Happy St. Patrick's Day from these little guys.
P.S. this was suppose to post the day after St. Patrick's Day... Stupid Blogger.

This year instead of buying the boys tshirts I decided to try my luck with making them shirts. I think they turned out pretty well. It was pretty simpl. The four leaf clover was ironed on then sewed on, and the lucky I just painted. They looked pretty cute.

Easter 2010

Because it's more then a week after Easter and I haven't posted ANYTHING, here is my post... this is how I roll!

Easter came and went in a blur. Not only was it Easter but it was also Conference Weekend and Bob's mom's birthday. ALL IN THE SAME DAY. Can we get anything more packed into the one day? It was sad because we couldn't really focus on Bob's mom's birthday because we had two other families to visit. And since we are POOR all we could do was wish her a Happy Birthday.

This was also's Gavins first Easter. Unfortunetly he was only 5 weeks old and didn't get to participate too much. And I feel bad because we barely got any pictures of him on Easter. We have a ton of Zack hunting for Eggs at varies peoples homes but not much in the way of Gavin. I know BAD MOMMY! It's just hard because Gavin sleeps and Zack runs. And there are only so many sleeping baby pictures that can be taken. I promise next Easter will be different, both boys will be on the move and we'll have a lot more pictures of the two of them.



Zack with the easter basket that Bob's Mom made for Zack and Gavin.

Because it was Conference Weekend we didn't have church so we didn't even get to have the boys dress up for church in there Easter vests. But we did have the boys dressed up to visit all of our families. They looked so cute in their matching vests. Too bad I couldn't get Zack to hold Gavin (or to hold still) long enough to get a good picture. This one will have to do.





Zack seemed to enjoy Easter this year. He understood that inside the hidden eggs were candy (and boy does he love his candy). He still doesn't understand that once he's found one egg he needs to keep looking. Because he's happy with the candy that he has at the moment and he wants to eat it NOW!

The Easter Bunny brought both of the boys a bunch of loot! We got them both sport baskets... he he! I love them!

Gavin recieved: A toy that hooks on his car seat, a Onesie that says "Wild Thing" on it, some socks, and a few eggs with candy (for Mommy and Daddy).
Zack recieved: A foam sword, A new car, Pajamas, Elmo book and some eggs filled with candy.

And last but not least here is a picture of Zack before one of the Easter Egg Hunts. He put the basket on his head with no coxing from his parents. He's such a ham!

A little late... Christmas update

Oh well, if it's January 12th and I'm just getting to the Christmas update.

We had a great Christmas this year. I was hoping to get to the Mall to have a picture of Zack with Santa but I think I'll have to leave that tramatic experience until next year.

Bob and I are trying to have start the tradition where we get new pajamas on Christmas Eve. So far it's worked out pretty well. Bob is really hard to buy p.j's for because he's pretty picky about what he'll sleep in. He gets hot at night so he hates the flannel or the fleece bottoms. And they have to be pretty loose on him. Normally I end up buying him some type of workout pants. But it works and he's happy. Me on the other hand I love anything warm and fuzzy!

Here is a picture of our family with our new Christmas P.J.'s!

Zack must have a been a good boy this year, because Santa came to our house. He filled our stocking and left some wonderful presents for all of us.

Christmas morning we invited my mom and Bob's parents to come over to watch Zack open presents. We figured this was a good year to do that because he was already curious about the newly wrapped presents under the tree. It was a lot of fun having them there and Zack sure likes his Grandparents! And boy do they spoil him!

Bob's parents got Zack a new chair, a talking car he can ride and his uncle Blaine gave him a Hammer set that he could bang on.

My mom gave Zack Car garage and a toy that when you push buttons animals pop up. Santa gave Zack puzzles, another chair, a toy that you pull the arm and the middle spins around and makes the animal sound that is lands on and a bucket to help him learn shapes.

Mom and Dad gave Zack clothes, and a toy car.

In the end Zack had a lot of new toys that he loves to play with!

This is the mess after we'd opened all our Christmas presents!

And here is a picture of the baby bump on Christmas morning. I have to say I'm feeling so much better then I did with Zack. I do think the little guy has dropped, as getting up has been really hard and a bit painful (lots of pressure "down there").

The rest of the christmas day was spent at my sister's house for breakfast then at my grandma's house for dinner. It was super yummy and great to spend time with family!

Halloween 2009

Halloween started off with Zack and I carving a pumpkin. For Zack's first pumpkin carving experience he also wanted to taste what pumpkin was. He didn't seem to mind it too much. Mommy of course put a quick stop to eating raw pumpkin.

Zack instead "helped" clean the pumpkin out with a spoon.

I'm pretty proud of our Halloween costumes this year. I decided that our family would dress as the Rubbles from the Flintstone cartoon series. Bob was Barney, I was Betty and Zack was BamBam. Zack took his role as BamBam very serious and practiced for days before halloween. His toys and poor Abbie suffered a lot of practice. I've very proud of our costumes this year because normally I would bombard my poor mother to have her help me make my costume(s) but this year I pulled out a old sewing machine that was in our basement (that I thought didn't work) and sewed all our costumes. The part that I was most proud of was all of our costumes only took $15 to make! I was very resourceful. My costume I used a previous costume that either Bob or I had worn to a Murder Mystery Toga Party. I just cut it to make the betty costume. Zack's costume was easy because it was so small. And for the brown I was able to use the remnants from Bob's costume. Bob's costume I was going to buy fabric but it all would have costed me $5 per yard and I may have needed 2-3 yards. But while I was deciding I looked across the aisle at Walmart and saw a brown fleece blanket on sale for only $4.00. And it totally worked! I am proud of myself for making all of our costumes myself. I even figured out (mostly) how to sew fabric onto the bat for Zack club. This is definitly a milestone for me! But my mom isn't out of the woods yet, if there is every anything that needs a pattern to make I will definitly be knocking on her door. I am horrible at reading/understanding sewing patterns!

Every year our ward has a trunk or treat on Halloween. I'm not sure Zack really understood what was going on, but he's having fun eating his spoils from going car to car. Of course Mommy and Daddy are partaking as well.

After Trunk or Treating we went to Deanna's house to have our family party. It was a ton of fun. We brought our pumpkins to display on her doorstep. The neighbors/trick or treaters helped decide which pumpkin won the contest. I'm sure it was my mom's because let's be honest she's amazing. But in the end Deanna and Kelly gave me the prize for my canibal pumpkin. I didn't get any pictures because my camera battery died... boo. But I know that my sister and Arielle were able to get pictures so if I get any from them I'll post them here. We had fun at the party. We played games -- pumpkin bowling was the funnest! And of course we ate all the spooky treats.

My family always comes up great costumes!

And of course Baby #2 was part of all the fun. He even got his own costume...
