Summerfest

Last weekend was Ankeny's summer celebration, Summerfest.  We took Heisman to the carnival on Thursday night where he rode a few rides and played the duck pond game.  He loved the rides, especially the Sizzler with Tony!  Of course Tony had to play the basketball game!  We also went to the parade on Saturday which was super hot!!!  Heisman got a bucket full of candy but was ready to leave the parade after an hour and a half.  I think the parade lasts 2+ hours!  Since we had plenty of candy and he was really sweaty we left early.  I was kind of glad he wanted to leave too :)

June

June has been a busy month!  We usually go to the pool a few times a week or play in Heisman's little pool on the patio.  There are always neighbor kids to play with too!  We enjoyed a day at the lake with my sister and her boys, went to the dentist and got to go onto the field for the coin toss at the Barnstormers game.... I forgot to mention that Heisman is now potty trained!  He would go to the bathroom every once in awhile before bath time but I was waiting until school was out so we could work on it this summer.  The first week of summer we went to the store and picked out some super hero underwear and then he decided he was done with diapers and wanted to wear his undies!  That was all it took!  He never had a single accident (he still wears diapers to bed).  It was the easiest thing ever!  I guess I waited long enough until he was really ready.  Oh, he also has to go to the bathroom every time we are at church.  He will try and get away with 2 trips to the bathroom but now I say one is enough!
