Potty Training!!!!!!!!!

So we are slowly potty training last week introduction to the potty, with familiarizing her with the potty lingo, and Of course the interestingly funny Elmo Potty training video, this week is training diapers and then next week it is into the training pants it has been interesting and of course there are the great days and the well "crappy" days! But she also seems to be changing in the fact that she is really testing me and well to say the least it hasn't been going so well, she just doesn't want to listen or obey so we are saying prayers more with her and getting down on her level to help get this frustrating little phase out of the way... okay let me re-phrase that I just put on the big girl panties because well you understand!!! Fun Fun...........

ART got his board exam back on the DO exam and HE PASSED AGAIN alittle above average SO WHOO HOO! life can continue we went out to Black Angus to celebrate last night! He is helping a family in the ward today move. He finally is starting to enjoy his rotation, there are two doctors he truly enjoys shadowing and are really great surgens ON TOP OF THAT HE GOT TO STICH a patient the other day under the doctors suppervision, he was very nervous and wasn't sure exactly what to do but the doctor started him and let him do a little stiching and then the doctor finished, the next patient went alittle smoother! Exciting! He also picked up a web camera for us so that we can see and chat with family Addy was soo excited to see her grandparents and then today we chatted with Uncle Levi it was great!

I am well reading the Twilight series on ALL my free time and loving the series! My girlfriend and I are working out at 6 am in the morning which although very early and tiring I get a work out in and feel better the rest of the day now if I can just get to sleep before 11pm I be doing great. We are planning a really quick trip to Arizona, My mom just had her first knee replacment so my grandma came down for her to assist in the recovery and Arthurs sister Hannah is also down visiting so we get a little family reunion over this next weekend!

Thank you for the Congrats!

It is interesting with Art gone in different surgeries and home when he isn't needed! He correspondes with fellow classmates so that he doesn't always have to be in every surgery, sooo it is great on days like this because he was able to be there for Addies last day at swim lessons today, which is always fun! But then there are the days where he has to be there from 8-6 and it makes for a very LONG day on his feet! He loves the doctors that actually interact and show him different things but gets very borde when all he does is watch....but it is far better than tests, and book work, any day! He just finished the Twilight Series and has a little free time to play his WONDERFUL video games and computer games!

I have been very busy with hair lately, but really enjoy it because I get a break from the mommy talk and am able to work with my hands, and creativity which is ALWAYS GREAT!!! I have soo many pictures to post, I want to do a slide show of our summer events, but need to figure it outfirst I guess that would help! So forgive me for not posting more pictures just yet! I am just starting the Twilight series on top of practicing my knitting, my never ending crochetting project, and the additional self-help book! But its what ever keeps ya going and happy right! I really have been enjoying adult conversations with the wonderful clients I have up here!

Addy is always busy, she LOVES coloring, and maybe too much coloring on herself at times, and being in her room alone, she is up there just playing and watching, the one Barney we own, and some times doesn't like us interfering so she closes her door... We are soo blessed she is sooo great with babies and is such an easy sweet little girl, we just love watching her new discoveries and little attempts at sentences, we are slowly introducing the POTTY to her so wish us luck with that! But for the most part just enjoys being at our level jumping around on our bed, sitting on our counter watching us prepare dinner, books, barney, and well the normal kiddey things! LIFE IS GREAT!

We LOVE it when we get to baby sit our friends little ones of which most are one and under! It give Addy great experience and I just love watching her get close and wave and blow kisses to the infants, she interacts so well, and is so soo cute with them! Thank you again for your support and congrats to arthur we just loved hearing from all of you! WE hope and pray that all of you are happy and well, and look forward to chatting with ya soon!!!

Passed Yeah Baby!!

I PASSED THE M.D. TEST, Thanks for all the support and prayers. I did alright considering that the day before I found out my study partner did not pass and I did not sleep the day before or the day after because I was so wound up. I didn't do too bad either. Thanks to everyone that answered the call.
Lots of Love,
Art
