We are so excited for the new year and the snow to leave! Here are some of the fun things that we have been up to. I'll start with this week. On Monday I decided to try potty training Drew. He had been showing some interest, and life had slowed down a bit, so I thought what the heck! After 4 hours, I wanted to give up! We stuck it out untill Wednesday morning, when he peed 3 times in 1 hour. And only one time was in the potty. Mission aborted, not enough patience. He told me that he wanted to "safe" his potty party, and I agreed. On Monday I also discovered a crayon in the dryer that had gone through the wash. After reading online I found that you had to spray each individual stain with WD-40 and then rub on liquid dish washer detergent and wash again. Oh I did this, however online they do not warn you about the fact that some dish washer detergent contains bleach. And yes, I ruined a whole load of laundry. Luckily nothing too important. Oh you also have to scrub out the dryer. They recommended toothpaste. If you have a cold do this. Cleaing in a tight compartment with peppermint paste clears out the sinus.
First day of potty training!! We were so hopeful that it was going to work!!
Drew's potty candy stash! He had to get a new sucker each time and one for me also. I am not a huge fan of tootsie pops so I just faked it!
Helping me clean the dryer.
Helping me "bleach" our clothes!
Playing with Nick in the snow!
His first snowman! Yeah it's tiny because the snow wouldn't pack, but he was determined to make one!
Temple Square!
For a week straight Drew kept falling off of our kitchens chairs, while trying to dance or just goofing off. Nick started questioning my parenting skills, and this was his latest just in time for Christmas!
We all decided that she looked more like a gypsie. And of course Drew's "baby Cole" as Jesus

Potty training is the worst, we're attempting to do Blake right now it is SO frustrating!!! If you can catch 'em peeing in the shower or tub and let them know that's what they're doing it helps?! That sucks about all your clothes we wash toy cars at our house!
Looks like you guys had a blast over the holidays! Drew is such a cutie!
Potty training.... it was no fun i totally feel for you! Sometimes if you give them a cup and have them drink all day long and take them potty every 20-30 min they start to recognize the sensation. But Boys are harder i hear! You do such an awesome job with photography! I will have to call you in a few months to do some newborn ones and of my girls if thats ok!?!
I am so glad you came to our New Year's party. It was so great to see you.
Good luck on the potting training! Sounds like a fun xmas. And sorry about the bleach :(
Sorry about the potty training. It can get frustrating. I love your photos. Isn't photography so fun?
I am so not looking forward to potty training! He is so cute though it would be hard to get upset with a face like that! Looks like you guys had alot of fun over the Holidays.
