Super Cute!

Malachi had to line up his cars to have them watch Cars with him!

Malachi and Jeremiah are Super Cool!

The Best Way to Potty Train!!!

I've been trying to Potty Train Malachi for a little bit because he has shown interest! I think after today, I have been replaced by Jeremiah! This is what happened:
I came upstairs to find Jeremiah standing next to the toilet using toilet paper to clean his bottom. Malachi was standing next to him with his pants and diaper off.
Malachi says, "Potty Mommy!"
I say, "Ok, sit down on your little potty!"
"No! Big toilet Mommy!" Malachi tells me.
Jeremiah says, "Mom, he wants to be big like me and go poop on the big toilet!"
"Ok!" Mom gives in.
I hold Malachi onto the big toilet and tell him to point it down! He says, "I will!"
After he is done with his business, Jeremiah proceeds to wipe Malachi's bottom explaining the whole time what he is doing and then helps Malachi flush the toilet! He then puts Malachi's diaper and pants back on and teaches him how to wash his hands!
This was super cute and super easy! All I had to do, was hold Malachi up on the toilet and hold him up to reach the water to wash his hands! I can potty train like this any day!

Malachi is 2!

I can't believe that it has been two years since this handsome little man was born! He loves to jump, climb, run, and do anything his big brothers do! He loves wrestling with them and playing Ninja Turtles with them! He loves to read books and loves to be outside! He loves playing trains and walking around our house blowing the train whistle all day long! That is why I decided to make a Winter Polar Express Train Cake!

Because Malachi loves to jump and needs a good healthy way to release all of his energy, we got him a little trampoline!

He also got a Matchbox Fire Station and Fire Truck!

New Game

For Christmas we were given two games that were the exact same! We finally got into town to exchange one of them and ended up getting the game Sorry Sliders! The kids absolutely love this!

Christmas Gifts

Granny, Granddad, Daddy, and Mommy got the boys this set of Radiator Springs! The cool thing is, the kids can bring their trains over and run them on the track as well!

Uncle Rick, Aunt Suzy, cousins Debbie, Anna, Lily Beth, and Will gave us a Family Home Evening Board and these great individualized Family Home Evening rugs!  The rugs have worked well for daily scripture reading as well! We don't have as many fights and complaints!  Thank you so much!

It took Malachi about two presents to figure out how to unwrap and get to the fun stuff fast!

The kids love the new games Operation, Ice Breaker, and Clue! They also love the Lego sets!

Ninja Turtles! They now have all four! 

Gideon's first remote control car that is also a Transformer!

It wouldn't be Christmas without some kind of new clothes! Gideon in his new School Sweatshirt, Jeremiah sporting a cool car, and well...Malachi lives up to what it says on his shirt!

A special football that you play with in the dark!

More playdough and a Ninja Turtle puzzle!

Now he gets to learn a new sport!

I only wish Daddy would teach him outside!

Malachi wasn't so sure about spinning himself, so he thought it would be fun to spin his tractors and then tip them off! He later figured out that it was fun to spin on it himself, but now he thinks it is more fun to stand on it to spin! (Emergency Room Visit coming up, I think!)

Now we have an entire set of tools for our little Construction Workers!

New pajamas! Gideon didn't get any this year, but he wanted to be in the picture too!

We were very blessed this year and want to thank all of our family and friends for making this a very special year and very wonderful Christmas!
