Trip to Moab before Elizabeth leaves on her mission

My whole family went to Moab for the whole week. We went to Arches, and Canyonlands and had a blast. We went on tons of hikes that almost put me into labor. It was overcast and rained sometimes which made it perfect hiking weather. I love camping and could have stayed another week. We took Tacoma on most of the hikes with our back pack, but he got restless and we let him walk. He walked 1/2 a mile all by himself. We just had to slow him down a few times while he was trying to run down slick rock. Any way we went camping as a family one last time before Elizabeth leaves on her mission the 24th of June she is going to serve in Panama City, Spanish speaking mission we are all so jealous of her. She is going to be a great missionary. If I was any bigger I wouldn't have fit sideways All of the grandkids with my parents in Arches National park Tacoma loved the dirt Tacoma and Mauriella became the best of friends on this trip they were always together laughing. Hike to Landscape Arch Tacoma fell asleep

Fun Memorial Day Weekend

If you ask Tacoma Cuantos anos tienes? this is what he does Tacoma watching T.V He thinks he is so funny when he has something on his head. On Monday we went with Paul's sister Maudie and her kids on a hike up Timponogos and brought a lunch. It was fun to be surrounded by nature and sit in front of a water fall and eat lunch I wish we could do that everyday. On Saturday we went hiking with some of Paul's nephews up Rock Canyon We stayed with Paul's family during Memorial day weekend. On Thursday I went to Laura's (Paul's sister) baby shower we are three weeks a part. But she is having twins.

Tacoma understands Spanish and recognizes some letters

Potty training Disaster

I started to potty train Tacoma with hopes that he will be potty trained before the baby gets here in July. It was the most exhausting day of my life. I didn't think it would be that hard. Any way I just let him go commando most of the day and gave him tons to drink. I set the timer so that I could put him on the potty every 30 min. Well I got him to sit on the potty for 30 min. I brought his potty to the kitchen I read him books and fed him treats. After thirty min. of nothing I let him go play five minutes later I hear some grunting so I run over pick him up and try to put him on the potty he threw a fit kicking and screaming and some poop went flying. Then he stepped on it. But we were able to get a little bit in. I thought it was a success. so I gave him tons of praise candy stickers and we went and bought him some new undies. We started again after the trip to the store. My sister called so I let him go and play when I went to find him he had pooped on the carpet. I am going to keep trying but this is messy business. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
