WARNING: toddler Poop talk!
So we are on the potty training train with my 22 month old boys, we really only have been working on it the past week because of company and a busy schedule, Zack has been doing very well and now each time he sits on the potty he wees, sands up and exclaims " I go pee pee Yeay!! " and claps. I bought big stickers that turn into a smiley star or pig when peed on so they can see that they peed. Logan however believes weeing should be done standing up. so I find him standing next to his potty with his pants down swaying back and forth.... not peeing, but the other day (Friday) he finally pooped and peed on the potty!!! he was so very excited and we were all so happy for him I made brownies!! however he has not gone again on the potty, but he is talking much more about it. I know many are fascinated I am potty training so early , but I am so done with diapers for a long while! I will keep you updated on how it all goes.

My three Strappin Boys


Here are a few pictures of my ever so handsome boys Abram, Zachary and Logan, They are sure growing up! Zack and Logan are talking up a storm they are now 22 months old, when we head to the ward family reunion they will be 2! many people ask if my twins are identical and some ask if I have triplets, when you put Abe into the equation of looking alike you can easily realize that Zack and Logan are not Identical ad that the look as much like one another as they look like Abe, they just happen to be the same age at the same time :)

One Bussy Mama
Well each day there is a new mess and usually a bath that follows. I am a pretty laid back mama and probably most people think I am too laid back. I enjoy teaching my boys new things and having lots of fun with them, we like to cook things together, so I think they feel they have a right to the ingredients when I am not around..... this does not usually go over very well.
CHILD PROOFING.... OR SO THEY SAY!
Many of you are blessed with children who stay out of things :) I guess I was just blessed with boys who "just want to figure it out"
First we have door knobs... Abram who recently turned 3 learned to open doors when he was just over 1yo, basically if he could reach it he could open it. so naturally we put child proof locks on... it only took about 25 minutes to figure how to remove it! now what, well when he was 20 months we decided to take the door knobs off, because it is hard enough for an adult to open a door like that right? well about 3 weeks ago Abe figured it out, the only thing we can do is to lock the door from the other side which he has even opened a few times when he can find something small enough to get into the hole :) He is a very smart little boy
fridge locks, now they really need to improve on these.... well I will give them a little credit, It took my 18mo Abe an entire 3 days to figure it out and when he did he clapped his hands and said with a fat grin on his face "yea!! did it!!" it was a puzzle to him. since then I believe I have cleaned dozens of eggs off of the floor, including a few months ago when my 3 strappin boys dumped a dozen eggs out and drove their big trucks through them, I think I was scrubbing the egg spots off the carpet for a few hours before Spencer got home.
My boos truly need a huge mud puddle in which they could roll in in the morning just so they feel their day is full.
Sometimes it is really difficult and sometimes our house is clean for weeks at a time, but most of the time I vacuum 1-2x per day. I remember watching John and kate+8 a mother of twins and sixtupplets. she had to mop her floor 3-4x a day, I am glad I only have to do it twice :) luckly there is another mama in my ward who has a 4yo and 2yo twins, all boys, yesterday at enrichment people were saying we were supermoms, it is nice to have one person who understands no we are not supermoms just moms gone crazy, every mom is amazing and I don't know how anyone does it with a sane mind, but all of the fun, and joy in my boys eyes makes it all worth while.
Sorry for my babbling I get a little scatter brained sometimes.

wow i really never blogg! anyways a noter little update, spencer quit his job at the end of last week so he will b done with it at the end of the month, we are looking today for a place in provo to rent, I think we will be downsizing... you know how many times we have moved since we have been married, just over 3 years...this will be our 7th move!!! we move more than every 6 months!!! this has got to slow down, but i have a feeling it wont really since next fall we plan to move to maine for the winter for furniture school, and then stay until we decide where to move from there, I still feel like i act like i should have all of the energy i had when spencer and i were courting, but i dont even have half of it :) and i feel there is more and more i need to do every day, because there is. I really miss maine, I think it might just be the blessing we had of having our children play outside, which right now Is my bigest dream, they dont get out enough because it is just too hard for me to lug all three of them to the playground, hopefully our move to provo will produce more people with young children

Just a Little update!
well we have a link on our dashboard to blogg so hopefully it will happen a little more, although we cannott post picts from dashboard we can still go online and update the photos.
Zachary and Logan are really starting to stand on their own the last few days and they are moving across the house soooo fast! i can barely keep up with all of the boys, but they sure do have fun together when they are no beating on eachother. I cannot believe that it has been almost a year since Zack and Logan were born. Abram is more mischivious than eer, he thinks he is the king of the world. and he has been in underwear for over a month!
