Mr. Reader

All my posts are about Gavin lately. Well, Gavin won an iPod (or bike or Scooter, but he already has those) from School for all his reading he has done this year. He has been great about it and had grown so much this year in his reading. He can just sit down and read a Berenstain Bear book now without hardly any help and in about 20 minutes. He loves to buy new books and gets excited to read new books he gets. We are so proud of him.

Toothless

On Friday the 8th of April, Gavin lost his 2nd front tooth, so now all his wants for Summer is his two front teeth! He has lost 6 teeth so far.

Sleepy Boy

The last couple Saturdays, we have run Garett into the ground, so he hasn't napped. By the time we get home, bathe him, and cuddle on the couch for a minute, he konks! Cute boy.

Shaun the Sheep

Garett has been wearing this hat when ever he gets the chance, and walking around calling himself "Shaun the Sheep". Cute boy!

Garett Stats

I have been completely horrible when it comes to blogging about Garett's stats, so here I will just put it all in one place:

6 Months - 7/28/2014 he was 17.5 lbs and 26 inches height for 38% and 22%
9 Months - 10/2/2014 he was 19.68 lbs and 28 inches height for 40% and 48%
1 Year - 1/12/2015 he was 20.4 lbs and 29 inches height for 16% and 25%
13 Months - 2/15/2015 he was 20.5 lbs and 29.72 inches height for 11% and 31%
15 Months - 4/30/2015 he was 22.4 lbs and 30 inches height for 17% and 13%
18 Months - 7/8/2015 he was 24 lbs and 30.5 inches height for 25% and 8%
19 Months - 8/5/2015 he was 24.01 lbs for 21%
20 Months - 9/10/2015 he was 26.24 lbs and 31.69 inches height for 45% and 16%
21 Months - 10/2/2015 he was 26.8 lbs and 32.25 inches height for 49% and 22%
2 Years - 1/21/2016 he was 28.2 lbs and 33.75 inches height for 52% and 30%

He has grown quite a bit and is I think the biggest of my 2 year olds.

Christmas (So Far)

Thanksgiving was uneventful this year (Thank goodness!) and we had fun at Aunt Bonnie's with family and cousins being Thankful for all that we have. We sure did miss Uncle Ron this year, it just wasn't the same without him.

So, let's move right into the Christmas season, shall we?  The day after Thanksgiving we set up the Christmas Tree, and Saturday after Thanksgiving, our Elf on the Shelf George came out of hiding. And we decorated the tree on Saturday.

On Sunday, George our elf brought Christmas Jammies for the boys to enjoy this entire Christmas Season.

And last Saturday, Eagle Mountain had their annual Santa on the Firetruck ride through Eagle Mountain that is always a favorite at our House, and when we went to Walmart to do our grocery Shopping, Santa was there also, so the boys had to stop by and say hi.

Last Night George left a new Christmas Book for the boys (I didn't get a picture yet), and I know that he has a lot more in store before he leaves us for the North Pole when we leave for New Mexico. Stay tuned for more Christmas Fun from the Wallenbergs.

Garett wanted his own time with Santa, then regretted it

He Sleeps

I don't know what it is about a sleeping baby that I just want to take lots of pictures of, but it is pretty cute!

After Surgery, fell asleep on the couch

Sleeping really cutely

Superhero Boys

At our 3rd yardsale of the year this year, up at Mike's mom's house, the boys found these capes that I was trying to sell, because lets be honest, they didn't ever wear them. Well, they found them and wanted to wear them the rest of the day. And now they are still hanging around my house, sometimes being worn, but for the most part, not. I think I might have just thrown them away last weekend...Shhhhhh!  But, they are cute anyway!

Mr. Independent

Garett is always wanting to do things on his own. It gets really old, really fast, but oh well, right? He is always wanting to eat a go-gurt by himself and either ends up with a mess all over the house, or choking himself trying to get more out, but heaven forbid if you try to help him.

Learning

He might not talk...a lot, but he sure loves to learn from the Leappad!

Sleepy

Have I told you how cute this boy is? He worked out with me during my workout after work then snuggled up on my and fell asleep after we were done. He must have been tired, or I was that comfy!

Cute Boy

How cute is this boy? He was sleeping so cute and soundly last week that I had to take a picture! Plus, it was 5:30 and time for him to wake up.

St. Patricks Day 2015

We went to the park after work on St. Patricks day.  Here are the boys playing at the park in their green!

And here is Garett in his "vintage" 2010 Green St. Patricks day shirt that Gavin wore in 2010 for this day as well.

Lunch Date

On Saturday, Gavin wanted to go grocery shopping with us.  We are trying to stay home as much as possible while we are still recovering from last month and not get sick again.  We went to Subway after shopping, his choice, because he wanted to eat chips and get a drink.  Cute boy!

This Boy

Greyson lately has been asking if he can take pictures with my phone.  Gavin used to do it all the time to, so it is part of the territory.  After he uses my phone, I go through and delete all the photos because they are crap, but I came upon this one that I LOVE!!!!!

Funny Greyson

Every week when we go to do our errands and shopping usually on Friday night, I can always turn around and expect to see this.

This is what happens when you are 3 and refuse to take a nap anymore.  At 5 o'clock you are tired and not running around so you sleep!

Father's Day 2013

I totally forgot to post this picture and just downloaded it from the camera to the computer.  This is Father's Day 2013!

Soccer

Gavin started soccer a couple weeks ago and loving it for the most part.  This is him before his first game in which he didn't play until I left to go to Young Women's :)  Silly kid.  Hopefully he will get the hang of it before the end of the season in a couple weeks!

Preschool 2013

Gavin had his first day of second year preschool today.  He of course loved it and can't wait to go back and for all the fun stuff they are going to do this year!

His favorite food is: Chicken Nuggets

His favorite color is: Red

When he grows up he wants to be: Daddy

Shinner

In May, one Sunday evening, Greyson was laying on the floor and he had Mike's cell phone in his hands looking up at it above his head.  Well, he accidently dropped it and landed his first black eye.
