an update on us!!

Taelin: We just started POTTY TRAINING this week and it is going AMAZING! Taelin is in 1 pull up at nap time and 1 diaper at night-time and the rest of the day is in his SUPER HERO underwear.  He is LOVING going potty and becoming a big boy.  He says poo-poo, pee, or potty whenever he needs to go to the bathroom.  He sometimes throws BIG tantrums when he needs to go potty, so getting him to the bathroom is difficult, but once he is on the potty he is so proud of himself and says YAY, YAY YAY! He already knows that after he goes potty he gets a treat, so he runs right to the pantry to get his treat! This boy is SO SMART! His new favorite word is OH.  He will ask a question, and then you answer it and his response is "OH".  It's so cute!!! He is also talking so much more! We work on a word a day, and he is doing awesome! He loves to COPY Dalin & I, and he LOVES TO sing songs! His most favorite songs are: I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE, BOOK OF MORMON STORIES, AND TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR.  We also started going to the lap-sit story time at the library once a week and he LOVES going to this.  We sing songs, read 2 books, do bubbles, and play some instruments.  He LOVES the teacher and is sad to leave when it's done.  He gives a standing ovation after EVERY song, and is just so happy! I love going to this with him! He loves to kick the soccer ball, and of course LOVES to still play basketball.  His basketball has to go everywhere with him! It's so funny.  When we tickle Taelin he sometimes likes it, but then sometimes says OWIE, just like his mother does:)  He is growing up so quickly and we are so proud of him.  We love him so much! 
Dalin: He is super busy with work and is also taking 2 college classes on-line that take up a lot of his time as well.  He really enjoys the classes he is taking.  He is also volunteering 2 times a week with cheer-leading and gymnastics and the girls love him.  They also love watching Taelin:)  He loves spending time playing with us at night time and on the weekends and loves playing his PS3. He is loving working out as well, and taught Taelin how to play rugby.  He is also starting an ultimate frisbee team. 
Jennie: I am 24 weeks now, and am doing great! I am un-able to work out now, because it hurts my body so bad. So we usually go on walks after dinner, and i LOVE that.  It feels so good at night-time.  I just transferred over 10000 pictures to our hard-drive and am in the process of organizing them.  I am trying to play the piano everyday, and am loving taking care of Taelin.  We work on a letter a day, and I made some flash cards for him as well.  I am getting into couponing so I can save us some more money.
