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!

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!

4th of July 2011

Happy 4th of July from Gavin & Greyson!

Father's Day

Yesterday was Father's day! First & foremost - Happy Father's Day to all you dad's out there especially the ones in my life! We love you & are so thankful for you in our lives & the things you have done for us!

Yesterday Gavin & I got up at 8:15 to make Breakfast for Mike. We made these amazing Ham & Cheese Croissants! YUM! Greyson & Mike woke up at 9 and then we ate Breakfast to got ready for Church. After church the boys all took a nap & Mike's mom came down to spend the day with us. After naps were over we started getting ready for dinner. We grilled Kabobs. Yummy again! We did everything you could think of, Steak, Chicken, Shrimp, Veggies, Pineapple. It was delish! We watched a movie & then got ready for bed!

We got Mike a new Tool Box for work and a golf package to Eagle Mountain Golf Course.

It was a great day & we are thankful for Mike & all he does for our family!

Family Pictures

On the 21st of May we had the wonderfully talented Ashley come over to take our Family pictures, some pictures of Gavin & some pictures of Greyson! We are so lucky to know Ashley & we are glad that she is so willing to work with us & get us some great memories to share & save for generations! Enjoy these new pictures of our ever growing family!

New Years Resolutions

I usually make a couple New Years Resolutions every year, but being pregnant & I can't lose weight, I kind of slacked this year. For the last 5 days I have been thinking about what can I approve on? Here is what I have come up with so far.

*Don't get over 150lbs this pregnancy. It will be harder then with Gavin because I started about 10lbs heavier this time then with him, but I can do it. I only hit 150 with Gavin!

*Don't buy things that we don't need. This is one that Mike & I decided would be a family Resolution this year.

*Save some money.

*Strive to attend all Church meetings. This one has been hard already with 11 o'clock church. Gavin threw the biggest fit on Sunday & we ended up leaving church at 11:58. By 12:10 he was asleep! Somehow I will make it work though.

That's what I have got so far. After the baby is born, I am sure I will have a whole new set of resolutions!
