summer fun

summer is making its way to idaho! any warm, free afternoon we have is spent at the splash park. emma is starting to venture off on her own and make new friends, unless trev is with us...then she won't let him leave her side. she still isn't sure about actually going down the slides on her own and for now is just sticking to all the fountains.
lately when I tell emma to "say cheese" she does it while sticking her elbow/ arm in this silly way(pictured below). it cracks me up. i can't get her to ever look at me when taking picture and it drives me crazy!
emma is very independent and set in her ways. we are going to start the potty training in a month and i am hoping that i can keep myself together through it! i am going to try the 3 day potty training program...not that i actually believe that is possible but I am hoping that it cuts down on how long it takes her. some friends have recommended it and i already purchased and read the ebook! a huge perk about it is that there is an online help desk when you buy the book. you can submit specific questions and get a personal response from the lady who wrote the book! i'm pretty sure she could be potty training now but i have got to get through this semester first!

Speaking of school, next week is my last week teaching summer school and then I will only have classes on monday's and wednesday's! i have major senioritis and the worm weather doesn't help. 1 month until i graduate!
and another countdown.......7 days until my bday! : ) it is a pretty big deal around here.
