Potty

We are really proud of you Aleksandra.

Today at 16 months

She patted her bum and said pooh pooh

And the end result was magical.

Who knew that not having to change a poop diaper was so magical!

Aleksandra watching Mickey mouse as her reward for sitting on the toilet. We never let her watch TV she has watched maybe 10 minutes totally of TV ever. So she loves sitting on the toilet and getting to watch a little clip.

Trying to figure out whats going on....

Cute Minnie underwear that she thinks she is so big for wearing (thanks grandma)

Pointing to her pooh and so proud of what she just did!

Go Aleksandra! Only a mother would truly understand this post!

Homecoming

 The U of U's 2010 Homecoming Dance

At 5 dollars a ticket we decided we couldn't pass up this opportunity. 

They held the dance at the U of U football stadium on the 5th floor box.

Awesome location, and view.

We danced the night away and really enjoyed ourselves.

The classic picture before the dance photo.

 Some decorations and food from the night, we for sure got our five dollars worth.

 Fondue and the Wassons, made for a perfect evening!

Wasson, De Rosa, and The Gowdy's at the Homecoming.

Proof, my husband can bust a move!

The Homecoming King and Queen, we of course had to take a picture with them. And when we took the picture with the King we may or may not of slipped our wedding rings off!

And by the way Mike thanks for holding my ring for me!

Then late night run to Dee's after are workout of 3 hours+ of dancing.

Don't judge us, we where hungry!

Wassons, love them!

Mikey an Me, love him!

The Gowdy's love them too!

And the girls with all our cute headbands, and the last picture of the night. What a great way to end the night!

Feild to Bottle

My first time making homemade jam, it was quiet fun. I freak out at first the instructions where a little hard to understand but after a couple calls to my amazing sister in law we had it under control! I will for sure be trying some other things next year. Can you say deep freezer for Christmas?

After sitting for the weekend the juices were perfect and the raspberries where ready for smashing!

After I had smashed them they where ready for the sugar and mixture combo.

Mixing it all together.

My finished project, Fresh Raspberry Jam.

Great Night.

We got to head to the Essig's home for a good bbq, swimming, and game night. It was so fun to catch up and laugh the night away. Aleksandra was in love with the kids room and of course playing with all the other kids. Thanks Essigs for such a fun night.

My daughter already has a problem with boys, and I don't know if I should be glad or worried that she likes to attack them at such a young age?

Aleksandra and her buddy playing in the kid house together.

Myra and Tray playing together.

Aleksandra going down the slide, no fear!

Aleksandra wishing she has one of these kids rooms in her house!

What can I help you with?

Heading up the steps to go play with the kids.

The Wassons playing the video games,

Catching up with Old friends.

Raspberries Feilds Forever

The Raspberries fields.

One of the beautiful Raspberries ready for the picking.

Aleksandra's idea of picking raspberries. Which consisted of shoving the raspberries straight into her mouth. She was a very happy girl.

Aleksandra would carry my Raspberry bucket around for me. Such a great helper!

Raspberry Face.

Weighing our Raspberries, and we still had 3 more buckets.

After Raspberry picking, we had to go pick up some stuff at the store with the cousins. couldn't resist snapping a photo with cute Kylee.

The girls with Grandpa Aragon, so happy especial after a long and successful day!

Sneaky

Since Aleksandra is attached to her doll

I had to wait till she was asleep

dead asleep 

tonight and sneak her doll away from her. 

So I could finally wash her doll. 

You have no idea,

how this doll has turned from a white clean body

to a dirty blackish body

(well only were there is cloth). 

Everytime I have tried taking the baby doll away

she cried and cried and screams for the baby 

she is so attached it's insane.

Nothing can part her with that 

DANG

Doll

We love baby, 

but man sometimes

I get annoyed of always hauling around that kid too.

Fair-ness

State Fair 2010

On our way to the State Fair, we scored some free parking but had to walk pass this guy on Mikes right, and your left. I told the group I wanted to take picture but really I wanted to take a picture of this guy sitting in his lawn drinking beer, listening to music super loud. Thank you Rose Park.

I would like to credit this amazing picture to Justin Wheatley, I may add it only took him 7 tries to get a good one. It makes me wonder because we are such perfect models!

Cheese! Mike and Aleksandra in front of the State Fair cows.

This time all of us.

Cute Ferris Wheel Photo.

The girls in the all you could eat Ice cream Tent.

All you could Eat Ice Cream for Three dollars, lets just say we got our moneys worth and then some. I don't think I can eat ice cream again!

All of us about to go down the BIG yellow slide.

The two cute ladies coming up the stairs.

The view from the top.

Can you tell Jessica and I are PUMPED!

The Slide!

Faketoos, whats the crap? And check out the line!

All of us at the State Fair.

To end a great night of Gluttony we headed to Wendy's, and I caught Miss Lola laughing so cute.
