About Me

Welcome to our blog!! This is a blog about our life, mostly from Jennifer's perspective. We were married in July 2007 at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas and then sealed together for eternity in the Albuquerque New Mexico Temple in June 2009. We welcomed Ms. Ellie Sophia into our lives on February 9, 2010 and she is absolutely the light of our lives. Then we added Silas Ian on January 4, 2013 and his smile just brightens our days. We live in Rio Rancho, New Mexico where Justin works as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and I pursue my PhD in Nursing while being a stay at home mom! Life is so chaotic but we really couldn't ask for a more perfect life!

Princess Potty

On several occasions I have considered beginning to potty train the girl. I think she is totally ready, but I have been procrastinating because I don't really want her to not wear diapers. Isn't that horrible?! I really, logistically, can't figure out the benefits of her being potty trained at this juncture. Sure - no more diapers BUT she can't really access the potty like she needs to and as quickly as she needs to on her own. She can open doors now but with some amount of effort, she can't maneuver (fine motor skills wise) getting her pants down, and she can tell me when we are expecting a #2 but not a #1. I, knowing that it must be done eventually, brought out her potty chair and she loved it. She found it quite nice for enjoying some juice and some television.....Just like her dad :)


As you can see in the picture above she likes to sit with her feet in the potty "going" area - I think we will have to work on changing that.


Soon enough.....soon enough!
