Laetly

So its been a while since I posted about my awesome family! My hubby has been so super busy we are trying to get our lawn in so we dont look so white trash, we had an oppertunity to get free sod so in one day Kasey and his dad and the help of many many others, including our families- put out sprinkling system in, rolled up the sod from someone's lawn and laid it in our yard- he works so hard to provide for our little clan, he just finished school for the summer and will be back next semester- he is trying to stay active with softball and basketball, he comes home and is Auklins best friend! Auklin loves when he comes home- Auklin is growing like a weed and talking so much! I copies everything you say and he is actually a pretty good little talker- He loves to dance and lately he likes to grab your hand and bring you to the middle of the floor and dance with you- :) such a cutie, so yesterday we were in the car and he has been sick lately, we found out it was pneumonia poor little thing has been so sad and just out of it- very needy and sleepy. well we were in the car and I was trying to get him to livin up so I turned on the music and said do you want to dance? He of course said nooooo! So then a few min later I reached back and said can mommy hold your hand? and he took my hand and then reached for my other hand, we were parked so I was able to reach back there with both hands and he started bobbing his head and trying to shake his body to dance with me :) it was so precious- it was the first time in a couple weeks he looked that lively- I just loved it! He is much better now, thank goodness! We are just enjoying life and trying to get out in the nice weather when it is here! There is a lot to come this summer! Bring on the summer!!!!!

Austin Mark



So the last May Birthday has finally come and gone- Our dear little Austin Mark Burningham- His birthday was the day after mine- He is also the newest member of the Craven family- He is super smart and very dedicated to everything he does, mainly school and wake boarding ;) he is an avid wake boarder and will live on the water all summer long as long as he gets his new house up and running. He stays super busy not only with his job at Murdock but his job on KSL... hehe well for those of you that know Austin you know what I mean! He likes to joke around and find things about people to tease- :) He is always finding ways to earn money and provide for his new little family- Jillisa :) We hope you had a great birthday Austin!

Jilli


So I am a day late due to demoing a house and just not getting my act together- Yet another Birthday in this fine month of May- my dear sweet sister in law Jillisa- She is now of legal age and I will tell you one thing she sure has grown up so much the past little while- She just got married and bought a new house- We all know the stressors in those 2 events, Jillisa has always been worry free spirited and so laid back. She likes to make others happy even if she doesnt get what she wants. She has such an optimistic attitude and is so strong for how little she is! She has her own way of thinking and no matter how bizzar it is it fits her just right-She is going to beauty school and is so great at it! Here is to our happy little Jillisa- Happy Birthday!!!

Potty training~

Yes you read it right folks! So for the past month I have been just introducing the potty to Auklin and trying to relate to when he goes poop just so he knows and starts early to know what to do- I have also been making it a big deal when Kasey or myself goes on the potty :) I must say he got pretty excited about it and for the past month he would all of a sudden say poop when he pooped in his diaper and then it moved to saying poop right before he poop so I took advantage of that and thought if I sat him on the toilet when he said poop he would relate the two, he never pooped in the toilet but always after I put his diaper back on, so he was getting the idea! - well I think people thought I was jumpin ahead of myself- But I am proud to say bum bum da da- you guessed it! Today he looked right at me and said "uh- oh.... poop"! So I hurried and sat him on the toilet and sure enough Auklin went poopie on the potty!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!! hahahahaha It was awesome! I was going to take a picture and post it but I figure we have all seen poop in a toilet before ;) He was so excited that he did it! he started saying "daddy" so we went and called Kasey and he was running around with a huge grin- WAHOOOO!!!
