I think I suck at this blogging thing. It involves too much "remembering" and "laptop time" for me to reasonably do it. I always forget I even have a blog until I see my blog link listed on someone else's blog, with the date of my last update being months ago. Oops. Maybe pictures of my kids just aren't as exciting to me as they used to be...
Well, other than running a "sure I'll watch your kid" babysitting co-op, here are our recent adventures:
POTTY TRAINING:
went well and Indy WAS fully potty trained- no accidents for about a week. Until his cousin came over for a week. Then he got busy playing and un-potty-trained himself. Sort-of.
And yes, Indy is eating peanut-butter bread while sitting on the pot. At least it's whole-wheat bread, right?
POCATELLO PUMP:
I think rather than have "local" and "non-local" categories, they should have a "Rexburg" and "everyone else" categories, cuz the Rexburg climbers keep smashing everyone else. Great job to Heather H. and Justin, who slaughtered both categories. Ben did excellent as well, beat his goal score, and took 3rd for the 3rd year in a row.
Boys:

The Wall:
Ben took this one on himself. It was a little hole, which could have been patched. But Ben was curious about all the sand behind our wall. So he ripped the hole thing off. Thankfully, the new wall is much more stable, thanks to Ben's work and Tom and Justin's expertise.
Mammut Pro Bouldering Comp:
We got to help judge the pre-qualifiers and talk to the pro climbers up-close and personal. It was a BLAST. Dean did a great job of throwing a climbing party (although we never saw him...)
Ben and I at the comp
Ben always asks me why all of us girl climbers go ga-ga for Chris Sharma. Look at him climb. Need I say more?
Another Race:
I competed in the Rush triathlon, just 2 1/2 months after I got the "ok" to start exercising after my c-section. I knew I wouldn't be fast, or competition to anyone really, but I wanted to prove to myself again that having a child doesn't need to disable all of my hopes and dreams and my body. I went slow, did okay, and ended up being 3rd in my age category (out of like 7) which I though was pretty funny. Here's a pic of the award ceremony:
Why am I so short? I always forget that I am.
Thanks to Steph, Joe and Mychelle, and Ben for coming out to support. My friends Beth, Jennifer, and Sherry also did great!
Climbing with Aysha:
I got to meet up with my best friend from high school and go climbing with her in Maple Canyon. We had a blast, and it brought back memories from the good old days at Hangar 18.
What Ben does with sleeping babies:
I don't need to say anything more.
Well, one day I will update this blog again, but that's enough for now!

I love these pictures! Especially the potty-training and sleeping baby, not to mention Ben's wall (which reminds me of his dad!). So glad you posted these, Jenny
LOL - thanks for the update, we've been wondering about you guys! And btw, I'm TOTALLY jealous that you get to meet pro climbers. (and I agree with you - Sharma is AMAZING, that picture is worth everything left unsaid!!)
Oh finally I get to hear about my long lost sister jennilyn! I love it!
Hey, glad to see the updates! WE love seeing new pictures of the kids! We'll have to email you the pics of our Hallowe'en fun last weekend so you can put them on your blog too! I LOVED the picture of Fisher sleeping in the truck...and Indy in his Bob the Builder jammies!
The blog is wonderful! I love the pictures - the potty and truck pictures are priceless!
Too funny! I love the Tonka Truck crib. Even if it takes you awhile to get time to blog it is worth it just so I can see pics like these.
Yeah, sorry to add to the "will you watch my kid for me." But I really do appreciate all the help. Between you, Karen, and Joe, I will graduate!
And I will do what I can to repay all the free babysitting.
Also, I laughed so hard at these pictures.
