Whahooo

So Grant is officially potty trained!! He had four accidents and I guess he didn't like it, cause 24 hours later he had it down. I told him not to get spider man wet and when he would go to the bathroom he would talk to spider man on his underwear and say, "I didn't get you wet spiderman." He wears his big boy undies day and night and loves it!!! It is so nice to have only one kid in diapers.
The down side, my errands are a little more crazy; first finding out where the bathroom is everywhere we go. Second sprinting across the store to the bathroom and third trying to time the shopping after his daily poop and between Ty's naps. But what fun would life be if it wasn't crazy.
We are having a great Summer!!! The boys are a blast and everyday I am so grateful to be their mom!! Matt is studying for his 4th year boards and seeing patients this summer. I can't believe we only have a year left of Dental School. We love summer here and will start swimming lessons soon :)!!! Should be exciting.



NEW PICTS OF THE BOYS AT THE PARK



MEMORIAL DAY CAMPING
We had so much fun with the Johnson's and the Olsens. Grant loved the tent and slept so well!! Ty loved playing in the tent. Especially at 2 AM. Sleeping in the tent was not his thing. Cute Hadley and Ty tag teamed crying for a few minutes. It was hilarious. At 1:45 AM after failing at getting Ty back to sleep. We let him crawl around our tent. He was laughing, hitting our faces, and getting into everything. He was having a great time. After 45 min. Ty and I ended up sleeping in the car the rest of the night.

Our camping neighbors. Not the greatest picture, but it was a whole group of Larkers. They were all dressed up, and totally into it. It was quite entertaining.


Boys out looking for firewood.

Grant, Aspen, and Brooklynn



Grant feeling so proud of his new creativity. He put his little chair ontop of a diaper box so he could reach the table.


After killing our lawn last year, we decided to try our pool on our deck. It was awesome. Totally WV style.


After the boys (Matt, Dave, and Mike) finished the semester. We decided to have a getaway to Sandusky, OH. We stayed at Castaway Bay with an indoor water park. After putting the kids to bed in the hotel the adults played games in the hall. A definite highlight to the trip. In the morning we went to Cedar Point. It was our Anniversary along with Opening Day at Cedar Point. Not exactly the best combination. The rides kept breaking down. So the guys stood in lines for hours and only went on two rides. I felt so bad. The girls and kids had fun, but Matt decided our next Anniversary we were doing a trip without kids.




Chase and Ty. Ty hated the water park. I think the water was too cold for him




Grant on the other hand had a blast.




Grant and Aspen.


Grant running from the girls :) Hope it always stays that way.

CEDAR POINT
Grant was so happy to see SNOOPY


Abby was a trooper to ride with the kids



The end of the day the guys waited in another line with the kids. The line moved so SLOW!!! I love all their faces.





Ty, Chase, and Hadley


Tyson thought he was one of the big kids. He wanted to do what Grant was doing.


After a frustrating Cedar Point trip for our Anniversary we decided to get a babysitter and go to the Braves game in Pittsburgh. It was delayed a couple of hours due to rain.



So we hung out under the balcony til it stopped.

Our seats were sweet. We were three rows from Chipper Jones at third. It was fun to get away and watch the Braves play.

That is so great the Grant is potty-trained! How nice would that be? It does make me laugh that you now know where every bathroom is wherever you go. That would be a must.
I can't believe all the fun stuff you guys do! Hope you're having a good summer.
