Potty Training!

So we have started the Potty training full force this past week with Haley! She is actually doing really good, but I must say that it takes a lot of patience to potty train! She has got peeing in the potty down - she has done really well with it - but as far as pooping goes, well lets just say we have not had success yet!
The other day she went poop in her panties and then tried to clean it up herself! When she came out into the kitchen and showed Scott the poop in her hands, he about hurled right there. I was downstairs and I hear Scott yelling at me, "Amelia... I need some HELP up here!" Right then I knew it was a potty training incident, but little did I know what I would come up to find. Haley had fortunately went into the bathroom before she tried to clean it up, but there was poop all over the floor and toilet and her! It was disgusting! So.. I started the bath Scott and I cleaned up the poop, and within about 5 minutes, she started screaming and saying "scared of poop"! Yes, thats right she pooped in the bathtub! By this time you could say that my patience was about gone! And yet I did what I had to do, cleaned the bathtub, and washed my daughter off for the second time. We still have not had success with actually making the poop in the potty, but at least I've always been there when she goes in her panties, or pull up!
Oh the joys!!!

Happy Halloween!

Our ward had their trunk or treat/halloween party on Saturday, so we dressed up the kids! Haley loved being a pretty princess and Parker was the cutest frog prince I had ever seen! We had a lot of fun at the party - Haley was excited about the candy and they also had a tractor ride. Happy Halloween!

The many talents of the Wangsgard children :)

Say Cheese!

I was having fun with my camera this afternoon and took these pictures. I think they turned out pretty good - it helps that he's soooo cute anyway!

Iowa... Home sweet Home... I guess!

This is the front of our house.









This is our front lawn - doesn't it look more like a park! I love it and Haley loves it. I really need a swing set though!











This is the view from our back porch. This is the closest thing to mountains in Iowa!







A sunrise in Iowa, Scott took this one morning - the sunrises are so pretty!

Lake Michigan

About a week ago, Scott had a training in Racine Wisconsin and the whole family decided to go! We took Haley to Lake Michigan (Racine is just off the shore) and she loved watching the water splash against the rocks.





She also loved playing in the pool at the hotel, and Parker hung out in is swing while we swam ( he is such a good baby! )
