McCall's Graduation

My little sister graduated from Snow Canyon last week!  She had such a great graduating class; they accomplished a lot that year and were all very close.  After the ceremony, we went down to take pictures but couldn't find her.  One of her best friends found us and said she was walking around bawling and hugging everyone.  Haha- I was dying.  Far cry from what my brother and I felt when we graduated!  I'm so glad she ended her high school years on such a positive note.  She has darling friends and they all have a great future ahead of them.  Congrats McCally!!

All About Aubree

Oh this girl... she is so much fun and such a spitfire.  I feel like I have a teenager, not a 2 year old!  Here are some things about Aubree lately:

-We tried potty training and that was a total bust.  She was so patient the entire day with me nagging her and and putting her on the potty-- but she was not getting it.  She would sit on her potty for 2 hours while we played, stand up, and go right on the floor!  ALL DAY.  Not fun.  The next day I asked her if she wanted to go on her potty and she just started bawling.  I felt so bad.. so basically we will try again when we are both ready haha.
-She is so social!  She goes up to people in the store and hugs them and loves when we see people we know.  She especially loves Matt's friends.  Van and Danny are still talked about at our house.
-She was having a really hard time understanding that we don't hit or push kids, but she has seemed to be a lot better.  It still happens, but not every 5 seconds.  I read a great book about this issue and it helped a lot... I just need to stick with what they tell parents to do in that situation!  When we were in St. George she was pretty hard on her cousins (and I appreciate my sister in laws for being so nice about it!) so we will keep trying to teach her.
-We bought her a new swimming suit and she loves it.  She asks every day if we can go swimming- luckily 7 Peaks opened this weekend so we will be there all the time this summer.  We are so excited!
-She is a great talker.  I love having conversations with her. 
-I sometimes wonder about her blood sugar... I have a 2 minute window when she is hungry and if I don't feed her within that time, it's all over.  I could just be paranoid but it really is that bad.  Once we get food in her she is great, so who knows.  We'll have to talk to her Dr. and see. 
-She loves wearing my shoes and Matt's shoes.
-We talk about her being a big sister all the time and play with her babies to practice.  I knew before I got pregnant she will have a hard time adjusting, but we will try our best.  I think she will enjoy having her around but not enjoy me giving a lot of attention to someone else besides her. 
-She loves the Temple.  She wants to drive by it all the time.



Lately...

I've been trying to do my blog book with no success.  I have been talking with Blogger and Blurb for over a YEAR and we can't figure out why my blog won't transfer.  So... I'm bugged.  The whole reason I started this blog was for a scrapbook for cryin out loud!!  Anyways, I am doing Shutterfly and it's actually been kind of fun and not hard at all, especially since I already have everything documented on my blog to just copy and paste over.  From here on out, my posts won't be as big of a deal, but I'll still post for fun and to keep documenting.  Still kind of bugged though... but I digress. 

Anyways, we have been great!  We're moving to Orem in a few days which I'm thrilled about.  We found a bigger place within our budget and it has everything we were looking for-- including a tub without creatures forming in it!  I will miss our ward but other than that... Peace out, Provo.

My pregnancy is going really well and I'm at 26 weeks already!  Other than a few minor things that were "possibly but probably not wrong," it's all been great, and baby girl is looking perfectly fine.  I feel her move all the time which I love!  My back and hamstring have been really bugging me; I pulled my hamstring almost completely off when I was on Rebelettes and it's affected me ever since, especially while I'm pregnant.  But other than that, I feel good.  I wasn't that great at documenting with Aubree's pregnancy and have been even worse with this one!  I don't really take pictures of me while pregnant.. not my thing really I guess, but I hope I can document a little bit here and there just so I don't feel guilty haha. 

Our little family is doing great and we have lots of fun things planned over the summer before this little one arrives.  Going to spend tons of time at 7 Peaks, BBQ's at our new house, playing with visitors and enjoying the amazing weather! 

Supercross

Matt's friend from work had some extra tickets to Supercross up at the U so we jumped on the opportunity.  A few Valentine's days ago, we went to Monster Jam (because I'm the best wife ever) and talked about trying to go to a Supercross race.  So, Matt was pretty stoked to go this year and it was a lot of fun!  Parking was a disaster and we had to walk at least a mile around the campus to the race and back which was fun for my pregnant self and the kid on crutches who was with us, but other than that it was really cool!  Thanks to the Zander's for watching Aubree-- they said she didn't ask for us once-- she loves them and I'm so glad we have awesome friends to help us have a date night!
