the haps.

So we've had a tad bit of fun since we got back from Christmas. The pictures really tell it all. But I will update you a little bit. Bentley is almost potty trained, we only had one accident in the past few days and I know you are dying to hear all about it. I'll spare you the painand leave out the details. Gaige and Bentley love to chase their daddy around and shoot him with guns, chase each other around, and be naughty together!

Super Shea and Super Bentley to the rescue!


These are my homegirls...literally. We see eachother every day more than once. We hang out together, help each other, cook dinner for each other, watch each others' kids, keep each other sane and have lots of laughs, cries, and fun together. And sometimes our husbands tag along! Lauren is missing from the picture...but she was definitely there. I heart my home girls!

Gaige and Bentley are aspiring bullriders. They found this blow up thing and jumped on it together for quite awhile. I give them a 10 in this picture.Over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend our fabulous friends invited us to go to Big Bear to chill with them and our friends the Whites. We had tons of fun hanging out, watching movies, and playing games. Thanks Paige and Jared! Bentley loved pulling Gaige around in the sled a little bit too much. Gaige loved eating the snow, no matter how old or dirty it was...yuck! When we were in Utah he would scrape the black slush off of the tires of the car and lick it. He is so gross, but sooo cute!
Last weekend I went home because Matt had to go to school on Saturday. We had lots of fun at Grams and Grandad's house. We went over to Trace and Leslie's and the boys had a blast with their cousins. And I am reminded that I have an awesome family. Gaige and I went to lunch with Michelle, and we hung out with Grams and Grandad. We also got to see Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Carrie, Lori, and Celeste, Uncle Rob, Kaylee, Madison, and Connor. What a fun weekend away!

Gaige climbed to the top of the latter to help Grandad change the battery in the smoke detector.


My boys are so cute in their pajamas that I can't even stand it! We had so much fun at Grams and Grandad's that we stayed up way past bedtime every night.


A MIRACLE...Bentley, Gaige, and I went to Disneyland with Jenna, Shea, Clare, Lauren, Alex and Austin on Friday. After a very rough, frustrating and crazy week I decided we needed some fun. So we went to Disneyland and the boys were so good I couldn't even believe it. Just so you can understand the craziness here is a list of things gone wrong this week...
1. Bentley pooped his pants 3 times - one time resulted with poop all over the floor - I know TMI!
2. Gaige decided to play in the toilet after Bentley peed.
3. Gaige used my phone to splash in Bentley's pee.
4. Said phone no longer works and I had to buy a new one.
5. Bentley went to time out at least 10 times in one day.
6. "Never!", "No, I said no," "You stop" and countless other frustrating things coming out of Bentley's mouth.
7. I've gained at least 2 pounds this week.
8. The boys unrolled the entire roll of toilet paper and stuffed it in the toilet.
I am giggling now, but when you're a mom these things can be the end of a very short rope! Some days are really really good, and some days are really really bad. And most days, I deserve to go to time out too! But I am learning and I have amazing friends and family that help me when I need it. I sure love my boys, they aren't doing anything wrong. I am realizing that it's me that needs to make some changes, don't we all?
