Sledding finally

-
This winter has been quite interesting with the weather. We have worn winter coats and shorts in the same week.  The boys have been dying to play in the snow and I have been hoping for a snow day!!  We all got our wish and lucky us...Bob worked from home that day too!  The boys were dressed and outside in the snow at 8am!
 
After shoveling the driveway, Nolan was painting the snow all different colors!

Aunt Katie got Landon this super cool mold of a penguin...he made a whole "army" of penguins in the backyard.
We jumped at the chance to meet our friends the Truax's (Alissa, Max, and Mari) at the sledding hill.


I love to sled and it is so much fun to do with the boys!

Nolan was a dare devil for sure.  He rode down all by himself and many times backwards!!  He was a trooper as he drug his sled up the hill each time.


This was Max's first time sledding.  The first time he went down he ran right into a little girl at the bottom of the hill completely knocking her legs out from under her.  She was bawling and her mom quickly put her in the car and drove off...she wasn't hurt.  Max would not go down for a long time because of that dramatic event.  Looking back at it...Alissa, Bob and I had to laugh! It was unforgettable!

Mari wanted me to go down on the sled with her.  I was excited until in mid ride we reached super speed and I realized I needed to bail out or I might kill her if I land on top of her.  As I jumped to the side, the sled flipped and we both crashed.  The sled cracked and broke.  I was so worried she would be upset and cry but she said, "Miss Heidi that was ridiculously hilarious!"  We laughed so hard and went down again!  Poor sled ended up in the garbage can not to long after that.

We had such a great time sledding!

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...
