Third time's a Charm?
Do you think we are out of the clear for a little while?

The New Me
So raise your hand if you are sick of hearing about running and think Michal should just create a whole blog exclusively for her running stories so you don't have to hear all about it.

Potty Trained?
I thought my potty training luck must have run out on Dylan and I was dead set on the fact that Ashlyn would be a night mare. She also has had a bad record of letting it go on the carpet and wanting to go potty when she doesn't need to. However, Thursday she practically went poo on her own and I was also running out of diapers. Now is as good as any, I thought. So we have stepped into the world of underwear (well actually I got her underwear 6 months ago when she first was interested in the potty.) But this time I think it has stuck. The only accidents she really has had was largely my own- I often forget I am potty training her. It is helpful for her pants to be off so I remember what she is wearing underneath! So here were are four days later and she will take herself to the potty- well at least a few times! I trained Dylan at my mom's house all on my own. So I told Connor it was his turn. Don't you think that is fair? So much for that.
So to sum it all up, either I am an AMAZING potty trainer (hidden talent) or we must have a good potty gene in our family. Either way, I don't think the are worth gloating about. I hope this all doesn't come back to bite me because it is premature.
I would have to say she sure does look cute in underwear- still chunky with baby fat and all!! Talk about wanting to squeeze some checks! Now I have two kids that I want to do that to!!!

Solo Mission
I know some of you might think we are crazy, and there was a moment when I thought we were, but here is a video of Dylan's second day without training wheels!!!
I don't know if the day will ever come when Dylan will disappoint us rather than completely surprise us with his physical abilities. The limits seems to be endless. Now that we have a second child, it is more amazing to think that Dylan was batting pitched balls and throwing spiral footballs at Ashlyn's age! I wish I had been more proactive about signing him a contract with a sponsor or team for the future!!! Do you think they would do that??
I was a little worried at first. Dylan has a habit of being very impatient when it comes to learning new things. He is so good at just about everything that when he can't get it, he gets upset. I knew biking would take practice, and surprisingly, he was very patient. He even begged to go out and "practice." Another great thing is that Connor is getting a great work out too.

Rain or Shine
Here is a picture of Corbin's first Run. As you can see, he didn't think it was as great as I thought it was. I mean doesn't this jogger create bonding moments for my children???

This Is Kirtland- Here we come!
Connor has just been casted as the Joseph Smith in "This is Kirtland"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cami has been telling him for the last year that he has to try out for the play so that he can be Joseph (her husband, Nate, has been Joseph for the last two years.) I think Nate was ready to ditch the wig and let someone with light hair play the part! So Cami was right, and we will spend the next three months at the church. I am sad I don't get to play opposite his part, but I am relieved to not be expected to play Emma (Soprano part - Connor can LITERALLY sing higher than me!!!) I have been casted as Julia Murdock. It will be great, except I have to be PREGO AGAIN! The last thing I want to be right now!
We also had a ward graduation party for all the graduating dental students. Connor and his band got to play, and boy did they love to finally be rock stars!!
So to sum it all up, Connor is "THE MAN." He was a grub (didn't have time to shower) and he still swept the part and rocked the house! Funny how one man can be the cool drummer and Joseph Smith all rapped into one.
The play will be the first three weekends in July. We will house anyone willing to come and see it!! Once-in-a life time opportunity!
