I love how it turned out with my cute little guy looking like he is old enough to drive? haha! I went through Esty for this invite and we had a Hot Wheels birthday party for him.

New Beds
A couple weeks ago Greyson was having the hardest time going to bed in the crib. He would scream and cry for a half hour at least before anything. We would have to go lay with him in the toddler bed for him to go to sleep then move him to the crib before Gavin could go to bed. Oh man...it was getting old fast. We didn't want to move the boys into bigger beds until we were ready to move rooms, but we decided it was time to move Gavin to a Twin bed and Greyson to the toddler bed. So here is the boys in their new beds! They loved them in the day, but those first couple nights said other wise. But we are past it now and everyone is happy with their new freedom in big boy beds!
Happy Birthday Greyson
Happy 2nd Birthday to my happy, smart, big time momma's boy, already in his terrible twos, always keeps us running and on our toes Greyson Bear! We love you so much and are so happy you are a part of our family and that we get to see what you will do and learn next! Love you!

Gavin Funnies
Gavin is funny. On Friday I asked him to do something to help me and he told me "I'm busy."
Yesterday morning I was still at home waiting for Greyson to wake up so I could take them to the sitters then go to work. Gavin said to me "Mom, look at me! What are you doing today?" I said "Going to work, what are you doing today?" He said "Going to Leann's (sitter)" So I asked him "Is there anything else you are doing today?" He said "No" and I said "Are you going to preschool?" He said "Oh yeah, I will go to preschool too today!" He is funny!
On Sunday he learned about Jonah and the Whale in Sunbeams. He brought home a picture that you can move Jonah into and out of the whales mouth. He told me today "This is Jonah. He was stuck in a boat then he swam out of the boats mouth." Holy hilarity!
Man that kid is funny! And Greyson too, if you ask him what is wrong with his brother he will tell you every time "He's pissed!" Funny kids!

Bath Time
These boys love bath time, and they even love it more when it is together! They play and splash and have a great time! I love these boys, they are so cute!

Faith - Fully
Haven't written a Faith update in a hot minute. My lesson on Easter Sunday was AMAZING. I don't think have I taught a lesson that I felt that good about since being in Young Womens. In the meantime, nothing really huge has come up.
I am so thankful for my sister who took a week from her busy life to come live with us and take care of the boys last week. That was totally a heaven-sent!
I am thankful that I don't have to teach this month! It has been a crazy week already with school and there are only 4 more weeks left. It is getting down to crunch time and I am praying that I make it through in one peace.
I have to go take a test on Friday to see where I can place and what Math I have to take. I am praying I remember some Mad Math Skills to help me so I can at least get into 1030, take it this summer and graduate with my associates. If not, I will take a Math class the summer and then hopefully take a Math class this Fall that will get me my associates! Either way, we are getting this done, this year! After the test on Friday, I am going to meet my Advisor. I just need to see about Math (After I take the test) then see about pre reqs for Dental Hygienist, if that is the route I still want to take. I am praying for a direction to go into.
I have also been praying about this new venture that Mike wants to do with a friend. We will see how that goes. We are switching babysitters for the kids too in the next couple weeks. That has me freaking out a little bit. I just hope everything goes smoothly and works out best for everyone. And lastly, got good news today about our Mortgage! News we have been waiting for for years - ish now! I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for that today.

Gavin's Plant
Gavin planted this plant in preschool on Friday the 29th during their Easter party. By Friday April 5th it had sprouted pretty big. It he so proud of his plant and now calls it his tree. I should take a picture of it now. This is the "Bean Plant" on the 5th.

