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!

Happy Father's Day!

These cute little boys LOVE their dad so much!

Happy Father's Day to my own incredible dad!!

Sunday afternoon

I threw a blanket out on the grass today after Gavins nap and we actually got to enjoy a little sun! Yesterday was the first sunny day of the year here.. it was fabulous!! Bring on more sun please!! Anyway, here's a few pics from today... enjoy!

I know this one is blurry but I had to post it... look how cute this little smile is!!

Only in Washington would my son dress himself in a sweatshirt and rain boots in the middle of June!

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE my boys... well, I DO!

Bad mommy...

Remember that sun I was referring to that decided to finally show its face saturday... well it kissed Gavin pretty good :) We bought sunblock at costco later that day!

I think Gavin thought the day at the water park was worth it though! (wish I had brought my camara with me.. it really was fabulous)

If you can't find him...

... this is what he'll be up to!

Brothers

These two boys were "playing" on the couch yesterday morning and I had to snap a picture. We were lucky enough to catch Drew in a partial smile. I can't believe I'm a mother of two boys! It's crazy for me to think sometimes! I hope they grow up to be best friends!

PS. Any advice on how to keep Gavin from smothering him to death... Devin and I are going crazy trying to keep him out of his face all the time/ hurting him?

Strawberries!

Thank you California for sending these gorgeous huge juicy strawberries to costco!! Without them my child wouldn't eat breakfast!

6 weeks

Starting to bald in the front now just like Gavin did! I'm sure it will come back blonde too!

Drew has honestly been the sweetest little angel child. I feel so blessed to have him. He has the sweetest little cry and whimper I've ever heard...he sleeps like a dream. (that's the biggest blessing I think)... and he's just started giving us smiles and coos. Man I could just gobble this little guy up!

3 weeks old

I woke up yesterday and thought Drew looked older... must be because he's 3 weeks old now!! So I snapped a few pics while we played on Gavins bed yesterday morning. I'm just loving these navy blue eyes... wonder if they will stay!

Don't you LOVE these little dimples? I can't get enough of them!

My "baby" Gavins hands and feet don't look so little anymore :(

I'm SO thankful Gavin loves his "new brother" so much and tells him everyday... and everyone we see!

Almost 2 weeks old!

So... it's almost been 2 weeks since Drew has joined our family! I can't believe how perfect this little boy is!! Devin and I feel so blessed! He SO calm natured. Only cries when he's hungry or hurts. He has the cutest newborn squeal you've ever heard. He SLEEPS.... Gavin was a terrible sleeper and was colic for the first 3 months.... but Drew goes 4 to 7 hours at a time at night between feeds. It's so weird not feel overly exhausted like I did with Gavin. The hardest thing now is trying to keep his brother from clobbering him with love. Gavin wants so badly to hold and play with him. These little boys will be best friends I'm sure.

Here's a sneak peak to some of the pics I took this weekend so you can all see how cute this little guy is!! (Thank you to my amazing sister Kristen who I sent these pics to so she could edit them for me!)
