It has been a busy, fun, productive, sometime stressful, happy 2011 year! We added a new family member, decided to stay in our little house in Eagle Mountain, got lots of new jobs, and celebrated life! I can't wait to see what 2012 brings us!

Brothers...Continued

For Christmas, I got the boys matching shirts. I know it isn't the "cool" thing to do anymore, buy your kids matching clothes, but sometimes, they are in the right sizes I need, they are good priced and they are just to cute (or cool, in boy terms) to pass up! So I got the boys matching "Big Brother, Little Brother" shirts! Dang, they are so cute...the boys, not the shirts!

Christmas Ornaments

We have decided to buy our kids Christmas Ornaments ever year. Just something that kind of sums up that year for them. Here is Gavin's first 2 and then this years & Greyson's for this year!

This is Greyson's "Baby's 1st Christmas 2011" Ornament.

This is Gavin's "Baby's 1st Christmas 2009" Ornament. It is binkie because we had so many problems with him a Binkies!

This is an Ornament for Gavin from last year 2010 because he was going to be a Big Brother!

This was another Gavin's last year 2010 ornament because he was so into lights. This snowman ornament lights up and changes colors.

This Mater Ornament is Gavin's for this year 2011. It is because he loves Cars and Mater!

Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year. Gavin was the same as last year, he only wanted to play with the present he had just unwrapped, and we gave him a gift to unwrap first that he wanted, so all he wanted to do was play with that toy. Greyson wasn't in to it at all, he just like to put everything you handed him into his mouth. Our favorite gifts this year were:

Mike - His new HP Laptop
Alicia - My Cricut/Gypsy Bundle
Gavin - His Bigfoot Monster & Laptop
Greyson - The light up bouncy ball

Christmas Eve Jammies

Here we are in our 2011 Christmas Eve Pajamas!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we went up to Mike's Mother's boyfriend's house. We ate a good Italian dinner and Santa even made an appearance! Gavin was THRILLED! He ran right up behind him and gave his legs a big hug. Santa handed out Christmas presents to the kids. Gavin & Greyson got their Christmas Eve pajamas! It was a lot of fun!

8 Months

Um...Super crazy I already have an 8 month old! Where has this year gone? It seems like I just found out we were having another boy & here we are, and he is already 8 months old and into anything and everything he can get into! Here is a little Greyson update.

*He now has 4 teeth. His 2 bottom teeth and 2 on the top. The only thing is, I don't know which teeth they are on top. They aren't his front teeth, that is for sure. I can't tell if they are the 2nd front teeth or the I teeth. I have weird kids!

*The new teeth explain why we haven't been getting much sleep at night. Poor kid!

*He is pretty much sleep trained now. You can swaddle him and put him in the bed and he will fall asleep. Sometimes he still cries a bit if he is super tired, but mostly he just falls asleep!

*He loves baths, still hates his tummy and wants to play with anything you have in your hands or if Gavin is nearby playing with it.

*He is still in 6-9 month clothes and size 2 diapers.

*He talks so much now and says baba and dada. He also growls at you. It is cute!

*He is a really good eater. He still eats 5 times a day from me or the bottle. He eats Fruits in the morning and veggies in the afternoon. Then for dinner I try to give him something that we are eating, last night it was tortillas. He likes pasta, rice, tortillas, potatoes, jello, rolls and bread. He is an eater.

Even though he keeps me up at night, I love this little guy so much! It is just extra time we get to spend together up at night!

Santa 2011

We went to see Santa tonight. There is a guy in our ward who dresses up as Santa every year, so we went the cheap and close route this year and went to see him. Gavin was so excited and ran right up to him to sit on this lap. Greyson, on the other hand, wasn't so into it. He was tired, we had a long night of shopping and running around. He is not a carseat fan. Anywho, Gavin kept saying "Merry Christmas Santa," and "Goodbye Santa." He was in love! Santa also gives the kids who come see him a stuffed animal. Gavin chose a doggie, and I don't know what Greyson ended up with. Gavin asked if he could take his Doggie stuffed animal that he got from Santa to bed with him. He is sleeping with it! So cute! Here are the Santa pictures for 2011, not professionally done, but we didn't have to spend any money!
