Our Obsessions

Our life is back to the usual busy, school is in, way of life. It is interesting to note we each have our own obsessions that we make time for. Asey is obsessed with watching Dora and drinking apple juice. (Usually at the same time.) Tyce is obsessed with playing with friends and tying double, triple or quadruple knots in his shoes. He has finally mastered shoe tying and thinks that the more knots the cooler you are. (I think we have convinced him less is more in this case.) Jagen is obsessed with always singing (Tyce and Asey are constantly asking her to stop), and doing whatever she can to avoid homework. J.D. is obsessed with riding his bike and then riding his bike some more. Oh... and for looking for a job. I am obsessed with cleaning the house and being involved with just about anything at the kids school.

Amid all the busy stuff we did manage to get Asey potty trained. She has done really well. We are still trying to master #2, but I am sure it won't take too long. Well at least I hope it won't take too long.

Hooray for Dora!!

Well the time has come and I can't put it off any longer. Asey is ready to be potty trained. She is quite excited about wearing "big girl undies", as I like to call them. She woke up this morning all excited about putting on her Dora undies. We have not had success yet...but I am holding out hope. Tyce and Jagen are all into it, and are her biggest fans. They cheer her on. It is pretty cute. I thought I would give a small peek into a day in the life of Asey being potty trained. It has been awhile since some of you have had the joy of potty training, so here is to sweet memories.

The favorite Dora undies.

Gotta love those little buns in little undies.

Nothing like "My Little Pony" undies with cordinating dress up shoes and bad hair.

We went to Bass Lake for Labor day with a few friends from our ward. We had a great time camping and playing on the lake. The kids never wan to to come home and Kendra and I have decided that it sure is a lot of work for just one night. From now on we will go for at least two nights.

Asey's Tube Ride

2006 Labor day at Bass Lake

54 Mile Bike Ride

Click on the link above to see my route. I am playing around with my new GPS unit Kendra gave me for my birthday and it has this cool sharing option. If you click on the DASH BOARD tab it will take you to a summary of my ride. On the right side of that screen you can view a larger map of the ride of even better go to Google Earth and see satilite shots of the area with my route imposed on top. On the left you can click on items such as time, distance and speed. You can also click on MAP PLAYER and watch a dot simulation of my ride.

I relize this might be boring to you all but I am hooked on riding my bike and think about it all day!! (oh yea and job hunting)
