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!!

SANTA CLAUS!

No crying this year but Marshall still doesn't look comfortable on Santa's lap

Telling Santa what they wanted him to bring them for Christmas

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

A Man and his Tractor!

We finally got our sideyard cleared of tumbleweeds and Burkley was right there enjoying all the action!

A day at the park

You can't deny that we are having awesome weather now and it's a shame to not get out and enjoy it! We had the park to ourselves so it was pretty easy for me to not have to worry about Marshall stealing other kids sand toys. He has gotten the idea of going UP to go DOWN the slides.

This is their favorite one!

We had the park to ourselves except for one boy who Burkley chased around asking if he was his friend?

I decided this morning that I would let Marsh feed himself breakfast and this is what the outcome was!? I still have to say that clean-up was better than having to sit down and feeding him myself!

Halloween Fun!

Burkley got a kick out his vampire teeth
After trick-or-treating we got to celebrate Gpa Secrist's birthday!

Halloween Carnival

We braved the COLD and went to a neighborhood carnival last night which was a lot of fun!

Burkley was (as he would say) the "Farmer in the dell" and Marshall his cow
