Splash Pad
We came down to my parents for Easter weekend and went shopping at the spectrum. The had a splash pad and the kids had the best time running around getting wet. What a BLAST!
Much Needed Update
Well it has been a while since I have blogged and I have been feeling rather guilty about it. I was talking to my mom about how I have a horrible memory and I cant remember hardly anything from my childhood and I got to thinking about how I don't want to forget anything about my children's childhood, so I am going to try keep up with the blog that way I can go back and read about my kids and family.
We are currently living in Lemoore, CA and our approaching the 2 year mark in our Navy career. We like Lemoore but are very excited about our transfer to San Diego coming up in September. In the meantime, Mike will be heading out for a 6 month deployment leaving on Tuesday and coming back sometime in September. We are really sad about it are will really really miss him. While Mike is gone the kids and I are going to move in with my parents in their new house in San Clemente, CA. We leave Lemoore on April, 26th and will head down to my parents. We are sad to be leaving some of the wonderful friends that we have come to know and love in Lemoore but we know it will be a great opportunity for us to save money and to be closer to the grandparents.
Michael is enjoying his time in the Navy and is doing a really good job. He works long and crazy hours which means we hardly ever see him but we are proud of him. He just sold his very first car that he ever had and bought himself a motorcycle. He is so happy to have the motorcycle and I am a little nervous about it of course.
Logan is 3 and will be 4 in September. He is a happy-go-lucky boy and is a joy in our household. He is super smart and loves to ride his bike. He is currently in LOVE with beyblades and will play them all day long and tell anyone and everyone all about them. He started primary this year and loves to sing songs and learn about Jesus. He is looking forward to playing with grandma and grandpa this summer, learning how to swim better, and starting preschool in the fall.
Miss Parker is the cutest little handful anyone could ask for. She is now 18 months and will be starting nursery the week after conference. She can say almost any word you ask her too but only if she wants too. She is quite stubborn like her mama. She loves her brother but doesn't quite get the concept of sharing with him. She is a wonderful sleeper and loves to take naps. She thinks every stuffed animal is her "baby" and will carry them around all day. She knows how to fold her arms during prayer and to say amen. She has beautiful blue eyes and loves to suck on her 2 fingers. We love her very much!
Well I am busy trying to keep everything together. I just recently quit my job coaching gymnastics so I could focus on the move and spend time with Mike before he left. I am training to run my first 5K in April and I am really excited we'll see how it goes. I am trying to prepare myself for Mike to leave but don't really know how to do that so I am doing the best I can. my family is the best part of my life and I am thankful everyday for them. More to come from the Lainharts (hopefully ;p )

Parker's blessing
We blessed Parker on Nov. 6th in my parents ward. Michael was really nervous but he did a really great job. We had a lot of family there to support us and Danny and Brieghann representing for the Lainhart side. It was nice to see everyone and spend time with the family. It is amazing to have my children blessing in the church and to have a worthy husband who can do it.

Baka Parker
"Hi baka Paker, Hi baka Parker!" This is what Logan is constantly saying to Parker. He is trying to say "baby Parker" but it comes out as "baka Parker" it's pretty cute actually. He loves her so much. The first few days of her life he wasn't really sure about her and was getting pretty jealous that I was spending so much time with her. Now he loves to help, he throws her diapers in the trash, gives her her binkie, and makes sure we all know when she is crying. He is going to be a great big brother. She has been in our lives for 3 weeks and it has been amazing. I feel like she has always been a part of out family and that she makes our family complete (for now.) I couldn't have asked for a better newborn, she is so mellow and easy just like Logan was. I think my parents were secretly hoping that I would get a hellion child like I was but so far they are both great. She only wakes up once a night to nurse then goes straight back to sleep. The only thing that is hard for me is that I still feel very sleep deprived which leaves me with almost no energy for the rest of the day. And of course my 2 yr old is a ball of energy which makes things a little difficult. The first few weeks were hard for me though. The c-section was harder to recover from then last time so I was in a lot of pain. I broke out in this horrible, itchy rash due to the pain killers I was taking so I had to stop taking them and deal with the pain. Then I got a bad cold that lasted for about a week, and lastly I got about 75 (not really, but still) cold sores on my bottom lip due to all the stress I was under. Fortunately most of all that crap has gone away and I m on my way to being back to normal. I love my kids so much and am so grateful to be a mother.
Potty Training
I've been putting off potty training for months, I kept telling myself that he wasn't ready yet but really I was just to lazy to put in the effort. My mom bought me this book a few months back called Potty Training in One Day, so I finally decided to try it. Basically you sit with your child for hours and hours and do nothing but teach him how to use the potty. It took us about 3 hours of sitting in the kitchen with lots of treats until he finally started to get the hang of it. He had a few accidents that day but not as bad as I thought it would be. It's been 3 days and since then he has been doing great. He had one accident yesterday and none today so far. He even will tell me sometimes when he has to go. Although I will not let him out of my sight and am constantly asking him if he needs to go potty. The only downfall has been that he still has yet to go #2 since we have started. So it has been 3 days and he is holding it in because I think he is afraid to go on the potty and doesn't want to go in his underwear. So we are working on it. I am glad he is making such good progress and I am hoping within the next few weeks he will be fully potty trained. Don't know what took me so long, it will be so nice to only have 1 kid in diapers!!!
