New Outfit from Grandma

Mya loves her new outfit from grandma patty. She also enjoyed the treats and the flip flops. Even though it is cold here Mya is ready for summer. I have decided that having a 5 year old is a lot of work. You think you want them to go to school but that creates more arguements. I.E. "Zek you need to read to me," "Zek its time for lunch so you can go to school, " "Zek please come get dressed," "Zek we need to go now." This 1/2 a day school thing has been a real challenge for Zek and I. So those parents that think they want 1/2 day kindergarten. Let me tell you full day was much easier.
Zek and Mya are missing Washington. The other day we were watching home videos and Mya said, "see thats the house I want to go to." (It was my parents house). When you ask her why she hasn't visited she'll say, "its too far and we need gas money." Apparently we've taught her well or she overhears us say this to Zek and has picked up on it. So hopefully we will be able to visit soon. Although I don't think it will be before the baby comes.

The Mess Makers

The potty training is going well, so far. Mya is catching on quick and learning really fast. Her and Zek now have a new game the play. I thought it was called "the biggest mess you can make" Zek and Mya have informed me that they are actually playing that they are going to the temple (naylor grandparents work there on fridays) and they need all the purses and boxes full of stuff to be their "temple bag." Sometimes I just don't know with these two. They definately make me laugh. I think they quite enjoy themselves, that is until its time to clean up. So the pictures are what I get when I say "go and start cleaning the basement-I'll be there in a minute." No cleaning whatsoever. Just jumping on the bed and getting even more dressed up. Myas hair is so big because we took out her messy buns in her hair and shook her hair. Its amazing how big curly hair can get. LOL!

We are all doing well down here and are looking forward to spring. I know its far away but I am hoping it will come sooner this year. We have had nice weather this week and can't wait for all the white stuff to melt. Thank you everyone for your comments. Hey kristen I need an invite to read yours. We love and miss you all.

Potty Training

Alright it has started. The goal is to get Mya potty trained before April. She is doing pretty good. We have only had a few accidents (knock on wood). She loves her princess panties and is working hard to keep them dry. Zek is back in school and I am very glad to have a schedule back again. We have decided to name the baby Chaysie and we will be coming to WA for the blessing, so grandpa Iverson can be there. We are excited for the new year and we are looking forward to warmer weather. Zek wants to take grandpas boat out and is really worried about it being in the snow. He doesn't understand that its been winterized. We enjoy talking to family on the skype camera and we are so greatful for all we've been blessed with this holiday season. Thanks for your comments. I enjoy hearing form everyone. :)
