Gavin's Birthday Party

We had a small gathering for Gavins Birthday Last night. Just Grandparents and a few aunts and uncles came over for some cake and Ice cream and the opening of gifts.
It started off by Jason taking Gavin for a ride on Cody's sled around the house.

The Family Cake

My little sister made this large cupCAKE for him to demolish. It was the cutest thing! THanks Madi! The eating of the cake!!!

Happy Birthday Gavin!

Yesterday was my little man's Birthday! I can not believe that it has already been a year since he was born! He has been such a wonderful addition to this family. He brings a smile to everyone he see's. He has such a content personality. And a sweet spirit! I love you so much Gaberdo!

Fun facts.

Outside My Window...is the signs of spring. And my little Carter riding back and forth on the sidewalk on his new bike, He had his little "WORK GLOVES" on and helping Jason unload wood from the back of the truck.


I am Wearing...My favorite pajama pants, and sweatshirt.

I am so Grateful...The sounds of my kids talking and laughing, Carter reviewing the sounds that animals make to my little Gavin. My husband having pillow fights with the two boys... They adore him!

I am Thinking...What on earth am I going to do for my little family to make Valentines Day memorable.

I am Creating...New craft ideas.

I am Missing...FRIENDS... I love my close friends. We ALL went out to dinner the other day, and I miss all those bonds we have.

1 Thing I Love About My Job Right Now...I love helping the little ones learn new things. Discover new things. But most of all, I love the fact that it let's me stay home with my little men. I Love nothing more than to see EVERYTHING they experience.

I am Hoping and Praying For...My Brother on his mission, that he stays safe, and knows that we love, and pray for him EVERYDAY. And that my boys grow to be loving and respectful young men!

From the Kitchen...Comes the smell of homemade breadsticks that I made for our family Valentines Day dinner today...

A Few of my Favorite Things...My Husband texting me, and telling me that he loves me, without any reason at all. My Babies Loves. Carter wanting me to be apart of EVERYTHING that he does. My Family, and inlaws being so supportive of all we do. My bulldog. Fountain Diet mt dew. Camp fires. Grilled cheese sandwiches, and tomato soup. Making wood crafts. Having friends come over. Serving. A clean house, and being on top of the laundry pile!

My Love...My family... Dogs and all.

Today..I enjoyed staying home with my family, making breadsticks for our dinner, and heading out to feed the horses. I love doing all of these, BECAUSE I AM WITH MY FAMILY!

My hero...The men in my life! My dad, because I have always been a daddy's girl. He has always been so supportive of everything. even the struggles I have been through, he has stood by my side,

My Grandpa white, Because he is so sincere. Even when he does not say a word, you feel his love, and concern for you and your family. He Has a strong testimony of the church, which I admire. He is a great man!
My father-in-law Paul. He has such great love for our family. He is so sweet with my little boys, when he is with them.. he is WITH THEM! there are no distractions. Even when his body is hurting, he will be down on the floor enjoying there company. He has helped our family more times than I can count! He calls in and checks on me during the week days, and brings me a cold diet dew when he can tell that I am stressed.
