Jumping with Jana
My sister came for the weekend and we had a great time! But mostly she had fun playing and doing crafts with the boys! Thanks to Jana, Cory and I also got out for a quick movie on Valentine's Day! We love Aunt Jana!

Praising God in the Car
Caden has been learning a new song in choir at church and we had Cory download it to the iPod. We have been singing and listening to it quite a bit lately and the boys love it! I wish they would sing in church like they do here at home...it is precious!
While we were out driving yesterday, I looked in my rear view mirror and saw them jamming and praising God while singing this song, it was too cute not to snap a picture. Then I realized I also got Cole's reflection in there too! How funny! He isn't really sure what to think of those two being so crazy in the back seat!
I love that my kids get excited about praise music and singing to God...it definitely warms this Momma's heart!

Loving on Cole
I came in one morning over the weekend (it must have been on Saturday judging from the jammies in the picture) and found Carter loving on his baby brother while watching cartoons. Cory had put Cole in the chair with Carter and he was in heaven! Carter never really gets to hold Cole if Caden is around so this was great for him. Cole sat there for about 20 minutes! We would try and take him out but Carter would tell us, "No, I ho Co! My bub" Too cute!
I am not sure why he is making a pouty face in the picture, because he was really happy!

Carter's Latest Injury
Well yesterday it happened again! Carter had a blow to the face, but this time, not the center of his forehead...that is good news!
It all started when he and Caden bumped heads on the trampoline. He got a little bruise under his right eye. Then later in the afternoon, they were inside playing in this very, very large copier box Cory brought home. I am pretty convinced they were jumping off their beds into this box, but Caden won't admit to it. Anyway, Caden says he "accidentally" pushed Carter and he fell. No one can tell me what he fell on, so I am not sure. Carter is a boy of few words, so I am really unclear what happened. He is fine now, but these pictures were a little sad and I know Gigi wants to see how bad it really is!
A sucker makes anything feel better!
Here is a close up
Daddy doctored it up and gave him a band-aid.
He seemed fine later that evening! He slept all night and doesn't seem too bothered by it today. So I guess we are okay for now. I was going to take his 2 year pictures this week, but I guess I will wait!

This is right after it happened, while I was doctoring it up.

Another Family to Pray For
http://prayformatt.blogspot.com/
I found this family from another blog I read yesterday. This baby was born to a 15 year old mother and is now in the hands of guardian parents. I am not sure of the entire story about the custody and such, but Baby Matt has something wrong with his brain and isn't expected to live long. Please join me in praying for God to work yet another miracle! Also drop over and check out the cute little guy and leave them a comment! Thanks gang!

Potty Patrol
So yesterday I decided to start potty training Carter. Well let's just say it was a waste of time yesterday and I am seriously dreading today! Those of you who don't follow me on Facebook didn't get all the nitty gritty details of the day so here they are:
By 8:15am, after taking Caden to school, we were already in underwear pair #3. We had wet and pooped in the two previous pairs. YUCK! But I kept up with it and would only allow Carter to play in the playroom or kitchen. He did get to sit and watch one cartoon that morning, but he had to sit on the couch on a towel, just in case! I took him to the bathroom every 15-20 minutes and nothing. Not once drop of ti-ti (however you spell that bodily function) in the potty!
So around 10:30am I think he needs some juice. He hasn't gone in two hours. So I give Carter a glass of juice and start the clock watching again. I take him and nothing, then literally no less than 5 minutes later his pants are soaked! I take him a couple of times before picking Caden up at 11am and again nothing. I take Carter as soon as we get home, nothing and again 15 minutes later, nothing. Each time I take him it is a fight and he sits on the potty for like 30 seconds then tells me he is done. It is almost a power struggle to get him to sit up there at times.
Anyway, I am thinking surely he has to go more so I keep working, then of course 2minutes before Cory gets home for lunch, I put Carter on the toilet again and nothing, but shortly after that wet pants! AGGHHHH!!! I put him in a pull up for lunch and nap and try to relax for a couple of hours.
So after nap, I put him on the toilet and do the routine for a bit, then send them outside to play. I go get him in 15 minutes to take him potty and he is soaked again. He doesn't seem to care either. Caden is repulsed but Carter is just jumping on the trampoline with urine soaked pants. So I bring him in and clean him up and put on I think pair #6. I take him a few more times and nothing still!
I have to leave at 5:30pm for church and I remind Cory that the boy is wearing underwear and about the lack of success we are having today. When I got home last night from church, I find out that Carter did not go in the toilet at all but didn't wet his pants either. So Cory got lucky of course and didn't have to deal with that! But when I got home around 8pm Carter's diaper was soaked.
So onto today...he ran from me screaming "No big boy, baby, need di (diapers)." I am thinking today might not go so well either. I am pretty sure he is not ready yet, but I will give it a whirl this morning and if it goes like yesterday, I am so done for a while!
