Tenley is Two!

 

Tenley loved her Minnie Mouse birthday party. Lots of family and friends came and she got tons of presents. I can't believe she's two. Thanks everyone who shared in her special day.

Trip to Sego

On Saturday, my dad's side of the family took a day trip to Sego (it's by Green River). There is an old boarding house there that my great great grandma used to run. The outlaws and coal miners would stay there. My great grandma grew up there and helped out. It was really neat to see. The place is falling down because some teenagers started it on fire years ago, but you can tell what it is. It was fun to be with my family and learn more about my heritage.

This is the boarding house, well what's left of it.

Finally a Post

So I haven't been able to post because ever since we moved I haven't been able to find my camera's battery charger. Well today I found it and just in time for Tenley's birthday party tomorrow. Yay! So here are a few random pictures just to catch you up.

Tenley in her new tutu

Our new puppy Sawyer. Mike named her this because our old dog was named Peyton and on the show One Tree Hill, the character Peyton's last name is Sawyer.

I just love this picture.

WICKED

I was able to go see Wicked this past weekend, and oh my gosh it was so amazing! My boss who I teach dance for bought all of us teachers tickets a year ago. So I've had all year to anticipate going, and it was so worth the wait. I wish I could go see it again.

Potty Training

Tenley has decided she is ready to use the big girl potty. So I have been working with her to get potty trained. She does really good. She tells me when she needs to go and she's only had a couple of accidents when she's wearing underwear or "nunus" as she calls them. And she has to have the potty in the livingroom, but I'm trying to break that habit. I was so worried about having to potty train her but she's the one who decided she was ready and it has been so easy. She is just getting too big.

Cell Phone Tragedy

So Tenley threw my cell phone in the toilet the other day and I now have nobody's numbers. So if you could either text me or e-mail me your phone numbers, that would be great!

Ward Split

So for the new year, they have changed the boundries for the wards down here. It has caused quite an uproar. Mike and I had to laugh because when we were in Eagle Mountain, they split the ward like 3 or 4 times in 2 years and we went to 3 different buildings. But down here, people have been in the same ward since birth. It's going to be a huge adjustment.
