The Joys of 2 under TWO!

The other day we were all in the family room chatting and didn't notice the silence of our two little guys. Zoe went into the front room and came running out telling us that we needed to see this.....This is what we saw.....notice the bottom shelves are empty? Where did all the books go?

....Well, Drew decided to cover Ethan in them in our living room. They both thought they were being SO funny! I love these two little monkeys!

A New Leaf!

I can't begin to tell you what a sense of relief it is to not have to worry anymore about what or how things are being said on our family blog. I have been married to Gavin for almost 5 years and this is the first time that we have had some privacy with our life. Wooohooo!

Gavin had his first 'oral argument' in a courtroom setting on Monday. He was so funny all day long as he prepped for it. Gavin isn't confrontational, so it was funny watching him get ready. He left with a really big bottle of water that came home empty. He is doing fantastic and loving every second of this program. I am the proudest wife!

GOING UNDERCOVER

Well I've said this before but this time Gavin and I have decided that for the best interest of our family we are going to take our blog and make it a little more secure. We will be making our blog available to only those with permission as of October 1st. Send me a message via facebook with your email address or leave it as a comment and I will send you an invitation to view our blog. With Gavin in Law School and our family situation we feel that we need to maintain a little privacy. We appreciate everyone being so understanding and can't wait to hear from you!

Austin's Baptism

Last Saturday, we had the privileged to be surrounded by family and friends to witness Austin choose to be baptised and confirmed a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We are so proud of the decision that Austin has made. He has started Scouts and LOVES it. He also just recently started swim clinic so that he is ready for swim team this coming summer. On his first day he was able to do the butterfly, just like his Dad! He loves it! We love our bubbers!

Happy Birthday Austin!

I can't believe my baby is 8 today. He gets baptized this Saturday and we are so excited to have friends and family there. He is such a joy in our life. I mean look at that face....how can you not love that most adorable face! I love you Austin.....Have a very happy birthday!

Surprise Party For Zoe....

What can I say...I'm a pretty awesome MOM! Zoe has been BEGGING for a birthday party. Her Birthday was actually back in June, but she was with her mom during that time. Zoe knows how much I LOVE to throw parties so this one I couldn't pass up! We have agonized about when we would have time to throw a party for her as time has slipped through our fingers.

Originally Zoe was suppose to go out of town with Andrea's mom this weekend and on Tuesday Zoe's mom called to tell us that her mom had gotten ill and wouldn't be going. PERFECT opportunity!!!! I immediately called all of her friends from our ward and we set it up for Saturday. I even managed to take Zoe shopping with me to buy things for the party and she didn't have a clue. The boys swore secrecy, which was almost blown by Jared, but I've since forgiven him!

We had a friend invite her over to play until it was time to come home. Boy, as she surprised. In fact, she had a look on her face of confusion as to what was going on since I told her I had a meeting for church at the house. Little did she know it was all about HER!

We had a BLAST!!! All of the girls wore their jammies! They decorated their own pillow cases, made french bread pizza, watched the new Hannah Montana Movie with having Manicures and Pedicures, and a wonderful sister in the ward came over and did ALL of the girls hair. It was SO MUCH FUN!!!

New Camera...

Drew trying to help Ethan with the drink. Such a big helper.





Gavin let Drew eat Ice cream for breakfast! What can I say. At least he had eggs first!




My sweet angel!





Boy, did he need a hair cut. Still as handsome as ever!







So Gavin got me a camera for my birthday/anniversary. I am not a photographer by any means, but I am trying desperately how to, #1: use this thing, and #2: Take better pictures. This thing does everything, except my dishes...bummer for me!
