six amazing years

I got in trouble this weekend because for some reason I got my anniversary confused with another day. I don't know why but I did. Kev came up to me first thing in the morning on Friday nd said, "Happy anniversary! yes! I said it first." and I said, "Nice try, it's not today it's on Sunday. Oh that is funny you thought it was today. How embarrassing!" Then he fought me on it for a while until finally I realized it WAS on Friday. HE was RIGHT? What? Isn't the wife supposed to be the one that has the dates memorized? He forgave me and we had a fun night out down in St. George while my parents watched the boys. I'm just telling you all this story so you can't be offended if I forget your birthday because I can't even remember when I was married.

nap time?

We gave Weston and G a nap on Sunday after church and when they woke up, this is what we found...

I wasn't sure what to think. I laughed really hard when I first looked at him (of course without him seeing me). After the laughter settled I wondered where he got a pen and if it was just on him or all over his room. I checked out the room and it was fine. West said he did this all on his own with no help from G but I'm not sure what really happened. Either way it reminds me that everyday can be full of surprises.

you know what's amazing.......

hanging out with these two all day long! I wouldn't trade it for anything. I feel so lucky to be a mom and to be able to stay home with my kids. They make life fun. I love them.

West is 3

You can call me a slacker if you want to and I will totally understand! I have been so lazy at blogging lately. Somehow I make time to look at other blogs but I haven't updated my own for quite a while. A lot has happened, we had a crazy and exciting holiday, a vacation, time with the cousins, and last but not least.......Weston's Birthday! He's 3! I can't believe it, where did the time go? I'm so happy that he's a bigger boy now and can do chores, get himself dressed in the morning, play with G, and entertain himself. But I'm not sure I'm ready for him to be done snuggling with me, tugging on my shirt to see if I'll play with him, or being okay without me around. He is a little crazy guy. He loves to sing, dance, play with G, and make dinner. The other night he was helping me with dinner and he said, "Let's get this party started Mom!" I love hearing all the funny things he says. He just started going to Sunbeams and I wanted to cry. I think he is officially big! He loves being the center of attention and he loves being funny. He is so much fun to have around. He keeps us laughing!

After Christmas we went to St. George with the fam and my parents took everyone out to Pirate Pizza for Weston's Birthday. I think that was Weston's favorite Birthday surprise.

If you haven't been to Pirate Pizza you should go sometime. It looks like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride inside and they have an arcade. Our boys love it!

West, Luke, and G hangning out in the boat.

West and Jackson. Weston thinks Jackson is the greatest thing on the planet, and he is.

We also went bowling for his Birthday and he loved it.

I'm embarrased to say that G kicked our trash! I even used bumpers!! We obviously don't go bowling enough. He got a strike at least every other turn!

family pictures

We just had our family pictures taken by one of my best friends harmony. She is so TALENTED!! I love her so much. She is one of the sweetest people I know. Thanks Harm for all your time! I want a family picture to hang in my house and I can't pick, so if any of you have an opinion I'd love to hear it.

halloween

These two had a blast this Halloween. They were so fun to watch because they are so different. West was so nervous when we'd go to a "scary house" but G loved it and would giggle the whole way up to the door!

amazing carveless pumpkins

I love the idea of carving a few pumpkins and painting a few. I have way too many pumpkins to carve them all. I found it on Twig & Thistle It's one of my favorite websites. You can find it on the side of my blog toward the bottom. So fun for something different! I'm going to have to give this a try.
