Baths Bowling and Basketball Games

Payton loves bowling and talks about it ALL the time. At home we set up water bottles and bowl them over with a basketball. Sometimes he uses the ramp and sometimes he sets it on the floor and pushes it.
After every single throw, he would gallop back to everyone and give everyone five and say "Kyler's turn" over and over.

Payton knows he is only allowed to pour the water on Kellen's feet and body, so when he picks up the cup he always says "just Kellen's feet?" Like my answer might change.

We went to the girl's highschool game the other night because Keaton and some of his friends did a drum line for half time. They were awesome. The girls' basketball team...not so much! When we left after the halftime show, they were losing 30something to 5

You can't see it in the picture but Payton is wearing his future Whitefish Bulldogs shirt.

Payton love jumping on his bed and it probably isn't the best idea but we let him do it. He has to have some kind of energy outlet until its summer :)

Kellen has grown a lot lately. He is 4 months old and at his appointment he was 16 pound and 26 inches long. He can roll over from his tummy to his back and is so close at rolling the other way. He can sit up on his own for about 30 seconds (still kind of wobbly) and can hold his upper body off the floor on his stomach. He giggles like crazy when you play with him (or try to wash him with a washcloth). He is such a easygoing and happy baby. We recently moved him out of our room and into his crib and it has gone pretty well. He sometimes wakes up at 4 or so to eat but always goes right back to sleep until about 8.

We have been working on Payton with potty training. It is earlier than I had planned but all his friends are doing it so he is interested. At home I let him run around with out any pants and he doesn't have accidents. When we are out and he has a diaper on though he doesn't attempt
( or even ask) to go in the potty. I am just letting him go at his own pace because he isn't even 2 yet. He is getting really smart and he talks a lot. The past week we have been focusing on being very consistan with discipline. We only ask him to do something once instead of repeating it over and over and it is really been effective. We are all much happy and he is listening and behaving better and challenging me less. I have been reading Dr Dobson's "Dare to Discipline" and it has been great.
