What a Day

1-Today was the end of week three of weight training, and I can't believe how much I like doing it!!!
2-When I got home from working out Mike informed me that Ruth had taken off her diaper and scattered Marble Poos all over the floor.
3-Mike and I went on our very first Paid Babysitter date today and it was GREAT!!
4-Ruth went potty for the first time tonight!!!
5-Introducing Potty Treats may have been the worst decision ever, since 2 year old's don't understand why Potty Treats are only given after a successful potty experience, resulting in a complete melt down.
6-I'm still thankful to Em for teaching me about Paper Lunch Bag Popcorn:)

A First

Ruth's First Prayer with my help:

Me: Bless Josh on a Mission.
Ruth: Missin.
Me: Bless us.
Ruth: ........
Me: Help us sleep well.
Ruth: Seep.
Me: Help Daddy be safe.
Ruth: Safe.
Me: We love thee.
Ruth: Nope (clear as a bell).
Me: We love thee.
Ruth: Nope.

We have failed.

Lets do this Bullet Style
-Ruth is using more and more words everyday, REAL words:) Her most recent is help and happy:) So darling.
-I bought a new sewing machine and I LOVE it. However, it does have a lot of buttons..........class please!
-I've been called to teach the 16 and 17 year olds at Church and I'm not so good at it, but as long as they gain a greater love for the scriptures that's all I care about.
-Mike's on a soft ball team but hasn't played a single game because of bad weather:( but at least he got a tank top with Patrick Swayze on it.
-I've been speed walking for 2 weeks and now I've added in weight training. My goal is to loose 10 pounds by Sept. 19 which is when I leave for Utah to attend my nieces wedding. HARD but doable.
-Lauren, Dave and the kids were here this weekend and we had sooo much fun. Ruth was disappointed to find Quinn not here this morning.
-People keep getting confused because I call the baby Wendy and Mike calls her Ruby......

......and I just realized I missed the girls doctor appointment this morning.......ugggg.

Epic Sesame Street Fail

Ruth learned something unexpected and unwanted on Sesame Street this week. It was an episode on sharing but this is what left the biggest impression with her.

Where's Daddy?

Okay. Since gaining weight this last pregnancy I have been involuntarily snorting. Not loudly but just enough to be embarrassing. Even when I'm by myself and it happens I look around to make sure so one heard.

The Cub Scouts in our Ward had a Fundraiser and it went like this:
1-Donate the food for breakfast.
2-Give us a $ donation after you eat it.
3-Bake a Desert for us to auction off.

So, we first paid for the breakfast items, donated them and then bought them back. Then we paid for the items to bake, baked them, donated them then bought them back at exorbitant prices.........Did I just get taken?
