Doing my Best

Dakota likes her popsicles!! So I let Owen color on paper with a pen today and he did that for awhile then he colored all over his legs! He is quite the kid. We had a good 4th of July. We went up to Brian Head with some friends and had a BBQ. We were going to stay for the fireworks but Owen got too cold and was whiney so we saw them as we left. We atleast avoided the traffic jam. It was nice. I got to thinking sometimes it would be nice to just get a break from kids for more than an hour and go do something like that without having to worry where they are at and if they are okay. I think that is a sign that Nate and I need to go on a long date. That would be fun. We are scared to leave Dakota with a babysitter though. One, she won't take a bottle, but she does eat solids. Two, she has stranger anxiety or something because she cries alot when we leave her. I am okay with her crying, but I worry about the babysitter. I just need to find somebody willing to deal with that and make dakota get used to it!!! Owen loves the pop its. He got to do them for the first time the other day. It is funny how something so cheap and little is so amazing to a child. I love it. We are babysitting my little brother and sister this week. Owen will love it. he loves Keagan and Vanessa. He will have tons of fun. I will have to watch Dakota well. Keagan loves her so much and is such a big helper if you know what I mean. Well I have to go work at the gym. See ya later.
