Brothers

I tried to take some pics of these 2 cute guys today...
didn't work out so well!

There was lots of this...

and this...

I'm sure glad these boys love each other so much!

Now, if I could just get them to both look good in a pic TOGETHER :)

Maybe next time!


I did let Gavin have his own time in front of the camera though...

And a few more from the cheese ball himself :)

PS. Sorry for the picture overload lately but we moved again (yes, the 9th move in the 41/2 years we've been married!) and I'm obsessed with the lighting in my bedroom! I don't have to touch photoshop one bit.. it's awesome!

Santa's Helper

I had an hour before Drews nap today while Gavin was sleeping... so I decided to take a few christmas pics of this little guy! Oh how I love this age!!

I'm obsessed with him.. I know :)

Botanical Park Lights

For family home evening we went to see the botanical park lights. We've gone every year and totally enjoyed it! Thought you might enjoy seeing how incredible it is too!

After Thanksgiving Sales

For those of you who don't want to hit the crazy lines this weekend... this website has awesome sales already! Take a peak! http://www.bestcybermondaysales.com/

Who wouldn't...

Who wouldn't want to wake up to this little guy?! :)

I hope he made you smile too today!

Winter is here!

A snow storm started on Sunday and left us with a fun amount to play with! Gavin and his best friend Natalie spent the morning building a little snowman and throwing snowballs.

This little guy and I joined for a little of it!

Then this amazing man took his son sledding late last night when he got back from work (work clothes and all). He's such a great daddy! (we have a pretty good hill in our backyard)

Hope you're all enjoying some hot chocolate too!

It's about time already!!

I know you want these... but they're mine :) This last week I was walking in the rain into Nordstroms with Drew in my arms when me foot slightly slipped for the millionth time! I had had it! NO more slipping in rainy weather... it was time for me to get rainboots... finally! I've lived in Seattle for 3 years now and have never owned a single pair of rain boots... crazy huh?! Gavin on the other hand has owned 3 pairs. Why do moms never shop for themselves?!

A little help from any of you?

This is my brother in law Phil (the big guy, not the darling little ones). He's awesome. He's a great hubby to my baby sister Holly, a super dad to two of the cutest little munchkins and an all around fun person to be with. The job which he is currently working in hasn't been ideal for a family life and he is looking into making a change. That's where I thought you all could come in. Do any of you know of a job opportunity that may be a good fit for him? Phil has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Science with a minor in Business Management (where he graduated at the top of his class). A job in these fields (sales rep in the health industry, P.R. or Human Resource or anything sports related would be ideal but he is open to exploring other opportunities. He really wants to find a job that he could invest his time and energy into becoming a lifetime career. So friends, if you could help us out with any ideas or opportunities you know of, it'd be greatly appreciated (ask your hubbies too!) Thanks!

Fall leaves = Pure Joy

I LOVE this tree! It's ginormous and looks absolutely GORGEOUS come spring and fall. We enjoy many picnics out there in it's shade. But Devin HATES this tree... and for good reason. Every fall it drops more leaves than you can even imagine. If I have my window open I can actually hear them fall all day long.

Today, Gavin and his best friend found how wonderful those fall leaves can be! It was really pure joy watching them play!
