Potty Training. Check!

Welp, we read some articles, talked to some peeps, and knew you were smarter then the average bear. So we picked a string of days that we could camp out at home, bought treats and juice, prayed for patience, and mom left for work. 
No, but seriously, your dad is amazing. More then amazing.

The day began with a boy trip to Target for a super duper Cars toilet 
and some Planes underwear!
Let it be known that we have never seen Planes so we have been faking knowing the characters for a couple weeks now. Thank you Disney for printing the names on every pair.

Sure there were accidents. But I think only two the first day!
And you woke up dry! Every time.
We would make a huge deal and celebrate every time and you would say 
"I'm so proud of you, mom!" Adorable. Sweetest heart.

This view kills me. Such a big boy.

Oh and PS, after 3 days of underwear we road tripped to Arizona and Graham rocked it with no diapers. Especially with numero dos. No turning back.
Quote of the week: "I WANT. to PEE. on a CACTUS." 

No turning back.
Alright Bennett, you're next.

I asked Graham where he wanted to drive his car...he said Knott's Berry Farm. Bah.

Hello, Bennett Boy. 
Sorry Dad dropped you on your head at the happiest place on earth.
Good thing you're the toughest cookie.

Comparing characters. Dad didn't love that you wore your characters.
But I gave him a head nod after this interaction.

Surprise face! Graham rode his first roller coaster!! 
He pretty much hated it while it was going. He said "no, no, no...I want to get up."
I got in trouble for not "comforting" him enough. 
For the record, he was right next to me snuggled in.
And also for the record, Graham still talks about Gadget's coaster. 
And gives us a play by play of all 23 seconds.

Remember this.

Spring 14

Stop with all the cuteness.
Children's museum in San Luis. Incredible.

Graham and Paul Pastusak studying the course.

I've never known a 2 year old so obsessed with golf. 
So we met Kyle on the 7th hole.
Spring 14
I've never seen him so happy in my whole life. He was spilling with joy. I mean, have you EVER seen him smile for the camera like this?
Spring 14Spring 14Spring 14
aaaaaaand then he told me he'll just wait in the stroller until they get to the 15th hole.
I mean, obsessed. 
Spring 14
Happy St. Patrick's Day!! 
Spring 14
Madness arrived. Kyle had Graham actually make choices for his bracket.
He gave him grief for choosing Steven F. Austin.
But guess who made it to Sweet 16?? Boom.

Friday morning cousin time with "Stink" the trash truck.

He'd never want you to know, but the best guy ever is 29 today.... Happy birthday, KCU.
Happy 29th Birthday, Kyle Chandler.
Bennett: Eye on the prize.
Tootsie Pops and rows and rows of ovens and sofas. Must be visiting Pearsey's Rentals. And my memory bank.
A visit to Grandpa Sock's store means lollypops and endless home furnishings.

Grandma Carolyn's birthday wish: a family bike ride. 
And buckling these boys in as close as we can get them.

Opening day!
Let's go Dooooooodgers!
Untitled
Bennett can say "Da-ya" now!
And "Gaaaaaa" for "game" in the baseball song!
Untitled
But let's be real. His first love is still "ba-ka-bol".
Untitled
Everytime we go to Target Graham asks to go to the baseball stuff. 
So we go. Because who doesn't want to help their kid love Target runs?
Untitled
G finally likes his covers. And naps. 
And I love these little feet. And I wonder where they will take him.

Remember this: "Mom, would you like to share some blanket with me?"
Yes. Every time yes.
