Lagoon!!

I forgot my camera when Sheryl and I took the kids to Lagoon last week so I am trying to figure out how to get the photos off my phone. Until then, I will just have to tell you about it. First of all, I am an amusment park nerd. I love going and I love rides. Second, after this last trip I have learned that my twenty month old little sweetie is also an amusment park nerd. She had SOOOO....much fun. She rode non stop rides for eight and a half hours including the little roller coaster, puff the magic dragon, twice!!! It was so much fun to see her excitment. She even put both hands in the air on bulgy the whale. What an awesome adoreable little cutie Hazel is!!! Looks like we will have to go for the season passes next year!!! Yeah!!!!

Hazel went potty...

I am not trying to potty train Hazel yet. My sister-in-law's doctor told her that now is the time to start potty training them. Specifically introducing them to the potty and so on...So, I decided to set up a Hazel potty today. She sat on it right away and I kept asking her if she needed to go poopy, and she kept saying yes (even though I know she didn't because she went poopy about a half an hour before that). It was cute because she was trying to push and everything. Anyway, I closed the potty and left the bathroom to grab something. When I went back in, Hazel had her hand in her potty swirling around her pee!!! (Don't worry, I washed her hands really well). She had lifted her potty lid, sat down and went pee all by herself!!! It was CRAZY!!!! I gave her a popsicle after to make sure she knew it was a good thing. I still am not planning to REALLY potty train her yet or put any pressure on her for a while, but it was so cute and a step in the right direction, already.

Happy Independence Day!!!

This is one of my favorite holidays. I love that we can take a day and celebrate our freedom in celebration and gratitude to all who have gone before us and made this possible. All of them gave some and some of them gave all. This past month and a half I just finished up my American Civilization class at the University of Utah and I learned SO much about what went into the forming of our country. It is amazing.

Hazel and I had so much fun with all of the family (Josh was in North Carolina visiting his friend). We went to the Herriman Days parade and fair a week ago, to Murray Park with cousin Audrey and Aunt Lisa, to Grandpa Clawsons (all on Friday). Then on Saturday we went to Grammy and Grampy Bliss' for the Annual Bliss Swim Party, then to Uncle Dan and Aunt Annie's for a BBQ, and then home to watch fireworks done by Uncle Tom, and on the roof to see the fireworks going off around the valley. Hazel was adoreable and so well behaved for me. She played and played and played and then crashed when I finally put her to bed. I love that girly so much!!! Here are some fun photos of our fun...
