Summer time


At mine and Drew's wedding dinner Rita told a story about Drew as a toddler wearing a stocking hat while riding his three wheeler up and down the street in the middle of the hot summer. Well, like father like son. Mac has been wearing this stocking hat, that we accidentally stole from my cousin, all week. He has a million hats but he chooses to wear this one. I love that he doesn't pull it all the way down and that it's an adult size and it fits his big head.
I was watering the plants and Mac was whining so I started spraying him with hose. I know, borderline abusive but he loved it. So I put the sprinklers on and watched him run through them for a half an hour. Yes, I was too lazy to put him in a swimsuit.


Nat came out to help me while Drew was taking the bar(so glad it's over). She flew in Sunday night and is leaving today. This week we repainted the coffee table red, ran errands, and poor Nat did a lot of babysitting. I had doctor appointments to go to and other relief society visits and Drew and I had a work party to attend. It was so nice not to have to drag Mac everywhere. She was SO helpful with the boys. The only bad thing is I had more time to sit around and eat. I wish we had her around all the time. As you can tell in this picture Mac loved having her too.

Story Time with Friends


One of our favorite things to go to is Story Time. Mac and I both love it. The librarian does such a great job getting the children to participate. She started out with some songs and then read three books. After every song and story Mac would stand up and clap and cheer. After we usually just read some books and play with the puzzles, but this time I invited my friend Ashlee and her two boys (Ben & Tyler). Ben and and Mac are three months apart and they play so well together. After story time they ran around, wrestled in the story pit and pulled each other on the horse / fought over the horse:). With only a few tears, story time was a success.

One month old

Today Gray is a month old. I can't tell you how fast time has gone by. At his two week check up he weighed 10.02 lbs. and was 21.5 inches long. I'm sure by now he's gained at least another pound or two. I'm so glad that he's healthy and growing but he's already changing too much. I wish I could pause everything and just enjoy having him be a newborn. Maybe our next will stay smaller longer. I doubt it.

This isn't the best picture but our little chunk has started smiling


Poor Gray, Mac is obsessed with kissing and holding him. When he wakes up in the morning the first thing he does is give Gray hugs and kisses and every time he walks by Gray he kisses him. It's great that Mac loves Gray but his loves can mistakingly look like violent acts. We have to keep a watchful eye on Mac at all times.

One room down...

Drew and I have been busy. We've painted the kitchen, Mac's room, and Gray's room. But Mac's is the only one that is totally put together. It's extremely simple but we love it.

Before
After

You might be thinking Mac's hair is wet because he just got out of the bath or ran through sprinklers; well, your wrong. Mac found a can of Fabreez air freshener and sprayed it all over himself. His hair and clothes were soaked. Even after a shower he reaked of imitation melon.

Happy Birthday!!!!

Yesterday was Drew's 26th birthday. Too bad he was in class all day preparing for the bar. Birthdays just aren't the same anymore. When he got home we ordered Chinese food, went shopping and had treats. Drew we love you so much, Happy birthday!
why I love Drew....

* He can grow facial hair like no one I know.

* He has the best sense of humor. I love watching comedies with him. His laugh is contagious.



*Even when he 's overwhelmed with school or work he puts me,Mac and Gray first.



* He's the best story teller. He can make the most boring things seem interesting.

*when I was pregnant with Mac he managed to
almost gain as much weight as I did. He's so good to me:)

Happy 4th

Happy 4th of July! Yesterday we spent the day with the Bloods and the Hydes. We had fun, playing the Wii, (rather watching the boys play the Wii). Drew went undefeated in boxing. I'm so proud of him:) The BBQ was amazing but the best part of the night was watching Mac watch the fireworks. He got so into it. He was dancing in the streets and screaming wow and doing his big belly laugh. I wish I had my video camera. The fourth of July is becoming one of my favorite holidays, kids make it a million times better.

First time doing the collage (thanks Ash K.) click on the image to enlarge....


The many faces of Mac during the firework show...

The Boys

Boring post.... Just more pictures of Mac and Gray
Today we took the boys out in the backyard to take some pictures. ...

I was so nervous when my mom left, I had doubts about whether I could handle these two boys....
Even with very little sleep, I'm proud to say that not only are we surviving, but life is great.

Gray is the sweetest baby
Mac has the fake cry down. Isn't he cute?
My favorite Brown eyes
While golfing with my little brother, Drew ran into some poison ivy. It's all over his left hand and arm and some how it got on his forehead. He also has bug bites all over his face and legs. Needless to say we have been going through the calamine lotion and benadryl spray. Poor guy:(
