spring has sprung

I love the change of the seasons! Even though it would be so awesome to live somewhere really mild, I know I would really miss the drastic changes in season every few months. It always motivates me to renew my energy, my goals, and my life as a mother and wife! This past weekend was great. It was General Conference. I LOVE conference weekend. We were at home this time and it was great. We watched what we could, but DVR'd it all so we can watch it again.... sometimes we miss things because of the boys. :) We had some good friends over for dinner and said it was our "Easter" dinner. It was a  lot of fun.

We dyed eggs, which is always really exciting. I had to watch Eli like a hawk since his preferred method of dying eggs involves throwing, smashing, splashing, and grabbing at everything! Will thought the magic crayon was really cool and colored and wrote his name on a lot of our eggs.

Scott is two weeks post surgery now and doing great! This is the only picture I got of him on his big day. His wrist is doing well and he is happy with how the surgery went. It was a long day for both of us.... the dr was an hour and a half behind schedule. But in the end, we feel blessed!

The weekend after Scott had surgery, he had a conference to attend overnight in SLC. So we asked the in-laws to come babysit our boys and we just played for two days. We had a lot of fun. I enjoyed a lot of time to myself while Scott was in meetings and we had a lot of fun together when meetings were out. We went to dinner, saw Hunger Games (LOVED IT!), slept great in our beautiful hotel, went running, leisurely got ready, walked around City Creek (was really cool! and crowded), had lunch, more shopping, and then home. We had a great time and it was such a nice relaxing break. Bonus, our kids LOVE having Grandma and Grandpa here. They both cried when we got home because they didn't want them to leave. So it's great to get away and know that your kids are having as much fun as we are!

A few mornings ago, Eli decided he wanted to be potty trained?! I am NOT ready for this. He does amazing, goes on the potty all the time. Only problem.... he has no idea that he's supposed to TELL me he has to go, nor does he care one bit if he's wet in his undies, or diaper. So, I'm a little iffy about the whole thing. I'm thinking he's ready, I'm just not sure I'm ready for the endless trips to the bathroom, potty breaks at the grocery store, swimming pool, driving all Summer, and running inside from the park all Summer. Not to mention carrying around extra clothes all summer for when he does have an accident. Ahhhh, what am I going to do? I don't want to NOT encourage him, but him at the same time, I just don't know if we are ready! On the other hand, his little tushy (let's be honest, it's not that little) is the cutest thing ever! He's wearing Will's undies in the above picture because we hadn't gone to the store to pick his own out. He more than filled out Will's normally baggy undies. It is pretty irresistible.
