Wow!!!!

Wow it has been a long time since I last posted. So much has been going on but not many pictures taken. Maybe that is why I haven't posted yet. Where oh where to start.... We got home from our Oregon vacation and I was feeling very unsettled about life. One day I asked Jon what he wanted to do with our time together and he said "I don't know. What do you want to do?" I said "let's go buy a house today" I was only joking but as I got thinking about it I realized how much I really wanted to go and do that. So after talking to Jon and thinking on it we decided to start looking. The house prices where so great in Nampa that we decided to look in that area. Within days of looking on the internet we found some we wanted to look at. Unfortunately they were all under contract, but there was another one in the neighborhood that had just come down in price so we went to look at it and loved it. We put and offer down on it and now are waiting. It is a short sale and could take awhile. We did hear back from the bank with a counter offer but we countered that offer and so are waiting again. We are hoping to be in our new home before the end of Oct.

During all this crazy house stuff we found time to go to my little brothers wedding. Kortney married a sweet girl named Cally. Baylee was a flower girl and I was one of the bridesmaids. It was a wonderful weekend filled with lots of family. Baylee loves her new Aunt Cally and can't seem to get enough of her. She was so cute in her dress.



We went to Utah a few weekends later for my cousins wedding and had a fun time with the Jensen family. They always provide us with lots of entertainment and a great place to sleep. Steph looked wonderful at her wedding and we enjoyed being a part of it.

This has been our many different adventures away from home. We are in the beginning of an adventure here at home right now. We are potty training Baylee and it is going great!!! I just was wanting to get Baylee to try to wear panties and the first day I tried she fought me so hard I thought this is not going to work. I had given up but the next morning I got an idea to hide the panties in her pull up. I got them on her but a few mins. later she realized that she had on panties and pulled them off and yelled at me about not wanting panties. I tried one more time. I knew if I could just get her to wear them for a little bit she would like them and she would be more willing to go potty in the toilet because she can't stand wet panties. The second time around it worked. She left them on and eventually took the pull up off so she was just in panties!!!. we still have a fight about the panties on occasion but I think that is just her trying to have some power in this power struggle. The first day she wore panties we only had 2 accidents!! I was surprised. I was prepared for a bunch more. The second day we had 2 and then the third day we only had 1. But the 4th day we had a bit of a set back and she rebelled against the potty so we had about 4 accidents. Still not bad. We are hoping to get to a point where it is not a fight to get her to go and she will just go. I know this will take time but I am looking forward to it. It has been an exhausting few days. I am excited for this big step for Baylee but am torn because it means my baby is going to be a big girl. I wont have a baby any more. She never lets me call her baby any more she always informs me that her name is Baylee NOT baby!!!
