Bear World!

We went to Bear World for one of our last outings of the summer. We had a really good time. Tyler loved seeing the bears walk right by our car and all the other animals. (Emery was alseep in this picture)

They have a really cute little petting zoo with ducks, deer, goats, pot gut pigs, chickens, and a few other little animals. Tyler was quite hesitant to pet or get close to anything. The only thing he would walk close to was the ducks!

They have a few little rides there for the kids. Tyler would have ridden them all day if we would have let him. Blake looks a little big to be on that ride!!

I love these two pictures!
Emery loves Tyler! She smiles and laughs at him all the time. And Tyler loves to make her smile and laugh. They are cute to watch together. We have a web camera on our laptop and they could see themselves on the computer and they were laughing and having a great time!

Two messy kids. I don't know who is messier Tyler when he is eating something with ketchup or Emery eating her rice cereal?

Like brother like sister. I think it's funny that they both sleep the same way. They both like their hands behind their heads. I posted a picture of Tyler sleeping the same way it is from last summer.

Our "crappy" trip to the library

For those of you who don't know we have been potty training Tyler for almost 2 months. It has been the longest 2 months of my life!! He has #1 down like a champ but #2 is a struggle everytime. He always goes in his underwear and I have tried EVERYTHING! Anyways so I decided we'd go to the library and get some new books and a couple movies. We've been trying to get him to go potty by himself too so he doesn't always depend on us when he needs to go. So I told him to go potty before we left. I was in the kitchen and heard the toilet flush and heard him washing his hands. He came down the hall and said he was done. So we got ready and headed to the library. We were there all of 2 minutes and he started jumping around saying he had to go potty. When he starts jumping around like this it means he needs to go #2. I took him to the bathroom and when we got there he said, "I don't need to go potty." (very typical). So we are looking at the movies and there are about 4 or 5 other people around. He starts jumping around again and I said, okay lets just go home. Well I look on the floor and lo and behold is a big turd! I'm like oh my gosh how did that get there??!! I look down his pants and he had not put his underwear on after he went potty by himself! The bathroom was on the other side of the library from where we were. So I started looking at my options....leave it there and go get something to pick it up, in the mean time someone may step in it; pick it up with my hands and go throw it away; or BOLT! Believe me I wanted to bolt but instead I picked the nasty little thing up with my bare hand, we went and threw it away and went HOME!! It was a very crappy library trip!

Labor Day weekend in Uath!

Blake and Tyler riding the Rhino.
I'm a little embarrassed to even be posting these pictures so late! I don't know why I'm such a procrastinator with posting new pictures! Anyways we went down to Utah over Labor Day to visit my family. We went riding my parents new Rhino by Utah Lake. It was really fun! Tyler loves to go for rides on anything like that.

We went to the new North Park and played on the swings and in the water fountain.

Blake got a little dizzy after spinning on the little chair! Nothing like something to remind you how old you are! When you're a kid things like that don't even phase you!

Emery and Grandma Sherwood. It was my mom's 60th b-day while we were down too. Happy b-day Mom! We had a picnic at the park and played. It was fun to see all my family. It always goes by too fast! I never do everything or see everybody that I want to while we're down.
