Why men are dads.......and not MOMS!

I was downstairs doing clothes this afternoon and my wonderful husband was watching Gavin......well that is what he was supposed to be doing. First I hear "No, don't do that" and then Brian acting like Gavin keeps saying over and over again "Mom, I'm having fun!" I don't really think twice, as Brian is usually pretty good at being a responsible father. Then I come upstairs and see what they have actually been doing. Brian is sitting on the bed watching and Gavin is literally eating the paper. He thought it was fun until I starting cleaning it up and then became extremely unhappy. Did you see that, until I starting cleaning it. They both disappeared for the next 30 minutes.



I can't help but looking at these and laughing now.......but boy was it a lot of work to clean up.

Little Girls

I have a couple of friends having little girls and wanted to make something cute for the new little bebies. I made some really cute onesies with fabric/ribbon flowers. I just love little girls!!!!

Family Fun!

Today we went to Thanksgiving Point with the kids to see all the animals. Gavin is getting to the age where he is enjoying doing and seeing new things. We got to feed the animals and he just loved the baby goats.

This cow was so funny. I was feeding him and he and this Alpaca were fighting for the food. My hand was covered in cow slobber (which was extremely gross) but the kids had fun watching.

After Thanksgiving Point we went to the park and Gavin went down the slides all by himself. He had so much fun.

Fourth Grade

Olivia is now in 4th grade and I think the reality of what school really is has finally "hit home." She is totally overwhelmed by the amount of work she is required to do and the quality of work. She didn't have homework one day of 3rd grade and now she has at least 1-2 hours four days a week. Poor baby......she better get used to it....that's what we told her. I am really proud of her though, she is working so hard.

1st day of school. She thinks she is so cool. We had her eyes checked a couple of weeks ago and apparently she can't see! Thank goodness she likes glasses. However, as of today, she has had glasses for maybe 3 weeks and they are already broken!!!!!!!!!
