Matchy matchy

I LOVE that Gavin LOVES to match his brother every Sunday!

Before and After

I've been wanting to cut Drews hair for a few days now... just debating if it was mean of me to cut off his baby hair... and if it would make him look funny all buzzed. But I had the guts to do it today! His roots have been growing in so blond.. and he had the ugliest comb over since his hair fell out in the front after he was first born. Anyway, here's the before and afters! It's gonna take some getting used to but he looks darling! I love my blond boys! I never would have guess they would be blond!

MIA

On Saturday Gavin had been following Devin around outside while I was cleaning inside. They had been wandering in and out throughout the morning when I noticed it was oddly quiet. I yelled out to Devin wondering where Gavin was. (as all moms know, silence isn't a good sign) We searched the house first and I noticed a bulge at the bottom of my bedroom curtains. I grabbed my camera and came back. This is what I found :)

I guess he loves those oreos as much as him mommy!

Craft time ideas

I found a great website with some fun craft ideas a week ago. Gavin and I have created something new almost every morning... he looks forward to our craft time everyday. Unfortunately it's a little too advanced to do by himself, but it's fun to have something we can do together that I actually enjoy doing too :) Here's today's projects: (a duck and an owl)

Here and here are a few more sites I found that have other great ideas!

4th of July weekend

Our 4th of July weekend included lots of rain: (like it does every year here! Lame..)

Playing inside:

Enjoying every minute with this guy: (I seriously can't get enough of him!)

Indulging in too much fabulous food!

Finally buying a BBQ so we can grill all summer long! (nothing like BBQ tri tip)

Enjoying a few minutes of much needed relax time!

Then we walked the short walk to the huge downtown park to see the amazing firework show! Even Drew woke up to see it and smiled the whole time! I'm sad I didn't bring my camera cuz it would have made for some great pics.

And this was just too cute... we rented the movie "Up" saturday night and Gavin insisted on sleeping with his ballon he got at Applebees earlier that night. He fell asleep holding the string in his hand :)

watch this

Okay, so my sister posted this link on our family website today. I cried my eyes out. It's a beautiful clip of Elder Holland speaking on motherhood. Please take the time to watch it... it is so worth 3 mins of your time today!

Fattening up!

Love that this little guy seems to look bigger every morning! They grow so fast!! He's still such an angel!! I can't get enough off him!

Lovin his play mat now.. he talks gibberish and smiles like crazy at the bird and lady bug above him. It keeps him happy while I get ready everyday... at least until Gavin comes and clobbers him!
