A few updates

Here are a few things that have happened around here these past couple of weeks. As soon as we got back from Mexico, Gunner's binkie's got "lost" at Grandma's house. It only took that first night of crying a little for a half hour, and then he only asked for them a couple other times. Like it was for Malia, the binkie was more for Mom and Dad than for him, he couldn't care less now.
The next thing is Gunner is potty trained! I figured it was easier to just wipe and dump than changing diapers with my wrist. And depending on what you consider potty trained, he was pretty much trained in one day! By the 2nd day he was going both and had no accidents. He has even started staying dry during nap time. He is very good at going all by himself, and the only way I would know he was going was I would hear YEAH!! CLAP!!! We then moved the top of his potty to the big potty and he thinks he is such a big boy now for going on the big one. We now only have to conquer going at places other than the house, and he is doing good now too. At church it was the hardest he needed to go but the first time trying it without his seat he was a little scared, so would only do a little squirt and want off. He would just hold it, until Ian showed him how to do it standing up. He went right away. Good thing he hasn't connected that at home yet.
The next thing is I got the pins taken out of my wrist!!



Yeah! But wow, I still can't move my wrist, I will be going to physical therapy for a while. I also got graduated from this ugly splint that I wore for 5 weeks..

To this one for two more weeks.

Then last, we finally planted our grass!! With my wrist, typical Oregon weather that didn't copperate very well, either way too wet, or way too hot, and a few minor glitches with the sprinkler system, we had way too many setbacks, and got it in almost a month later than planned, but it's in. And hopefully by the end of July we can actually appreciate it. Here are a few of the pictures from the looonngg process.
First the tractor...


Then the rolling, thank goodness for a 4 wheeler!



Then lots and lots of raking, and then lots and lots of more raking.


Then the sprinkler system..


Then lime, fertilizer, seed, mulch, and more rolling.

And voila....
(this is not dead grass, it is the mulch)


If it actually grows I will post pictures when it is green :)
Now maybe we can enjoy our summer instead of spending every minute working, there is still more little things to do, but we are going to be busy the rest of the summer with fun things!!!
