Garett's Baby Blessing
We blessed Garett on Gavin's birthday so we could have one big celebration. He was blessed March 9th, 2014. It was a great day with family and friends. We had a taco bar and celebrated Gavin's 5th birthday (see previous post).

Gavin's 5th Birthday
We blessed Garett and had Gavin's 5th birthday party on his birthday, March 9th, this year. It was a Sunday and a great day! We were so blessed to have a lot of family there and had a great time celebrating a new baby and a birthday.
We did Cinco de Gavin this year because Gavin turned 5. He loved the theme. We had a taco bar and pinata with cupcakes. It was a fun time, great food and awesome day!

5
Dear Gavin -
Today you turn 5! What! Where has the time gone? I can't believe you are 5. So, things are going good with you. You love preschool and are so excited to go to Kindergarten in the fall. You will get your Kindergarten shots this week, that will be fun. You are a great big brother to your two little brothers and such a good big helper for me. Thank you for helping all the time and being so willing. That is a big reason I believe you came to us first.
Remember that we always love you and wouldn't do anything to purposefully hurt you or your brothers in anyway. Your brothers already look up to you so much, so be a good example for them and always try to do what is right. Thank you for always wanting to go to Church every week and stay for your primary class. You like to learn about Jesus, the Gospel and all the songs we sing. You are a good influence for your dad and I too.
You will go to Kindergarten in the Fall and I am so nervous for you, I know you will do great, but I hate that there are others out there that will hurt you and not be nice. You are the nicest kid I have ever met and so kind and willing to help. You have a soft heart and I don't want it to get hurt. I know you will probably do fine, and I will be harder for me than you to send you to Kindergarten, but I am still nervous.
We are so proud of you and the things you do. We can't wait to continue to watch you grow up and experience life. We love you so much and are so thankful you came to earth to be with us! Love you!
Love, Mom

Family Pictures
I know we just got Family pictures done at the end of September, but we now have baby Garett so we have to get NEW Family pictures with him in them. And from the side bar you can see some of them are posted but here are some other cute ones.
Family Update
It has been a hot minute since I have done a family update - So here we go:
Garett: Eats every 3 hours and has a 5 hour stretch at night but then is awake for 2 hours after feeding. He loves his bouncy chair, but doesn't like his swing very much. He sleeps with us at night or in his bouncy chair because anywhere else he doesn't sleep, so I don't sleep. He nurses really well, and the one time we have done the bottle, it has been alright. Hopefully he will get used to it before I go back to work in 2 weeks. He is in 0-3 Month clothes and size 1 diapers. He is growing and we all love him so much and are super lucky he is with us.
Greyson: Still doesn't want to potty train, but knows what he is doing and how to do it for the most part. Talks about himself in the 3rd person...Greyson is done eating, Greyson wants to stay home, fun stuff like that. He is doing so much better sleeping at night in his own bed. He used to come into our room every other night but hasn't done it in a couple weeks now. He loves his little brother and wants to hold him and carry him all the time. He is in 3T shirts, 24 Month and 2T pants and size 5 diapers as well as size 6 shoes. One day we will potty train him. He likes Dinosaur Train and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. He is still on every other day Miralax and we weighed him yesterday and he was 28 pounds. He is excited to go to Preschool next year, but we will need to figure that out for him because the Teacher who taught Gavin the last 2 years is moving on to a school. Knows all his letters, and we are working on colors and numbers and shapes
Gavin: Loves Preschool, is writing all his letters and is learning numbers. He is in 5T shirts, 4T Pants and hasn't had an accident in a while. He is in size 9 shoes. He likes to watch anything on PBS as well as Phineas and Ferb. We are working on his Cinco de Gavin 5th birthday party. He is excited to go to Kindergarten next year. Other than that he is a big helper with Greyson and Garett and getting things for me when I need it and doing things around the house. He loves to vacuum with the vacuum he got for Christmas as well as pick up all the cars and toys at the end of the day.
Mike: Still working, and trying to decide what he is going to do with the Military. I think we have decided that we won't stay in the Navy but it is deciding to get out or to go with the Army. He is the Mustering Petty Officer in the Navy and has Drill weekend this weekend and had it 2 weeks ago, so it has been a busy couple weeks.
Me: Only have 2 more weeks of Maternity Leave before I go back to work on the 24th of Feb. Working on Gavin's birthday party and Garett's blessing then it will be on to Greyson's birthday party. It has been a nice couple weeks not having to really do any YW stuff, but I am ready to get back to it at the same time. Doing school but I am only taking one class this semester. I was signed up for 3 classes but was planning to drop Chemistry but with the lack of sleep and taking care of a baby all the time as well as 2 other boys, I dropped my Math class too (Sorry mom, I will get on it one day) So I am taking Sociology. I am hoping to take at least 2 classes this summer then hopefully I can be back up to 3 classes in the Fall. One day I will finish school!
And that is the update! Enjoy these phone pictures from the last couple weeks!
