Aggie Basketball

Uncle Mitch was awesome enough to come up to us for his birthday. As a result we were able to take the whole family to the Utah State vs Fresno State basketball game. As I'm sure you know we love our Aggies. The boys love their gigantic fingers and new hats. We all had a great time and of course our Aggies won! Congrats to the Aggies for being the regular season WAC Champs again! The game lasted until after their bed time so by the end of the game they were all a little cranky so no great pics but let me assure you we had fun.After the game Logan was very much ready to go home as you can tell in this pic. This last week has been a little crazy. Audrey had what we thought was a cold last week. But as her fever became more regular and the irritability got out of control we took her to the doctor where she was diagnosed with an ear infection and croup. Then on Monday, after another trip to the doctors office and the hospital (for tests), it turns out she also has RSV and the common cold. Poor girl, no wonder she was so unhappy. But the meds are working and she is doing much better. A huge THANKS to Grandma and Grandpa Gudmundson for coming up twice this week to play with the boys while I got things squared away with Audrey.So if you don't see us out and about much, we are hibernating until the RSV season is over and the snow is gone. But if your healthy your welcome to come visit us. :)

Sports Metaphor and Potty Training

Spencer and I are training for a half marathon. We are way excited about it and have enjoyed pushing ourselves to run further then ever before.

Turns out potty training is more like a half marathon then a sprint. I thought we were prepared, I even read a book "How to Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day". It lied. It's simply not possible to train a 2 1/2 year old to use the potty in just one day. It had some great verbiage but throwing a huge party complete with fireworks and a canvas rug you've painted to look like a magic carpet is not going to get your child to use the potty in one day. Further more she only has one child, we were attempting to do two. But I have to say the boys are doing great. Logan is all but trained. He tells me every time and runs to the potty all by himself. Penn is not far behind. The boys have only had a handful of accidents since Sunday (as in a week ago). Don't get me wrong, it's not easy. In the first hour we had 4 accidents! 4!

We did take some funny pictures of the boys on the potty but we've decided not to embarrass them by sharing it here. We'll save those for their wedding video's. Here are some other great pics.
