Our attempt at a family picture on the timer :)
Once again I am way behind on the blog and have way too many pictures to post...but I guess that is better than having all the time and nothing to post. I remember when I was pregnant with Payton, and even when I had one and I could post long posts about all the new things that were going on and I tried to post once a week, but those days are gone for a few years because we have a better kind of busy.

Organizing all of daddy's controllers
The boys have changed a lot in the past month. Payton I am happy to say is completely potty trained! We have only had one accident in a week and now I don't have to ask him all the time, he will just go on his own. This has been wonderful and we are using a lot less diapers :) He also has been talking like crazy. Now he can say pretty much anything and his sentences get longer and longer. He is particualarly excited about Kendra and Gavin moving to Whitefish. The other day I told him that Kendra got a teaching job here like Grandma and so they were moving here and would live in Grandma and Papa's house for a while and he so "No, Kendra live at our house" I asked where they would sleep and he said "Kendra sleep in Payton's bed." When I asked where he would sleep he said "with Kendra in my bed!" He loves his Auntie! He isn't a big fan of getting his picture taken.

This week we are finally putting the sod in the yard. We have been waiting and waiting for grass in our yard, but the process (along with the weather) proved to be more difficult then we accounted for (imagine that!) Then all we have left is putting up the play set and having the house painted! I can't wait for it to be finished.

I have been so proud of how he is growing up. He is so obedient and it is so easy to take him and Kellen shopping and out because he is such a good helper. The other day we were at the store and there were these little kids going crazy, taking things off the shelves and running all over and he said "Mom, I obeying. I just look!" It made my heart smile and I told him how happy that made me.
Kellen is starting to pull himself up on everything and is all over the place. He is the smiliest little guy you have ever seen. He has started "walking" when you hold his hands and tries to step when he is holding onto something. He is also learnin to clap. We are having so much fun going through it all a second time and remembering Payton doing it and seeing the similarities and differences. He is such a joy! He says mama and dada (sometimes at the right times!) and tries to say kitty. No one can make him happy and laugh like Payton can. 
WHAT?
