Catching up

Here are some odds and ends from around our house lately. It sure is a crazy house with two boys but it is very entertaining. :) We are so blessed!!

One day last weekend we were home for most of the day so we just decided to put Ethan in some underwear and see what happened. With Braden I did the 3 day boot camp where we stayed home all day and only worked on potty training. Sadly enough, I feel like these days we don't have 3 days to stay home (poor second child ) so I told Chris maybe we should just work on it here and there when we can and see what happens. I pumped him with yummy drinks and he watched Barney while on the potty. He actually pottied twice and pottied in his undies ones. I don't think he cared either way. ha! We cheered for him and he got mad...or embarrassed and asked us to stop.
I cannot get over new undie booties!!! I remember thinking Braden's tush looked too cute when he first wore a pair of underwear...it's just so cute and different than that bulky diaper. Well not only do I think Ethan's tush is cute, but I can't get over the chunkiness of his legs. Crack me up!!!! Look at these two side by side. I love it!

Ethan's favorite towel is this frog towel. After his bath, he does not want to get his pj's on and instead ribbits all over the house. :)

Funny boy!

Our church started "The Story" which is a book by Max Lucado that tells the bible as a chronological story. I am loving it!! Chris and I are learning so much! I remember so many bible stories from when I was a kid in Sunday school but they're all missing pieces and connections in my mind. Now I get to read each story in order and really see how Jesus' lineage traces back to the beginning with Adam and Eve. So cool! The children's classes at church are also doing the kids' version of the story so Braden and I have been reading it each night. He loves it too! It's crazy how much they soak up at this age. :) Of course I hope and pray that my boys will grow up learning much about God, His love and how to be a good servant of Christ. We're trying. :)

Other randomness....they still love to dress up! Now Ethan is into it too. They always say "take my picture" and then pose. :)

And just tonight....Ethan loves to keep Braden company when he's on the pot. ha!!! He doesn't actually go but sits there with him. Oh you boys...wait until your future wives see these pictures!
