Boys, boys, boys!

A couple of weeks ago we went on a fun adventure. Anytime we add the word to adventure to anything, the boys are excited to go! (Let's go on an adventure to the doctor's office) We walked out onto a frozen pond that is close by. It was so cool to be standing in the middle of the pond and then to slide around. We had a blast!

One of the boys favorite things were the fishing holes that were scattered around everywhere. They thought it was fun to throw little ice chunks inside. Towards the end we were walking around and found, what we thought, was a bag or some kind of cloth, we walked towards it and we were so wrong. It was a dead, frozen, duck. Seriously, one of the saddest things ever, the boys kept going on and on asking questions about what it was and how it got there. Sad.

I never did post the boys Christmas pajamas. I thought they were pretty cute and I was thrilled to be able to get the same ones for each of them! Justin said that poor Levi was going to be sick of these pajamas by the time he was 5!!
I am learning more and more that boys just naturally love guns!
And now, one of the most exciting things that is going on around here these last couple of days, is Taylor has now used the potty, successfully 4 times in 1 1/2 days!! And another time he went into the bathroom by himself, but didn't quite make it in time. Oh, I thought this day would never come. I already am preparing myself for lots of accidents and I know I am the one that has to keep on reminding him, but oh, we are moving in the right direction...hip, hip, hurray!

I also have to mention this hilarious story (or at least Justin and I thought it was). This was a couple of days ago (you know, when Taylor was still in diapers!) He had just gone stinkies (that's what we call it) in his diaper and I was getting ready to change him, obviously going way too slow. Corbin and Taylor were wrestling in the family room and I could hear Corbin screaming help, help. I run in there and Taylor has got Corbin pinned around his leg, with Corbin facing, well you know where. Corbin yells, help, it stinks, it stinks!!

Corbin and Taylor have such a funny relationship. While I was finishing this post, Taylor was showing Corbin his scrap on his leg and Corbin tried to touch it. Taylor said, "no, only I can touch it" Then for some reason, Corbin felt bad and so Taylor said, "okay, only you and me can touch it". So Corbin touches it and Taylor says, "NO, don't push hard!". And now Corbin can not touch it again.
