Trip Home from Boise!

The trip home was a lot of fun. We decided to take the scenic route home from Boise. So we went to Idaho City, Ketchum, Sun Valley, Shoshonne Falls, and then home. Saw a lot of beautiful land, some animals, like Elk and a Snow Fox. We took a lot of pictures. These are just some of them. There is a lot of pretty land here in Idaho. It was fun to taking our time getting home. Enjoyed the weekend.

State Competition....Boise Idaho

This last week end was State Cheer Competition for Taylor. It was a lot of fun. I went up with one of the other cheer mom's. We had a slot of fun. We spent the whole weekend up in Boise. The girls missed placing by a 1/2 point. That is disappointing, but they were awesome to watch. What a great experience for Taylor. I am really proud of attitude and outlook on the way it ended. She just is such a good sport on things. She was disappointed that they didn't place, but new that there is next year. And that they just need to work a little harder. I wish that we could all have that attitude on things.

Here are just a few pictures. Sorry they aren't the best picture. I think that I need a new camera. When they had out the awards, all the teams go out onto the floor. It was cool too see all those teams out on the floor.

Potty Training!

Potty Training. I have four kids, three of them I never had to potty train. They just started wearing big kids underwear, and that was it. My Devinator. Well we worried about him. I was not sure how to potty train him. He wanted nothing to do with going potty in the toilet. I was kind of worried that he would be 5 and going into kindergarten wearing diapers. LOL! Then last week on Tuesday. It happened. Daddy I want to wear big kid underwear. And that was it. He has been going in that bathroom all by himself . We only had one day of accidents.

I am so excited to be done with diapers. So if anyone needs advice on potty training, don't come to me. I have no clue how to potty train. Mine just do it on their own.

Congratulations Devin, for being such a big boy. We are proud of you.

Districts!

Well Taylor had districts this last Saturday. The girls place 1st in the stunt routine, 2nd in stunt show, and 3rd in the sideline cheer. They will be going to state in March. Taylor is so excited.

I am still trying to get the dvd downloaded onto my computer. So as soon as that happens I will post the dvd on her so that you can see the cheers and stunts.

Not much else has been happening. Taylor is busy with Cheer. Hopefully that will slow down some. I have been busy at work, and the kids have just been doing alot of swimming at the gym. They have really enjoyed the swimming.

Well that is it folks. Write some later. Hopefully post some dvd's.

Mean Parents!

So last Saturday Taylor wanted to take a couple of her friends to Logan, to eat and see a movie. So we told her that she could go and have some fun. Then Gerald and I decided that we would go out to eat at Texas Roadhouse that night also. So my daughter got to take the nice Van and we took the old beat up Trooper to Logan.

We got down to Logan at about an hour after Taylor left. We had a wonderful dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Love their food. Then we decided that we go ahead and go home. But before we went home we called Taylor to see if she was out of the Movie yet. Of course she said that she was and that they were stopping at Kohls then going home. So we took the opportunity to have fun with our daughter and her friends.

Can you guess what we did? We took the van and moved it behind a BIG PILE OF SNOW. Then we sat and waited for them to come out of Kohls. They walked around in 6 degree weather looking for the van. It was funny to watch. Taylor kept calling us to find out where that van was. We let it go for about 15 minutes. Then we decided that we had better let her know where the van was. It was pretty funny. Of course we might regret it later. She will probably get revenge on us.
