And the binky is . . . . . . . . . . . .


. . . . . . . . . . . . . . G G G O O O N N N E E E
Whoopee! Finally! OK so I think it is anyway, it has only been one day but honestly it's taken forever! I kept saying that as soon as Chase turned two it would be gone. My plan was to circumcise the binky, you know cut off the tip. It worked for my sister and my sister in law. But Chase didn't care. He sucked on it anyway. It didn't phase him at all. So I cut a little more off, but he got mad for about 2 seconds and then sucked away. So then I got pretty lazy about it. He only used it go to sleep. But last weekend we went camping, and he didn't seem as into it as usual. So Tuesday night when I was at work and Tim put the kids to bed, he hid the binky and the stuffed froggy. Chase associates the two and has to sleep with them both. I guess Chase didn't say anything about them and went to bed just fine. But when he woke up in the morning, they were in his bed so I don't know if Matt gave them to him or if he found them or what. But yesterday before I put Chase down for his nap I hid the binky. When he saw his froggy he asked for the binky. I said it went bye bye. He got upset and looked under his bed and behind his bed and demanded that I find it for him, but I just kept saying it was gone and went bye-bye. Finally he went back and laid on his pillow and said very calmly, "bye bye binky" and then went to sleep. It was that easy! Last night when we put the boys to bed, he didn't even ask for it!
Whoo Hoo, let's hope this lasts!

Camping at Bear Lake

Just a warning, this post has a lot of pictures. We went camping with some friends for Memorial Day Weekend. We ended up going to Bear Lake for 3 nights. We had a ton of fun. The boys had fun running around and riding their bikes with all the other kids. It is nice to go with people that the boys can play with. Chase kept getting into water and getting his clothes soaking wet so he went through about 8 outfits in three days.
We went rock climbing in Logan Canyon on Saturday. We had never been but we had a lot of fun and want to do it some more. We went to the beach on Monday morning and flew some kites that we had. It was a little chilly and the water was really cold so I didn't think the boys would want to get in the water, but Chase got in anyway (fully clothed) and Matt got in a little too.
It was a really fun weekend and ended with my brother in law calling to see if Tim wanted to go fishing so they even got some fishing in there.

kind of a dark picture, but the kids eating breakfast in the trailer

Kamron really liked his little chair

Matt got a few opportunities to shoot his BB gun

The place we went rock climbing was 3 feet from the really busy road so we tried to keep all 10 of the kids in the back of the truck

Tim made it all the way to the top
