Not So Sweet & Innocent!


OK, so that sweet little boy is becoming a 2 year old in every sense of the idea. He does things just to get under your skin...lol..but oh we sure do love him!
His new thing is to strip down at night and "weedle" all over his bed. He thinks it's a riot! Then, he cries and cries until I go in and see what's wrong. It is exhausting!!! I have washed sheets, blankets, and pillows every day this week and I am pretty sure I will have more to wash tonight.
Another of his new pasttimes is throwing spoons down the heat vent. AGH!! What is with that?!?!? I hate unscrewing the vents every day to get silverware out.
He is the grand master of mommy testing. He knows that it will get my attention and once it does, he looks surprised that I am upset with him and not laughing at his antics.
The biggest problem is that he is just so darn cute! That giant smile would melt anyone's heart..lol
Oh Gavin, we love you! In 10 years when you read this, remember, no "weedling" in your bed!!

A Few Good Adventures!

I am not sure why is it surprising to me how busy my life is. I do have three children, a grandmother, and a husband to take care of. I am a full-time student and busy with two big callings at church. However, my life is wonderful and I enjoy every minute of it.
Here are a few of the happenings at our house the past few weeks:

We took care of a friend from church for a week while he was on spring break and his dad was working. Tanner and Evan had a great time playing together and got along fantastically! They especially loved playing in the water fountain downtown!


Tanner has also been attending soccer camp the past 5 weeks (Aunt Heather would be proud!) and truly enjoying himself. He now starts T-ball camp tomorrow and cannot wait :)

Also, I have found myself crafting quite a bit this last week. Mostly stuff for Primary but I found the time to make something for my house. I am not quite finished with it yet but take a look at my project:
This is the before....a cupboard door I found at a second hand store for $2:


And the project as of tonight...I still have to add the hooks and the tags, but you get the idea:

Busy Little Bees!

My goodness, I cannot believe how crazy things have been at our house! Being busy without having a thing to post about is nuts..lol
In the past few weeks we have been spring cleaning, watching Tanner play soccer, attending baptisms, feeding the missionaries, and preparing for Grandma Keele and cousin Paige to come visit us. Now that everything has calmed down a bit I can actually post.
We had a great visit with my mom and Paige. We took them to Great Wolf Lodge for a few days, the Zoo, the Mall, the Childrens Museum, and we laughed alot...




We also had our family pictures retaken last week. I really like them. We had alot taken so here are a few of my favorite:
