Gavin's cooking show

Let your 5 yr old have access to the video camera and you will see how creative he can be. The end is the funniest part.... enjoy.

Sleeping Beauties

Gavin and Grace now share a room. I couldn't handle Giles in our room any longer and I knew that Giles would wake Grace up in the night so we moved her toddler bed down to Gavin's room. Gavin was a bit devistated, but he has since gotten used to Grace in his room. In fact now I find them sleeping together a lot. The thing that cracks me up about Gavin and Grace sleeping together is that they usually end both end up in Grace's toddler bed instead of Gavin's full size bed. Who knows what they were thinking!

Gavin HATES making his bed. I have often found him laying on top the bed with just a blanket so that he won't have to make it in the morning. Or, like in the pictures, he will just make a bed on the floor instead. The kid cracks me up!

How they can sleep like that is beyond me. As much as they love sleeping in the same bed, I always put Gavin back in his own bed. Then he wakes up and realizes that he still has to make his bed... DANG IT!
I know Giles isn't asleep in my sleeping beauty post, but Brent got Giles to smile so cute I had to add it in. He is getting so big. He is 3 months old and weighs 14 lbs. FYI: 803 is the region he is in for work.

Grace's new 'do

Miss Grace (as he is known in our house) needed a fresh look. She has never had an "official" haircut by a real stylist. So, DaNae referred me to a gal in her ward and she actually came over to the house to give Grace her new hairdo!



Grace was a champ! She got a little scared when Paige put the cape on her but I told Grace it made her look like Belle and she was like "okay." She also said she wanted to hair to look like Tinkerbell. I said sure she will totally look like Tinkerbell.. I'll say whatever is takes for her to hold still while someone has a pair of scissors up to her head.
Grace is holding still really well... she seemed a bit scared about the whole situation.

This is the before hairdo. There were layers everywhere and it just needed to get cleaned up. I am so grateful for the hair stylist who makes house calls! That is seriously the only way to cut a 2 year-old's hair. That and bribery of fruit snacks (or how Grace pronounces it "froo nacks")

Giles' Blessing Day

Last Sunday we had the opportunity to bless Giles. Brent's parents flew in for the special occasion. Giles was grumpy for the pictures but he was an angel during the blessing and all throughout church.

The Grandmas
Giles, Brent, and the Grandpa's
Grandpa Mac and the kids. We had a great time with him over the weekend. It was a fun treat to have Brent's parents here.
Grandma Mac made Gavin this awesome hat. Gavin was even able to go to the store and pick out his own colored yarn. I guess he couldn't decided which color to choose because he ended up choosing a rainbow yarn. We are lucky to have Grandma Mac stay will us for a whole 10 days!!

Tubing with the cousins

Brent took Gavin and his two cousins, Parker and Dylan up to Silver Mountain to go tubing on President's day. The boys had a blast tubing, playing in the snow, riding the gondola and just being crazy boys!Dylan and Gavin at the bottom of the tube run.

Taking a break and playing in the snow. The boys made a snow cave.
Eating their packed lunch on the way up the gondola.
Brent and Parker. Thanks Brent for taking the boys on such a fun adventure.
Boys will be boys!
