I think we have officially started the potty training fun! Jalen has been showing cues for several months now and would go in his potty a few times a day. He recently started to go more on the potty than what it was months ago. Landon had his first pee on his potty last night. He went up to the bathroom door and told us "pee pee." He was so excited! When he got done, he ran to Jalen and shouted "POTTY!" I think Jalen saw this as a cue, so he went to sit on his potty and went pee. I thought I would have to do this one at a time, but they have always enjoyed doing stuff together. Landon woke up dry this morning and peed again on his chair.
I am so nervous and excited at the same time. I know this will be a long process. Wish us luck!

Our Saturday morning
Here is what are Saturday morning was like today...
LOTS of running around. I tried to get some pictures of these two booger heads together sitting, but they just got right up and ran away. I caught them together here! LOL Landon was not a fan.
Jalen does a little exercising with the shake weight. He even does the sound effects that it makes when daddy uses it. 
Play with the dogs. They love using the dogs as pillows and piggy back rides. They also love to play fetch with them too.
Jalen building his train track. He built this all by himself.
Then Landon came and took it apart. Notice Jackson likes to hang out with them too. I think he made it in all the pics.

20 months
I am a day late posting this, but having to work and two toddlers on my hand is a good excuse! :-) I can not believe my baby boys are 20 months old! They are just 4 months away from turning 2! How is that even possible? The holidays flew right past us and everything just seems like a blur. The only thing that I can look back on that seems like it was yesterday was their birth. These boys are the greatest gift to me! They make me smile everyday.
They are growing up too fast and WOW they are learning so much so quickly! I am loving how different Jalen and Landon's personalities are towards one another. I love watching them play and interact. They love to play hide and go seek, tag, keep away, ring around the rosie, itsy bitsy spider, patty cake, and so much more! I can not even imagine are life with just one toddler.
When it comes to weight, I only know how much Jalen weighs because he likes to step on the scale. He enjoys watching the numbers come on the screen. Yesterday he weighed in at 25.9 lbs. Landon is probably 23 lbs. Their vocab has doubled I think from last month. They learn words so quickly and repeating what we say. I made a list of words and they say about 75 words already. Landon talks in sentences, but I have no idea what he is saying 90% of the time. I usually can pick up here and there. They are still in 18-24 months clothes and size 6 shoes.
Landon has became a pro to tantrums. We have had none in public yet, but I know that day will come. I actually think the tantrums are funny because of the reason why he is throwing a fit. For instance, feeding the fish. I already fed them and he got SO UPSET because he wanted to feed them. Every morning when he wakes up, he goes to the fish tank and says "fish eat." I just ignore the throwing self on ground and arching back tantrums. Jalen always sits there and stare all confused to why his brother is doing this.
Taking pictures of them together is really difficult. You can see the evidence below. :-)
Fighting over the cup. Jalen took the green one from Landon because the blue cup was gone.
Tried again for a photo together.
He only smiles when the camera is away

Merry Christmas
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! We had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. I was sick with the stomach bug for 4 days and felt miserable. That did not stop me from enjoying the season with my kids and family. The boys had a wonderful Christmas. All 3 kids enjoyed all their gifts and were so excited opening them up. This year was a lot different than last. Jalen and Landon ripped up that paper to see what Santa brought them. Our house is a mess with all 3 kids toys all over. Jordan is excited that he got the kinect. I think I will have fun playing that too. Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday with the new year approaching.
Jalen was getting excited for Santa.
Jalen loves his Buzz he got from Uncle Anthony
Jordan got the pogo stick he wanted from Grandma and papaw
Finally getting home, it was time to our presents at home. 
Jalen enjoying his new book.

Sometimes it takes two to open the big presents.
