Dr. Gavin

    After Dr. Gavin carefully inspected daddy (his patient) with his new Wall-e flashlight, he diagnosed Lance with boogers in his nose, an ear infection in his ears, sugar in his mouth and prescribed some rain drops for his eyes. Daddy should see the Doctor more often!

Jackson's 2nd Birthday

For Jackson's birthday we had our besteez over for pizza, at Jackson's request. They gave him M&M's and dinosaurs which obviously was a big hit. They also had a little something for Gavin so he wouldn't feel left out. That was so thoughtful.

He was oohing with excitement in this picture.

Still freaking out...

Then throws his beloved sunglasses to the wayside in his pure excitement.

We literally JUST gave him a lawn mower for his birthday. He loves to push things. Strollers, cars, shopping carts, anything. So thankfully, this was a big hit.

He was very serious about blowing his candles out.

And very serious about eating his cuppycake.

I can't even believe this is him a year ago. Thank goodness he grew some hair. He was still just as serious about eating his cake back then! He is such a treasure in our family. I love this guy beyond words. He is so loving and mischevious and passionate about things. Like eating. (He is notorious for pounding all of the snacks in nursery before the other kids even see it coming). I swear we feed him. He is just a bottomless pit! He was born with a very strong personality. We butt heads the most I think because he is so like me. He is one determined little guy with very little fear. Lets just say he is the one that keeps me on my toes and I love him for that. He is such a momma's boy. He has always hated whenever I've held any other babies. He loves giving kisses and hugs and loves his big brother to death. He is always one step behind whatever Gavin is doing. Jacky, you bring so much joy to mommy and daddy's heart. We love you little Jackson. I wish I could keep you little forever sunshine.

My mom gave him a motorcycle for his b-day that he would NOT put down; in the store, in the car on the way home from the store, or the drive all the way back to Utah. On the way home from the store after buying it, he fell asleep holding it. Even though he was asleep he was still on alert because I tried to take it and he vice-gripped it and yelled "NO!" and then nodded back to sleep. It was so funny. Don't LET GO little buddy! You'r brother might play with it.

San Diegoooo!

I recently got to go to San Diego for my brother Keldon's highschool graduation. I drove the 14 hour drive with my 2 boys. We had such a great time. Congratulations to Keldon who is such a handsome and great guy. I'm so lucky that he is my brother and I am so proud of him. He also recently completed his Eagle Scout project, which I am estatic about. Sometimes I think it's hard to stay motivated towards the end of those, especially when your ready to move out. Great job buddy! We were sooo happy to see the beach. My boys saw the sand and immediately threw themselves to the ground to make... sand angels? They've been in Utah too long. I'm sorry to those friends I did not get to see. Why does it always seem so hectic to try and see everyone when I'm traveling? I wanted to to see alot of people and hardly ended up seeing anyone. Sorry, I'm a schlump.
