Christmas Update....

We had such a fun Christmas up in the snow at Grandma & Grandpa Secrist's. The kids all got matching pj's and jingle bell slippers from Grandma Hunt - which they LOVED!
Good thing he got his own Lightning McQueen rider because

he was already trying to swipe Burk's present
which was the highlight of Burkley's Christmas! "Mack" from Cars - thanks Grandpa!
Burk's binoculars/view finder
Marshall's new blocks
Our "Happy" family - yea right!

Potty Training!

I have to quickly say that we have been potty training Burkley since Thanksgiving and it has not been the nightmare we thought it would be! We started with letting him pick out some special candy that he would get when he went in the potty (or the backyard, since it's the easiest and just #1), then the big boy underware which he was excited to wear and some Matchbox cars for when he went #2. With the exception of a few minor accidents he has done awesome! It is a part-time job, don't get me wrong, but having three children in diapers come March did not sound fun to me. Anyways, yeah Burkley!!

Thanksgiving in the Snow!

We spent Thanksgiving in Heber and we actually got SNOW! We also got to hunt for our first real Christmas tree! We picked a smaller Douglas Fur because it was so full. It was really fun and the boys loved the snow.
Marshall loved to find sticks and carry them around
We made a trip to the park to get the kids out
We also had playdough to try and keep them occupied

This is pretty much how they looked every night - exhausted! Burkley and Devyn skipped naps everyday because they we having so much fun - which meant turning in early
