Cars, Aquarium, Temple, and the Potty

It sure has been a while since I last wrote. We've been pretty busy. A couple weeks ago I cleaned out our car in preparation for Dale's parents to watch Will and Kate while we went away for a weekend to celebrate our Anniversary. They were going to use our car, and so I took Will outside with me to clean it out. Caleb escaped from his house to come play. They had a good time playing with all the buttons.
My grandparents came to visit, and we were able to go to the Aquarium in Sandy. It was a lot of fun. Will loved seeing the different fish and other things they had. They had a boat that you could "drive." Will also loved that his cousin was there too. It was so fun to see them so excited about so many different sea creatures.




Over the weekend of the 18th, Dale and I were able to go spend the weekend in Manti. It was a great get away. We found a small Bed & Breakfast just outside Manti. There is a picture of our view from our room just below. It was so beautiful. Dale's parents stayed with the kids, and they all had a great time. We were able to have a nice dinner, and we were also able to attend a session at the Manti Temple. It is a beautiful temple!! I hope we get the chance to go again soon. While we were down there, we stopped at the local Wal-Mart. Lucky for us, we were able to find a Wii there. We had been looking for one for a while and knew when we found one, we were going to buy it. Well ... we weren't expecting to find one when we did, but we were excited. We went ahead and bought it, and we've had a good time breaking it in! It's been a lot of fun. We also were able to stop at Dale's Grandfather's grave and put some flowers there. It was nice to visit again, since it'd been a while since we were last there.





Some of our biggest news right now, is that we were able to potty train Willard. We are super excited about that. It's been just over 1 week, and it's great. He's still learning some, but he does a good job. We got the method from a good friend of ours, and it's worked well for us. We are also excited for Will's 2nd birthday this week!! Hooray! I'll make sure to post some pictures of the big event. :)
