Summer Update



Update time again. Things are a moving and a shaking in the Slaughter household.

Eric- Is still going to school like a mad man. He will earn his bachelors this August. WAHOO!  Within a week he will start the MPA program at the University of Utah. He's still working and is always looking for something full time and permanent that he can hopefully transition to after school. We are so proud of him and all that he does for us. He also signed up for the Tough Mudder race in October 10 miles and 25 obstacles one including electric fence. He's crazy but I love him.

Me-I got a little crazy and decided to sign up for a sprint Triathalon. I knew if I wanted to get my butt in gear I had to commit to something. So August 18th I'll be swimming 300M, Biking 12miles and running 3.2 with my sister Melanie. It will fun, uh, I hope so. I love being able to stay home with my kiddos. Its been really funning learning to swim like an adult is what I say. It's hard work, I think just as hard as running.

Caden-Finished kindergarten and loved it. He's so anxious for 1st grade. Who doesnt want lunch and 3 recesses? I, on the other hand, am super nervous for him to be going full time-all day. Sad, but it will also allow Macey and I to go and do more things. Caden is  a crazy good reader and excellent at math. He is playing Machine pitch baseball this summer and continuing swim lessons. He loves it.

Macey-Is so funny she has so much personality and spunk. We started potty training her this week and to be honest she has KILLED it. I'm blown away. A little nervous now that I mention how good shes doing the earth is going to open up laugh at me and make it all go away. But she really is doing amazing. I said to Eric if Macey was this easy with everything else I'd already be pregnant again. HAHA. She starts preschool this September and is very, very excited. I also promised her I'd sign her up for dance if she could pee in the potty. So looks like Macey will start ballet this fall.  Can you hardly wait for the chubby thighs in the tights and leotard?  I can't.
