It's been a while

I haven't blogged in a while. Blame the pregnancy, the job, the kids, the baby. Whatever. I just haven't had time. Or wanted to. But now I sit and have a free minute or two, pretty much cause my husband is the number one most amazing dad in the universe, I have to catch us on the past whatever months for mainly one reason. After just having a tiny creature shoot out of me and we begin a new journey with three little boys, I started thinking of all the milestones and beginnings. I realize I havent updated Gavin's baby book since.. oh about.. a year and a half. But then I remember I blogged about him monthly so I have a record of his firsts right there. I am grateful for that. Slacker or not I did something right. Anyway,let me introduce you to little Brycen Jax. Born a week late for kicks. 6lbs. 15oz. 20inches on August 19th. He completes this little family and we couldn't be more thrilled raising a house full of little men.

We are all in awe. In love. Bryce is now 7 weeks. He smiles the cutest smiles. He is now 8lbs. 15oz and 22 inches. We are all adjusted. Landon is by far the best big brother and biggest helper. I woud be lost without him. Gavin helps.. and hurts. He is a little jealous, but loves the snot outta him. We are blessed. That is all.

Train Obsession

Little Gav's LOVES to watch the train as we drive. He used to FREAK OUT when he couldn't see it anymore and cry and scream. Made the drive miserable. Now he is so cute! He gets so excited to see it and will just say bye bye when he can't see it anymore.

18 month maddnessss

My booger boo is almost an older brother. I thought I would tie some loose ends on my baby before he is no longer a baby. Well he is a chunky little thing. The boy can eat. But he's a lover. He's a mommas boy. Hes a Landon wannabe. Hes the biggest goober of all goobers. He can put a smile on anyones face and he knows how to wipe a smile off his brothers. He fights like hes in survival mode. My Chubbers. His doc says I may want to do some sort of portion control. Thats right. She called my kid fat. I almost punched her in the throat. But then I looked at the rolls on Gavs tummy and had to smile. Fat he is not, but I think I should sue the "specialists" who tried to tell me to put butter and chocolate syrup on my 9 month olds food. Glad I didn't listen. Gavin is the strong silent type. But he is finally starting to add words to his small vocabulary. No, I do not care how many words your kid was saying at his age. He's perfect. And funny. I bet your little ones favorite word wasn't nipple. He knows whats important. So far off the top of my head he can say: -mama -dada -bubba -uh oh -more -waffle -bye -hi -nipple -ahh man -yeah -yeaahhh budddyyy -duck -quack and probably only a few more that i can't think of. He loves to play baseball and golf. Read books and sing songs. Do anything and everything brother does. He will not watch TV, but will stop and dance if he hears a theme song. He loves to help his daddy work and do boy things and is a better toy picker upper than Landon. He will "help" unload and load the dishwasher and will put the laundry away. I am so lucky to have such a happy little boy that is so full of life.

Growin Up

My Gavs is growing up. It is evident in the way he looks and acts. How quickly he catches on to everything.

In how much he wants to be like his big bro.

He is so cute. Knows just about everything ya know. Where are your ears?

Where are your eyes?

Where is your tongue?

Where is your hair?

And where is that cheesy teethy smile?

Its hard to believe that my little boy is just months away from becoming a big brother. In the words of Landon, Love you Gavin Johhny Poo!

Mini Vacay

Last week we took a break in our week to go to Havasu to see Matt's parents and his Aunt who came down from Michigan. We drove up in the morning and came home that night. It wasn't bad at all. Being able to see our family and not be up all night with kids who won't sleep. It turned out great. We spent the day on the water and had a nice dinner. Here are some pics to our mini vacay.

Papa and his Boys

Gavin being silly with Grandma

Uncle Kenny chillin with my boy

The boys lovin the sand and water

What? Even Baby Brycen is enjoying the sun and pouchin' out like whoa.

I just love them. Where are the pics of Aunt Tammy? Blame Matt.. I forgot my camera. What a great way to spend a Friday.

Half Way

So I am officially Half way done baking Brycen. 20.5 weeks. Need to factor in that extra 8 days my boys seem to linger inside scared to meet me. So Im here. So far this pregnancy has been harder than the other 2. I mean Im sure it is a piece of cake compares to some peoples but with 2 boys constantly asking for juice or a snack, needing diapers changed or help building spidermans fort, between work and chores, I am one. tired. momma. This little guy inside me is growing and growing. Im not excited for this summer heat or bathing suit season. I will embrace this bump though and wear it proudly. I have a little bit of an edge. I am ready to see what this second half holds. Hoping it flies by and I can hold my new little one in no time. Maybe even on time.. yeah who am I kidding. Heres to 20 and a half more weeks!

My little Rockie

Boys. I love my boys. I couldn't wait until I would officially be "the soccer mom." Practice, games, pizza parties. This was a big part of my childhood being a tomboy and all. Im just cut out for this life and God would agree blessing us with yet another BOY! We are so excited. Bring on the fights, the broken bones, the dirt. We are ready. I always have been. Anyway, Baseball season is here. My fresh 3 year old can start sports. He is on the Colorado Rockies with one of his best friends Baylee. I snuck outta work early last Wednesday since Matt had to work and took him to practice. Ummm yeah. 3 and 4 year olds may not be the most coordinated and greatest listeners. This will be an interesting and entertaining season. Between chasing Gavin and trying to get Landon to participate and listen I snapped a few pics. Uncle Kenny even came to watch and ended up helping with the boys and the coach. I can't wait until the first chaotic game. This will be so much fun!

Happy Birthday To My Big 3 Year Old!

Valentines Day. The day of LOVE. What greater gift we got 3 years ago. I can't believe my baby boy is 3. We celebrated early. Balloons covered the floor. Daddy made pancakes. We got ready and headed out for a surprise. We took the boys to John's Incredible Pizza. If you've never been there, you should go. It was so much fun! We played and played. And ate and ate. After that we loaded up and headed to Rancho. The boys napped on the way which was perfect. Landon had another surprise. His cousins Carson and Caitlyn met us at Pump it Up. A kids dream. They had so much fun together. Landon got to choose dinner, in n out, so he could get a chocolate shake. All in all it was the best way to spend Valentines Day. A day celebrating one of our biggest loves; our boy. Happy Birthday Landon.
