Yesterday Grandma took the grandkids (plus her kids) to Chuck E. Cheese. It was the boys’ first time and they had a ton of fun! We were very lucky and had the run of the place. We played several games and no one was injured by the skee balls Abby was chucking. Noah loved putting the tokens in the machines, pretty much a game for him. Ezra road a couple of the rides and only got scared once.
Here’s a little video of the boys spinning. They had been spinning for a while and were getting a little dizzy. This is what they do when they are tired.

Our little city had Stagecoach Days’ this weekend. We took the boys and enjoyed a nice morning in the park.
We tried our first bounce houses, Noah was more into than Ezra, but they both just crawled around.
We also went over to the fire safety trailer and learned to be fire smart.
First you play with the fireplace. Funny thing they decided to not turn it on because it was just a few toddlers in the trailer and our boys were still drawn to it, good thing we con’t have one.
Then you run from the exit.
And then if your Ezra you break out your dance moves.
We also tried out a photo booth for the first time with the boys, shockingly two toddlers weren’t very cooperative. They just wanted to push the button!
We also petted some of the local 4h club animals and played in the Montessori pre-school booth for a while (which the boys loved). Sorry no pics as we were also too busy playing. Matt also was able to do a little networking, life in a small city does have its benefits.
Hi Hi!
Ez 🙂
Look closely, what is that in his hand? Yes a domino, he is obsessed with them.
Got my hair chopped off. 😀
Happy Birthday Jason! I personally think the 30s are great and hope you enjoy them just as much!
Just so you know you are my favorite little brother. 😉
Our entire weekend next week suddenly opened up, so we are considering one of the three day potty training methods. The one that I read reported that 22 months is the best age to potty train, and the boys will be 23 months next week. I am wanting input from parents, but not on methodology or the correct age. (okay you can offer it if you want I won’t turn down free advise.)
But what I really want is a pro and con list of a potty trained child. I think a lot of people spend a lot of time thinking about how to potty train, but I want to think of the after the potty training consequences and benefits.
If potty training next weekend doesn’t work out, we will think about it again sometime after the craziness of the holidays.
Please share your input. 🙂

The boys don’t really play quiet all that often, but they have been engaging in more quiet play activities. I just might be loving it. It doesn’t last for a super long time, but does add a nice break or two in our day. Their current favorites are Mr. Potato Head and Puzzles.
More fun times from our Phoenix Children’s Museum. The boys really have a great time.
What, the light and sand table isnt for tasting?
Lost in the noodle forrest.