Family Update
I feel like I have been MIA for the last week or so, because I have been. No YW, my sister was here, I didn't do any homework, it was a pretty chill week. Now it is all starting to catch up with me! Here is a Family Update! We got our bikes fixed a while ago, so we have been taking lots of famly bike rides with the boys in the trailer! They love it.
Greyson - Will be 2 in less than 3 weeks! Talks so much I really forget that he is only 2. Sleeps great still (most of the time). Loves his brother, and loved having Aunt Cathy here. He is just toddling around, doing what 2 year old boys do. We are looking forward to only buying 2% Milk in the next couple weeks!
Gavin - Is no longer in Dance class. He would have a freak out the last couple weeks we tried to take him, so we just took him out. He is still loving Preschool, and Sunbeams. He loved having Aunt Cathy here too. He begs me everyday to let him go outside, or go for a bike ride, or go to the slides. He is now 7 days dry! He hasn't had an accident (Day or night) in 7 days! For the first day and night he got a Hot Wheels car, and for the 7 days he gets a set of Hot Wheels cars. He will be excited tonight when I get home to get that! Now to go a Month! So proud of him!
Alicia - 3 more Zumba classes! 4 more weeks of school until the semester is over. I need to go take my Math placement class so I can get my Math class out of the way and hopefully graduate with my Associates! I am trying to figure out where to go after that though. Dental Hygienist school? Accounting classes? Get my Bachelors then try for Pharmacy school? Just bag it all and be done with my Associates? I don't know. I am planning Greyson's birthday party, and YW is going good as of right now! Still working, and learing about Oils.
Mike - Working, he is starting a new venture with a friend, so we will see how that goes. Next weekend is Drill weekend and he is the new Mustering Petty Officer, so now he looks forward to going to Drill!
And so you are currently updated! Busy weeks ahead for us!

Easter
Our Easter this year was awesome! On Saturday I went to class, we went up to Hill Air Force Base in Layton because my laptop took a dump and I need one for my calling and school. Then we just hung out with Aunt Cathy who came up to visit and barbecued!
Sunday was Easter! We had the boys find their Easter baskets. They loved everything that was in them! We watched movies, ate breakfast and just had a low key morning hanging out. I made the cake we were going to have for dessert and was getting my lesson ready for class.
Church was awesome. I love the special spirit if Easter. He has Risen and lives today! What a special message. My lesson I think went great, I touched on the subjects of the day then we did the last days eggs, which I think the girls enjoyed. It was a nice refreshing class.
After church Mike's mom came down to spend Easter with us. We had a nice Easter egg hunt with the boys in the yard and then ate Ham, Potatoes, Veggies and Punch with the Chocolate Lasagna Cake I made. It was yummy! We dyed Easter eggs and then made colored volcanos with the left over color. Then Mike started experimenting with water battles and fire. It was a nice, fun day and I am thankful for the Savior who suffered for me all the pains, trials, burdens I feel today then died on the cross and was resurrected 3 days later! He lives today and I know he loves me.

Gavin's 4th Birthday
I am been totally slacking on this post!
Happy 4th Birthday Gavin!
This year was a really low key year. On Thursday night we went to Walmart for party stuff and to get preschool stuff. On Friday Gavin had his 4 year Well Child Check. Here are his Stats:
Height: 100.97 cm at 38%tile
Weight: 32 lbs at 10%tile
BMI: 13.8 at 3%tile
Saturday was the Big Day! 4 Years old! Friday night I decorated his room with balloons which is loved waking up to again, we hung out in the morning and then I had to go to class. After class I stopped at Walmart for some last minute party details, went home and we started preping for the BIG Birthday party. We had a fun time a the Phineas and Ferb Birthday Party and I made awesome Perry the Platypus cupcakes. We had sandwich plater from Costco, veggie tray, fruit salad and punch. It was yummy.
Sunday was Daylight Saving day, so we just hung out at home (while I went and taught a horrible lesson at church) and ate leftovers! It was a great weekend and we are so lucky to have little 4 year old Gavin! We went bowling a week later and will celebrate when Aunt Cathy comes!

After the Well Child Check (Which went great by the way, he is normal for everything) he went to Preschool with his Birthday Poster and Cupcakes. After Preschool, we went to Costco to get more party stuff and headed home to hang out the rest of the day, clean the house and decorate and get ready for the party!
