Brayden's Potty Book

We are desparate to potty train Brayden since he will be 4 in 2 months. We've been working on it since he turned 3, but he still isn't interested. We recently made a potty book that we read to him while he sits. These are a few of the pictures.

I'm Little and Can Fit Anywhere

Spencer can fit in the doll cradle. His brother and sister even tucked him in with a pillow and blanket.
Spencer can fit in a diaper box.

Spencer can even fit in a small plastic bin.

Snowman and Snow Angels

Our snowman looks a little more like a snow blob than a snowman.

Here's one of Kayla's snow angels. She made a whole army of them on our front lawn.

Allen and Spencer

We have a pretty great sledding hill in our backyard. We have a sleep hill that's part of a dry creek bed. It's a fun ride and a short hike which is perfect for our kids.



Brayden can't drive his car in the snow, so he pushes it all over the yard.

Our kids like to play with the snow like it's sand - with buckets and shovels.

New Year's Eve

We had a Bunco party for New Year's. We played Bunco with 10 couples, had a white elephant gift exchange and shot off legal German bottle rocket fireworks. It was a lot of fun!
The best part of the party was the pink panties. Yazmine wanted the cute bag above, so her husband ended up with pink panties that he even tried on. Nick was hilarious!

My kids were excited for New Year's also. A bunch of kids came over and played in the basement with babysitters. We blew up a bunch of ballons, and then Kayla got the great idea to attach a string to her balloon. She was sad that the string didn't make the balloon float.

Christmas Dinner

The Wrestling MatchI had to take a picture of Frank and Russell wrestling. I was really surprised to see 2 grown men wrestling in my living room! I think Russell won.
My kids love playing with ropes and their friends did too.

Here are the Boyetts. Spencer decided John was his new best friend. We had 22 people over for Christmas dinner - 12 of them were kids. It was a lot of fun and Kayla said, "this was the best Christmas ever."

Christmas Morning

Opening Christmas presents is fun! Cleaning up the mess isn't so fun.
