So this is my third time doing this... still not fun! I've decided potty training is a right of passage for parents. All parents do it, no one looks forward to it, yet with the lack of teenagers in diapers, you figure it has to be done. Well, today was the day for Cannon. He actually did really well. I'm a huge advocate of "Toilet Training in Less Than a Day" by Azrin and Foxx. It worked with the girls and so far, it has with Cannon too. It was not all smooth sailing. As you can tell from the happy face, Cannon enjoyed sitting on the potty. In fact, he sat for over an hour and a half just drinking his soda, eating chips and candy, reading books, singing songs, etc. Two Sprites later, he still hadn't gone potty (the kids must have a bladder of steal). Anyway, he got up for just a minute, and wouldn't you know--pee all over my floor. It was the first of many accidents, but by 1:00 he had the hang of it. We did lots of celebratory dances, high fives, and hugs for "Pee-pee in the Potty." I'm nervous to see what tomorrow will bring, but for now I'm enjoying the success of the day and hope for dry days and nights to come!

Vacation in Paradise!
Clark and I had the opportunity to go on a cruise this month to the Caribbean--just the two of us! WOW! It was just what we needed. The islands were beautiful, the beaches relaxing, and plenty of time for each other. We had lots of fun with the friends we travelled with. We sure missed our kids. Paradise is fun to visit, but we are glad to be back!
Christmas
What a wonderful time of year! This Christmas season we enjoyed all the fun things that make the holidays special--gingerbread houses, Christmas lights, Santa, family, and presents. But more than anything else, I loved celebrating the life of the Savior, feeling his love for us, and resolving to be more like Him.
Disney-mania!
So this post is a few months late, but I had to share! In November, Clark and I surprised the kids with a trip to Disneyland. They bought our "staying at a hotel far away" excuse the whole drive there. We told them right as we pulled up to the the happiest place on earth. The squeals of excitement made they whole trip worth it--inspite troubles with the stomach flu and one little boy falling in the hotel fountain. In all, we had a wonderful time!

Bad, Bad Blogger!
WOW! Where did the last two months go? It is all such a blur. I absolutely love Christmas, but there doesn't seem to be any time for extra anything! Clark's new calling in church has also added to our craziness. Our ward was split at the end of November and he was called as our new bishop. Along with all our "Christmasing" was tithing settlement, interviews, staffing a brand new ward, etc. It has been an adjustment, but a real blessing to our little family. In spite of everything, I guess I shouldn't be too hard on myself for being such a bad blogger!
