WHERE OH WHERE IS SPRING

So I am so ready for spring to get here. I am very tired of the snow. Cory isn't he wishes it would snow more and more because he loves the snow. I on the other hand am ready for the warm weather to come I miss the flowers and the leaves and the green grass and sending the kids outside to play and to take Niklas to the Zoo. Niklas keeps asking to go to the Zoo and I keep telling him we have to wait until it gets warm. So as soon as it is a warm day without any wind I will be taking him to the Zoo. Which will be our first trip to the Zoo this year. I can't wait. Not much else is really happening in my family. I am working alot to earn some money to go to Disneyland in April, with Cory's parents and my friend Adrian and her family. We are anxiously awaiting to go. We are so ready to have a vacation and go someplace warm, See I am totally ready for the warmth and so is Niklas he keeps asking everyday are going to Disneyland this day or are we going to the Zoo today. It is cute but also is kind of crazy. Any way that is my thoughts right now on the weather.

Happy Valentines Day

First off we want to wish everyone a happy Valentines day. Cory and I decided to have our Valenitnes celebration last night so that we can attend our Stake Confrence. We decided that we wanted to go to the Roof Resturant for Valentines. We invited my best friend Adrian and her Husband Brian to join us. We also wanted to invite some of our friends from our neighborhood so we had Thiess and Jamie Lindsay and Wade and Sandra Hadlock join us. It was really fun. I am kind of a dork though because I totally forgot my camera so we don't have any pictures. We had a great view of the temple and we had fun just talking about everything. It was a fun atmosphere as well. The funniest part of the whole evening is when the Hostess had to let us know that the next reservation for our table was checked in and asked if we could leave and go to a place that we could sit and chat. I knew we only had a certain amount of time but we were talking so much and laughing that we didn't pay much to the time. I must say I have never been asked to leave a resturant but it was totally understandable. Cory and I had a blast with all of you. Thank you for joining us on our Valentines Celebration. I also just want to let Cory know that I love and appreciate all that he does for our little family. He is a great man, and had to put up with alot from me. I will always remember this Valentines because it was nice to be out with friends. Again Happy Valentines Day to everyone.

Niklas said the cuttest thing

So yesterday at church Niklas' sunbeam teachers told me about the cutest thing Niklas said during their lesson. They were talking about how Jesus once was baby and did an activity showing each child a picture of themselves as a baby or a toy that they used to play with. Aparently the children started talking about there sisters and how some of their sisters were at home or in a different class. Then Niklas told his class that his sister is in heaven. I just thought it was the cutest thing for him to say. Man how he has grown up. He also was asked to give the closing prayer in primary yesterday. I was so proud of him for getting up and doing it with no problems. We love this little boy so much he makes us laugh all the time and he is so sweet.

Day two of potty training

I am pleased to announce that Niklas went poo on the potty, unfortunately we did have another pee accident but he is doing so good with the potty trainging. I am so excited. Can't wait until he has finally got it down.

Niklas is finally potty training

So today I decided that I have had it with diapers. When Nik woke up this morning I put him in underwear and have been making him sit in the bathroom every 20 minutes so far he has been doing pretty good. We have had only one accident all day. Unfortunately he hasn't gone number 2 yet but he has peed three times on the potty. I am so proud of him, but it is just the start. It has been a long struggle just to get him to go to the restroom. I have promised everything from a great big toy to a movie, nothing seemed to work but today I decided from the advice from my neighbor Amy that I would pay Niklas evertime he actually peed and we would put it in his bank and once that was full he could either take the money and buy something at the store or use it in Disneyland. He has decided that he wants to use it in Disneyland, I also told him we won't go to Disneyland until he has had no accidents. Since Disneyland is his favorite place to go it actually has been working. I am very happy with him right now hopefully tonight won't mess things up.

Well I know it has been awhile since my last post. I wanted to wait until something happened. Our ward just split a week ago, and our neighborhood basically became the new ward. We received a call from our bishop that he wanted to see us. We went on Wednesday evening which he then proceeded to give us our new calling. We have been called as the Activites Chairmans. We are very excited but also very nervous. Having to plan activities for your ward is a whole lot different than planning things to do with your friends. So now I am asking all of you for ideas, we need to plan a family activity in the next month to help us get to know the families in our ward. So if you have any fun activities that would help us please let us know. The beginning of the year was also new for Niklas as he is now a Sunbeam. He loves it, the first Sunday in sunbeams he had a little bit of a hard time going but now he goes straight to class with no problems. We also are now going to church in our brand new building which is totally awesome. It will be nice when the weather turns warmer in the spring and summer and just walk to church since it is around the block. Others in the area have commented the same. Thus instead people driving to church we will need to have designated stroller parking areas (lol). I love that all the classrooms now have windows, it makes it a lot easier to check on your child to see how they are doing in class. Well again if you have any ideas for us we are totally open for help.

So it has been awhile since I have updated my blog. So I will just let you a little of what has been going on with us. Not much really has happened we have been busy just getting ready for Christmas. For awhile I wasn't really in the Christmas Spirit this year, but as the snow has come and it is getting closer I can't wait. Niklas is soooo excited he talks all the time about how Santa is going to bring him toys, and of course he is asking for everything in the world that he sees. I was so pleased this year that when he saw Santa at our Ward Christmas Breakfast this year he was excited to sit on his lap. I was sure that once we got up to see him he wouldn't sit on Santa's lap just like the years before. To my suprise he got right up in Santa's lap and said Santa I want toys and a helmet. Ever since Cory started taking Niklas to the U of U football games Niklas has been asking for a helmet. It was so cute. But stupid me I totally forgot to take the camera so unfortunately there is no picture of the experience. We are so excited to see Niklas expression on Christmas morning. We hope all of you have a good and safe Holiday Season
