Unbroken

My cute husband got me a book for Christmas that my mom already had, so I decided to take it back and browse Barnes and Noble for a good book for my trip to St. George. I saw this book and remembered that my brother in law Jed recommended it...and he only recommends GOOD books :) So I got it, read it, and LOVED it!!! If you're in need of a good book to read, go get this one! It's a true story about a WWII veteran who was an olympic runner before he was drafted. It truly is a story of survival, resilience, and redemption. AWESOME.

Thanks to Santa and Dora....


Camryn's finally potty trained!!! I've been bribing her with going to school because she really wanted to go to school after seeing her cousins in Washington go. But that wasn't quite enough motivation...at least not only that! I finally got one of these Dora potty chairs and Santa sent Camryn this cute video for Christmas (saying she was supposed to try really hard to get to the toilet this year!), and she's been dry, nights now too, pretty much since New Years! Whenever she didn't want to go potty I would say "Oh, Dora's going to be so sad if you don't go visit her on

the toilet!" and she would go right in and go! Luckily, she hates to make people (or things or her food) sad. This was a long process because she was mostly trained before Levi came, but the day he was born, she stopped going in the toilet. It's been a battle ever since! Now that she's trained she's asking to go to school again, so I guess I better get her signed up. Luckily Challenger will take them at 2 years 9 months, which is only a couple months away :)
