Congratulations Brett & Hill!!!

So our bestest friends in the whole world are new parents! I know that some of you have been reading their blog and I just wanted to post an awesome update about them. Brett & Hillary (our best friends that live in Cedar) have been trying to adopt a baby for a while now. They have had so many trials and heartaches along the way but it has finally happened for them! They are in Colorado right now picking up their new baby boy, Raife Camden Messer! He was born Saturday morning and he is so stinkin cute!
They have gone through so much in the past few years and we are so excited for them. They are going to be amazing parents! We love you guys and we can't wait to meet him!

Katelynn!

We went and watched Katelynn's (Nate's little sisters) basketball game last week. It was her last home game and also senior night. We are so proud of her - she recieved academic all state and she is also a sterling scholar of her senior class. She has always maintained a 4.0 GPA and she is going to BYU next year on a scholarship. Their team is really good this year and have a really good shot at taking state. Anyway, here are some pictures from that night - the prictures aren't that great because of good old Box Elders lighting in the gym but oh well!

Look at how little she is! She is the third one in and the smallest on her team and no it's not because they are all tall basketball players, she is five feet tall.

Potty Training!

So we are trying to potty train Daxton right now and I need some advise from those of you who have mastered this art! It was going so well up until a couple days ago. He goes #1 just fine and he WAS doing really well with #2 for a while but now he pushes it off to the point he gets constipated and still wont go in the potty. But, the minute you put a diaper on him he lets it go. Aaaaahhhhh!!! It has become a very frustrating process and I think that I am just making it worse for him now. Some people have told me to give it up for a week and come back to it and then he might do better with it. So, any advise you may have would help out a ton because I don't know what else to do!
