Exciting Week

This week has been an exciting and a tear jerking one so far, and it is only Wednesday. Both of my boys are growing up, and begining to explore the world on their own.

Yesterday I get a phone call at work from Sean with him telling me that Carson went potty. Sean is the only person that Carson will go potty for. I have mixed feelings because I know Carson is my last baby and I won't be changing anymore diapers EVER!!! WOOHOO!!! Then again Carson is my last baby, and I won't be changing anymore diapers ever. Also, my 10 year old son is potty training him. I haven't figured if it is a good thing or a bad thing, but it is working for everyone in this household.

Today I sent Sean away to Salt Lake City on an airplane all by himself. He is going to be spending the week with Scott's parents (Papa and Nana), and three of his cousins that are his age. They all have the weekend planned with going to Indiana Bones at the Desert Star theater. I was kind of having anxiety with having Sean away from me for almost a week, but Scott told me to suck it up. So sucking it up it is. He called me this evening to let me know that he got to Salt Lake safe and sound, then he asked to talk to Carson. He didn't want to talk to anyone but his little brother. I love the way they adore each other.

Carly has also been a huge help. Her favorite thing to do this summer is going to the pool. I love Washington City because everytime we go swimming Carly always finds a friend to swim and play on the waterslide with, and I am able to keep a better eye on Carson. She is looking forward to going to Salt Lake next week with one of her best friends Wyatt. We are going to be going to Lagoon, Raging Waters and the zoo. I think we are all counting down the days when we arrive on our mini vacation.

I wish I had pictures for this post, but I always forget to bring my camera. Next time I will do better. I am still trying to figure out how to change the layout on my blog as well. I am sure I will get to it eventually.

This is a sweet post. You are very brave to send your son away but I guess at 10 he can handle it and will have a blast.
Your trip to SLC sounds like soooooo much fun!

PS. love your new layout!
