So here's a good ol' fashion update for ya!
I figured I needed to get one in pretty quick, we have a busy couple of weeks ahead of us!
WARNING: Poop, pee, underwear, and toilet talk and pictures.
First on the list is
POTTY TRAINED TRACEON IN 2 WEEKS!
Yes, our 2 year and 2 1/2 month old BOY is potty trained! YEE! He even goes by himself (like without being pulled into the bathroom and forced to sqeeze some out!)
I knew he was ready about a month ago, but our January was jam packed with activites, so I decided to start him after the busy stuff settled down.
He was so excited to get BIG BOY "unwear". Of course he got to pick them out, and they are an assortment of BOY Disney movies, which means he has some wicked cool BUZ LIGHTYEAR "unwear's!"
For you that know Trace, he's NEVER liked to go #2......but good news!
He's realized that you don't have to hold it in!
This was concerning to me when we started potty training him. I thought it was either going to go super well (like it did) or he was not going to have ANYTHING to do with going #2 in the toilet! Silly kiddo! So proud of our CASE! He's grown up so much these last few months! It's amazing to me how smart he is! I thought Aydan was a smartie-pants until I met the Little Brother!
(Although I'm pretty sure Little Brother gets lots of info, motivation, and lessons from the Big Brother, since he has to DO EVERYTHING Aydan does!)
This was Traceon's 2nd time going PEE on the potty!
( We teach our boys to sit to pee first before we start teaching them to stand.)
I have a few other "unwear" pics, but this is my favorite! It shows his cute little personality! Trace has a great imagination just like A-Bug, and claimed he was going to work while I was taking this picture.
Traceon nailed peeing while sitting, so on to standing up lessons! He's so cute! Look at his trucks! Man, I just love him!
So we were giving Trace potty treats, which were candy. Great motivation, but, let's face it, candy is just not the best! So we started giving him stickers instead....and they're just as satisfying!
Tra is still wet at night about 2 times a week, but we're okay with that! No more diapers!
Way 2 GO Traceon!

Grandma Chris came to stay with us for a couple of days, and this is the only picture I got! Aunt Melanie, Ryan, Great Grandma Rosemary, and Great Grandpa Vern came for a visit too! It's nice for us to get together!
Justin has started school again! He's really enjoying his Health Finance class, but is ready to be done with school! He's planning on graduating in December! So yay!
I'm so proud of Justin! He was feeling a little annoyed the other night about school, and I HAD to point out the obvious factors....
Justin will have been enrolled in school for 4 1/2 years (that's 9 semister's) when he graduate's. Yes he's taken 2 full years off (to join the Army and go to Basic Training, as well as serve a Tour in Baghdad, Iraq) while raising a family. That's just plain amazing! He has also made it so I could/can stay at home with our young children, which is important to both of us! I feel so blessed to be married to such a man!
School requires lots of energy, that sometimes just isn't there....so J-man needs some pick-me-ups! All pre-packaged, and ready to go to school!

Our boys are fun!
This is Aydan running around the house....as a Superhero! Funny pic...just before I took this pic, I told him he needed to take a nap. When Aydan cry's about taking a nap, it means he NEEDS one, and when he dosen't cry, he stays up. It's my daily test.
He was about to cry, until I needed a Superhero pic.
Here are the boys snuggled up in their cute puppy and frog sleeping bags, ready for a movie!
I went down one afternnoon to wake up Traceon from his nap so we could go get Aydan from pre-school, and I couldn't find him. Can you see him?
Trace the FIREMAN! We play a lot of dress up in this house!
All my cute boys! I'm one lucky gal!
Funny pic of Trace in time-out! This one has quite the TEMPER!
"But MOM, why can't I mess in the fridge, make a mess, then throw a fit when you tell me to stop!"
The Super Bowl was fun! Justin hates the Patriot's so much that he went out and bought us all NY Giant's shirts for good luck!
I guess it worked, because they WON!
I've been doing something fun for Justin every day of February counting up to Valentine's day, and have fun stuff planned for our boys!
Justin has promised a "complete" Valentine's date night! I say "complete" because it's not if you don't see a chick flick! And this year.....Star Wars in 3D seems to be getting in the way!

2 weeks!?! Way to go!
Sam looks like you need to plan a two week vacation to Tooele to potty train my little turkey, although I think I will wait until his bladder is a little bigger, I think he would be running to the toilet like every 10 minutes!haha
But seriously way to go...that's awsome he was ready to use the toilet, and be a big boy!
The Giants shirts are awesome, Derrick and Justin must be brothers Derrick has the same hate for the Patriots...Great game!!
That picture of Traceson in Time out is so cute...It makes me just want to pick him up and give him loves(for some reason he totally looks like Aydan in that picture, and I can't tell why)
Oh and tell Justin we love the Pick me ups that is awesome!haha
Way to go Traceon! That is great that he picked up on it so quick! I hope it helps to see Big Bro do it cause our little one's potty-training time is coming up! :)
Isn't it awesome that we have such hard-working Polson men as husbands that allow us to be home with our munchkins?! Yep, pretty blessed!
Cute family pic in your Giants shirts! :)
