Superhero!

Oh, the joys of potty training. This has been the topic of conversation lately between Easton and I. He wants to be a big boy and he is interested in the "big boy underwear", he just wants nothing to do with the big white scary toilet. He won't even sit on it for fun.

He is obsessed with Buzz-lightyear from the movie "Toy Story", so we made a trip to the store yesterday. He picked out underwear and we took a trip down the toy aisle. He went crazy over the big Buzz-lightyear toys. He wanted a super cool toy that was a super $100. His birthday is in March and we will save a lot of money not buying diapers. Oh, who am I kidding, it is worth $100 not to have to wipe his stinky rear anymore! I told him that if he learned to go potty in the toilet, Buzz-lightyear would be his. I purchased some Buzz-lightyear wings to ease the pain of leaving without the toy he really wanted.

Fast forward to today. We have a super hero flying around our house keeping us out of harms way. He protects me as I make my way from the laundry room to the bedroom. He uses his special laser to keep the bad guys from getting me. So, what happened to the underwear? That is not a hat he is wearing. At least they are clean!

I guess superheroes are even hard to potty train!

Holiday Fun

Christmas was full of excitement. This is a picture of Madison and Makenzie waiting to go downstairs to see if Santa found our house. The door that is shut behind them is Easton's room. He was in there having his first "time out" for the day. Boys are full of trouble, even in the early morning.

Santa found our house and the kids were excited.

This picture was taken at Makenzie's Pre-school program. Easton didn't want anything to do with Santa. He only wanted the candy that Santa was giving out. The girls made sure they told Santa everything they wanted.

Madison had a Christmas Dance Recital this year. Grandma Hathaway and Grandma Allen were kind enough to attend, which made Madison so excited. She loves her grandmas.

Santa put a Book of Mormon and a scripture tote in each of the kids' stockings this year. What a wise Santa! Anyway, Boone and I came into the living room and found Easton sitting on the couch reading his Book of Mormon. So cute!

We had and "Ugly Christmas Sweater or Outfit" party this year. Even the kids joined in. I forgot my camera, so I am waiting to get pictures from family. My brothers outdid themselves! It was fun and full of laughter. The holidays were fun and we spent quality time with family, but it is good to be back into a routine with the kids.

Here is to a great 2010!
