Park Fun

We found a new park...and boy did the kids have fun exploring...

tunnels...

obstacles... 

Mason and Daddy 

Up high on a bridge 

Such a cool park! 

The kids were smiling ear to ear 

Corben holding Mason's hand while helping her cross the moving bridge 

Corben went down as many slides as he could 

And he had so much FUN!

POTTY TRAINED

Hooray for Mason....she is potty trained!

She has been asking to go more and more and we just went straight to big girl panties....today is the 3rd day and she is doing great.  We have even gone at a few stores and #2 has not been a problem for her! 

Mason...27 1/2 months...using the big girl potty!

Organization & Good Deed Cards

My attempt at Organization for the new year 

The kids have a clip board

We started a new "Good Deed Card"

They get 13 hole punches and then they will get to pick a new toy ...at the Dollar Store =) 

(Mason has gotten her points for peeing and pooping on the toliet)

Trying anything to get good behavior

Corben has gotten his points for not peeing his bed in the middle of the night

Making Valentines

Corben and Mason helped peel crayons and break them into our mold 

Big smiles helping make Valentines 

Colorful Heart Crayons...they turned out perfectly! 

Wrapped up for Corben's preschool 

Birthday Party

Corben & Mason went to their first birthday party at a jump house (Pump It Up)

The party was for their friend Braedon Clay

They had so much fun!!

They are pictured on the bottom left in stripes and big smiles!

Letters

I was making a grocery list and Corben wanted to write his letters to spell words

I told him how to spell the words and then he asked if he could write his name.

(First time I've seen him write his last name too)

Pop and Nonie watched the kids for the weekend while Mommy & Daddy went to a wedding in the bay area.

Thanks Pop & Nonie!

New Scooters

The kids got scooters for Christmas 

Mason's is princess and Corben's Toy Story themed 

Still cold outside, so they are scooting in the new game room 

Corben goes pretty fast!

They have three wheels so are quite stable, Mason is actually really good!
