I Heart Spring part 2

We here in Kentucky are enjoying beautiful spring weather and we can't get enough of it. All week we have been outside running around and soaking up the sun we have missed so much during the cold winter.



Drew came home from work and immediately went outside to mow the lawn. Mac saw what he was doing and ran upstairs to retrieve his toy lawn mower. He started pushing it towards Drew and when he got to him, Mac got scared and ran the other way.

Mac eating his most favorite treat, ice cream and occasionally feeding Isaac. Sweet boys.
We had the missionaries over for dinner. Towards the end of the night, they tied a scarf around a little boy's eyes, then told him to find a tennis ball they had hid in the yard. The little boy couldn't find it on his own but after Drew helped him he was able to find it. They likened this to many people trying to find the truth but they just can't find it on their own and we need to help them by sharing our testimony and doing missionary work. Anyway, later that night Mac came in and wanted me to cover his eyes, then he proceeded to try to ride the horse and make his way through the house with his eyes covered. It was pretty funny watching him stumble around.

He puts up with a lot!

Mac, pay back's a beast or something like that...

I heart Spring

Love these 2 boys. Love being outside. Love 70 degree weather. Love feeling the sun on my face. Love talking to friends, while kids run. LOVE days like this!

Down side... I have an appointment with my dermatologist tomorrow and I got a little too much sun. Not looking forward to the lecture I will receive.

He's 9 months

I love this boy so much!

For journal purposes only, here's what Gray's been doing. He still only has 7 teeth, 4 on top and 3 on the bottom. Which makes for one cute crooked smile.
He moves a lot. He rarely just sits, it's quite exhausting. Even when he's going to sleep he kicks (just like his dad). He doesn't really crawl yet. He does the worm and rolls every where.
Gray has the sweetest personality. Extremely laid back yet has a feisty side. He lets Mac push him around and then all of sudden he'll start screaming and scratching Mac. It's pretty funny.

We love you G!

He started grinding his teeth. I can't stand it!! The sound is worse than finger nails on a chalk board. Any suggestions how to stop it?

No, the flat iron wasn't on!

The sleeping habits of a 2 year old

Mac rarely falls asleep in his bed and if by chance he does, he ends up crawling into our bed in the middle of the night. Oh the joys of a 2 year old.

Katie took this while I was out skiing. Mac was so tired he fell asleep down the stairs:)

The only way he'll go to bed. choo choo!

Utah Trip

Another great visit to Utah has come and gone. About a month and half ago Drew and I found plane tickets for 120$ round trip to Utah. We couldn't pass them up so Drew packed us up and sent me and the boys off to visit family for 10 days. The flights were incredible. On the flights to Utah Mac was so excited to see his Grandpas he didn't sleep but was happy as could be. On the way home he slept the entire time while me and Gray played. It really couldn't have gone better.

We had great time with everyone. Mac of course ate up all the attention and still talks about the fast airplane that took him to his Grandpa. He truly loves his grandparents, aunts and uncles. They all spent so much time with us and made our trip a blast.

Gray and Colin

Katie and Emma. Me and my boys. Amy and Colin. They really don't like the group shots.
Gray loved Grandpa. G would start giggling the minute he saw him.
Mac loves Lucy. Everyday he would ask to see her.


Highlights of Utah:

Watching the boys play with their cousins.
Seeing the Draper Temple
shopping with my sisters
Watching countless movies
Skiing
Laying around talking to random family members
Getting my hair done ( Thanks Roo)
Watching Mac play with his uncles and grandpas

We have the best family that put off their own lives when we come into town and spend every minute of their day entertaining. Thank you!!! We miss you already!

Oh and I have the best husband who made a huge sacrifice by sending us off for 10 days. Or was it really a break for him:)? Either way, I missed him and I love being home!

Enjoy all the posts...

Just Playing

There's no better way to spend a warm Sunday afternoon!
