this is a work in progress. We had 2 pee accidents today but, it's all good. Tomorrow is another day and I am in this tell we get it together.
He loves the toys that he has received for the poop in the potty and the candy that he has received for get squirts if pee in the potty. hey, every bit counts :)
The highlight of the day for him so far was calling YaYa to tell about his proud pooping moment. The picture is below.
Bedtime on the other hand was a little rough. He did ask for his diapers back, I reminded him that we did not have anymore, that they were in the garbage. He remember that and sobered up pretty quick. We did go back and forth for about 15 minutes from bed to the potty. I think he was testing me. But sure enough he is asleep in his bed with his big boy underwear on. Who knows what is in store for the night but I have clean sheets and big boy underwear just in case.
Tre''s new big boy underwear along with toys, treats and a Lightning McQueen potty seat.... $94
The first of big boy underwear on for longer than expected......... AWESOME!
The reward for his first poop in the big boy potty.............
The look on his face when he told YaYa he went poop in the big boy potty....... Priceless!

Congratulations Whitney and Preston
What a beautiful day, bride, okay couple, and special experience it was to be with these two in the temple. The spirit there was so incredible, there was no way my tears were even thinking about slowing down. I love that feeling. Not all the time but just when the time is right. :)
There was a lot of love going on in the sealing room.
The love that Preston has for Whitney is amazing, you can see it just in the way that he looks at her. So sweet!
I wish you two the best in your new adventures together. It is a great journey.
We love you guys!!!

While the boss is away, we will play.........
Right before Paul left for San Fran there was word on the street that a couple in our ward has the ever abundant apricot tree so, we ventured their way and helped shake us a few 50 pounds and made some freezer jam. This was quite the adventure but I am truly grateful for punk and twinners help in getting a delicious turn out. And thanks to Tre' the apricots got the perfect amount of smooshing.

Happy Day........
We have waited a long time for this day and thanks to my Dad's love for his Heavenly Father and the gospel, a great wife and a bishop who cares for him more than you could ever imagine, he did it, today my Dad got baptized! What a happy day it has been. The only people that would have made the day better would be Joey, Kyla and Natalie. The good news is they both e-mailed me some words to share with Dad that made this day extra special for him. (Thanks for putting up with my harrrassing)
Paul was the lucky indvidual that got to baptize my Dad and what a sight that was. "What an honor" Paul told me it was to have gotten the opportunity to baptize my Dad. That is a memory Paul will always be able ot have with my Dad and for that I am grateful.
I love you Dad and can't wait for the Day that you and Stacy Grandma go to the temple. We will see you there! :)
Thanks again for the good treats I want more cranberry walnut bars.
