Take a Peek

Our house is getting closer and closer to being done. We have come a long way from just a pile of dirt. Our move in date is still the 15th of September. I will have to do another picture when we are finally all finished and our lawn is in and everything. But here is where we are at right now.

Vernal

The kids and I took a trip to Vernal, Ut last week to visit Grandpa, (my dad), for a week. We had a lot of fun while we were there. We did a lot of relaxing, site seeing, and swimming. We took some drives up the canyon to look at the beautiful red rock mountains too. I tried to take pictures of how pretty it was up the canyon, but it just didn't do it justice. We also went to the Natural History Museum and the kids loved the dinosaurs on display. Vernal's like the capitol for dinosaurs in the state of Utah or something, they have Dino sculptures everywhere. I tried to get deKyn and Taegyn to take a picture with one of the big long neck dinosaur skeletons that was in the front door of the Natural History Museum, but they were scared of it. It was so nice to get away for a while and to spend one-on-one time with Grandpa. We all had so much fun we will definately have to go back again for a visit.

Updates...

Taegyn just peed on the potty!!!! Yeah, I am so excited. I hope that this trend can continue and that she will be potty trained in a couple months. I also hope that deKyn will pick up on what his little sister is doing and want to try too. However, I'm not going to push either of them. Just strongly encourage :)
Also, deKyn had his appointment with the E.N.T. specialist and his adenoids are going to need to be removed. They will be calling us with the date that we will be taking deKyn in for their removal. It's an out-patient surgery that should only take about a half hour. We are excited for deKyn to finally get the help he needs to breath, talk and sleep without the horrible snoring.

Bought the pull-ups

I bought some pull-ups today, but not for deKyn. I bought them for Taegyn. She is so interested in the potty, unlike deKyn, and even though she is a little young, I figure why not potty train her. I would be surprised if she didn't pick up on it quickly. She asks to sit on the potty all the time even though she has yet to actually "go". So, tomorrow will be our official "potty training" day. Wish me luck!!!

Ear, Nose and Throat

We finally have an appointment with the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist for deKyn. We have been talking to his doctors about his adnoids (or however you spell it) since he was a new born, and they kept brushing us off. Finally, our pediatrition listed to our complaints and why we think he is having problems, and gave us a referral to the Specialist.
The appointment's next Wednesday. I know deKyn probably won't be extremely happy about being there, but if it fixes his problems then that would be great! We'll let everyone know how it goes next week.

Moving time...

It's coming up, moving time again. Time to pack everything that already isn't in storage into boxes and totes once again, and move. However, this is not the big move that we've been waiting and working for that I'm talking about. We get to go through all the motions (and those of you that have packed and moved with kids recently know what I'm talking about), not to mention the stress and cleaning that is synonymous with moving. Our contract is up at the end of this month so we will be in limbo until our house is finally done. It wouldn't bother me so much other than the fact of my kids. They have a hard time transitioning from one spot to another. This will be our third move this year, with our forth lurking around the corner in another month after that. Just another reason why I can't wait for our house to be complete so that our living situation will be stable for at least a couple years!
