Boy or Girl?

Last Monday we found out we will be having another boy! Boston is very excited because he has been saying that he wanted a baby brother, well he gets his wish. Cody and I are very excited as well. Now to find a name for this little guy. We've got a few names that we are considering but nothing final. I told Cody that he seems to always be kicking me so we should name him Striker (not seriously). He is a very active little guy though. Boston likes to put his head to my belly and talk to the baby boy because that makes him kick. Boston thinks it's funny he kicks him in the head. There will be a lot of little boys joining the family this fall. My sister-in-law Dy (Brett's wife) is due mid October with a boy and my cousin Cherise is due with a boy the beginning of October. At least they will have a little buddy to play with!

A day at Lagoon

This last Friday Cody and I took Boston to Lagoon. It was so much fun. His Grandma Robin and the kids were there and also DJ, Sally, and Hunter with John and Cheryl Adams. It was a blast. We got there at 11:30 and ended up not leaving till 10:00! We did not think that Boston would last that long. He did take a nap in his stroller so that helped. Boston had fun going on a few rides with Hunter, Cody, and myself. We did take him on a couple of wet rides. He didn't mind being wet he just didn't like getting wet. We all really had a great time.

In other news, school is finally out. Hurray!! Cody is going to be enjoying this summer. He's got a few trainings he has to go to this week and next week we'll be in Logan for a yearbook camp. Cody is going to be the yearbook advisor next year. So June is kinda busy. In between all of that we've still got softball, soccer, and fishing. Cody got his father's day present early so he could go out and enjoy. He's been doing quite a bit of fishing so far and plans to go often. Anyone who wants to go just let us know.

The potty training is over. Boston was definitely NOT interested. We decided to wait for a little longer to train him but we are still talking to him about it to keep it on his mind. The problem was Boston decided he wouldn't go to the bathroom AT ALL. Not safe for him. We have been reading and have also heard that most boys start around 3 years old. We will be trying again later.

The pregnancy is going great. I am 19 weeks and feeling huge. I'm not swelling as much as I did with Boston so, so far so good. We find out next Monday what we are having. We are really excited to know.

This Friday and Saturday is our 10 year class reunion. We just can't believe it has been that long. On Friday we are having a family night at Deseret Peak. $7 will get your whole family in to swim from 6-10 (8-10 is our private swim time). On Saturday we are having dinner at The Salt Lake Hardware Store in SLC by the Gateway. It is $30 a person if you pay ahead or $35 if you pay at the door. Dress nice but not fancy. We do have a class website that you can RSVP and pay on paypal at tooelehighschool99.blogspot.com if you want to check it out. We really hope to see lots of out classmates and be able to catch up with everyone. So just thought I'd remind you all that it is coming up.

And the battle begins!

Today we started potty training Boston. I was so tired of having to change his bum when he is old enough to know when he has to go to the bathroom. So yesterday when I was at work I developed a plan. When I got home from work I had Cody distract Boston and I took all but one diaper out of his room and put them away. That night when we were getting him ready for bed I asked Boston to get me a diaper. He opened the drawer and noticed that they were gone except for the last one we were going to use. So I told him we were all out of diapers and in the morning he had to start wearing his big boy underwear. Boston kept telling me we needed to go to the store and buy more diapers but I told him we were not buying anymore and now it's time to go on the big potty. He seemed a little hesitant. In the morning he got up and his diaper was dry so we went in the bathroom and Boston sat on the potty. It took him a bit but then he finally went. His reward is pennies. I know you shouldn't bribe your kid with money, but candy does not work and he LOVES money. During the day I've been setting a timer in our kitchen to go off every hour and when it goes off he has to go to the potty. So far he's been doing great! He's had one minor accident. I think he started to go and it startled him and he finished in the potty. So far so good though. Wish us luck because we've still got a long way to go. If any of you have any other ideas please let me know.
