Unforgettable moments

Here are a few stories that have transpired that I hope not to forget…

This morning Sylvia the elf brought hot cocoa and marshmallows for The boys. Landon and Nolan were shoving as many marshmallows has they could in their mouth's while I loaded the car. It ended in a fight where Nolan bit Landon. Then Landon was crying so hard he threw up the marshmallows all over Carter's book bag and winter coat.it has been quite a morning and it's only 7:30 AM.

While reading our bedtime story,  Nolan says "me don't like spiders, poop, and boogers." It was so matter of fact and hard for me to keep a straight face

The boys have recently been asking to use my phone to take pictures and videos of each other.  The results are just too funny!

Brotherly snuggles


We have one tree in our backyard and during a severe wind storm half of the tree cracked off.  This was the tree that we color with sidewalk chalk: "The Rainbow Tree".  We hope that it doesn't die because the boys love to climb that tree.  As you can see, they are still climbing even though it is damaged.


One morning while getting ready for school, I heard Nolan and Landon talking in the bathroom.  I peeked in the door and saw this.  They were talking about the dreams they had that night.

With hopes of keeping the kids in their own beds all night long, Bob grabbed Mario vinyl stickers as a reward for the boys.  Each night they wake up in their own bed they get to choose a sticker for their wall.  So far it has been working out very well.  Carter is admiring them all as he reads at night.

The other day Landon wanted to play outside but he was wearing "short pants".  I said if you are heading outs tide you are going to have to wear long pants.  I gave him two choices of pants to put on.  He says, "Mom can I wear jeans instead?"  In my head I am thinking…did I hear that right…he hates jeans because they are not fluffy enough.  I grabbed him a pair of jeans.  He put them on and said, "Dad will give me a few extra Wii minutes for wearing these!"  I cracked up!

No more diapers

It is official…the Boone family is diaper free!  After six long years of buying, changing, and disposing of dirty diapers we are finally done with those!  It is kinda crazy to think we don't have to carry a huge diaper bag full of diapers, wipes, rash cream, and extra clothes in case of a blow out. Around December Nolan began to be interested in the idea of going potty on the potty.  He would come into the bathroom to watch everyone and when the boys were going he would press his diaper against the toilet to pretend.  The whole potty training process can be quite exhausting so for him and my best interest we decided to wait until summertime.  He was very quick start going on the potty.  I have to say, ugh how I hate the potty seat.  It is just the most disgusting thing ever!  I tried to get him to use the big potty with a seat insert but he was scared since it was so tall.   He looks like such a big boy on the potty seat!

Nolan's First Bath and a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Boone

On day 10 the best thing happened...Nolan's umbilical cord fell off.  I tell you what when that happens I get so excited because it is stinkin gross and I am always worried I am going to hurt him.  We found it in his diaper during a diaper change and Carter shouted, "Mommy Nolan's vilical cord came off!" I cracked up!  He knew that when that happened he now gets to take a bath in his big boy bath tub.  We quickly got out the tub and filled it with water.  The boys each grabbed a washcloth and helped to clean Nolan.  Nolan cried at first but as soon as Carter and Landon started to help he was calm as a cucumber.  They loved to squeeze the water on his body and wash his tummy. I gave Nolan a bath a few days later by myself and he screamed the whole time at the top of his lungs.  From that day forward I am sure the boys have to help me give him bath to keep him calm. Last week Bob's dad Arlin and Barb stopped through on their way home ...

Changes are coming our way fast!  Having two in diapers is costly...believe me we have done it before and my wallet is still crying.  As we approach the birth of baby #3 getting Landon out of diapers became a top priority.  He was not really interested and almost kinda scared at first.  He could and would tell me as soon as he finished going potty in his diaper that he needed to be changed.  He was also waking up in the morning with a dry night time diaper.  This was a sign for me to start pushing him into big boy underpants.  I don't mess around with pull ups we just switch to underpants cold turkey and just carry quite a few change of clothes with us.  When he realized that he was wearing underpants just like Carter he was hooked.  It took about two weeks of hard core potty training but he is going on the potty like a champ.  Every time he goes on the potty we all celebrate and everyone gets a treat.  Carter is extremely excited a...
