Walking walking walking

Here is our cute little walking guy.

This first video was taken last week when he decided walking might be kind of cool:

And this second video is just today, he now walks waaaay more than he crawls. He absolutely LOVES it!!

go Tave go!

Oh what do you do in the summer-time?

We are missing Jeff a lot. So we fill our time with lots of fun, crazy things and we laugh and play. We teach Tave new tricks and we sing songs. We swim, go for walks, color, and hide in the stuffed animals.

Basically, all three of us act like kids all day long.

It's great.

Enjoy a few videos. Some are new, some are old, but they're all adorable. (They're my kids, what can I say?)

'Being Buzz' I knew one day our kids would love the lovesack. Best.Toy.Ever!

'Cabinet Crashing'

We don't usually let him do this, so he thought it was awesome when he snuck in..too bad it's so loud and we caught on to him right away! I just had to grab the camera. You can see how excited he gets at the end.

'ABC's' He loves to sing..and we love it too!

'Walking, sort of'

Tave loves to walk with his truck. He keeps going until he hits a wall and then we have to help him turn it around. He could do this all day! (Weston makes a cameo. That kid sure is a ham when I'm not trying to get HIM in the shot!)

Hope you enjoyed!

Tave-ster loves

This kiddo is learning like crazy. He just soaks up everything we show him and tries it out for himself. He has definitely developed his own little (actually quite BIG) personality.

Tave, you make our family so much better by being in it!

The stairs are his ALL-TIME favorite thing. If we leave them unblocked he is up them in about 10 seconds. West & I finally decided to teach him how to go down:

He picked it up right away and had a blast giving hi-fives everytime he made it down on his own. (see video below!)

He loves playing in our pillows:

And, of course, toothbrushes:

West & Tave really adore each other. Which helps when we're teaching Tave new things. Weston thinks it's so great that Tave copies him and Tave just loves to do what Weston does. Win-win, I tell ya. Everyone should have two kids. ;)

Here's our 'Hi-Five' video after Tave learned to go down the stairs backwards:

ps. if you listen carefully Tave even says 'hi-five' twice. So cute. I love hearing him start to talk!!

I just love my boys!

Weston's Diego Birthday!

We had a wonderfully fun and awesome party for West while we were in Texas. But, of course, West just HAD to celebrate his birthday here at home also!! I was only too happy to do it. :) (and then next year we're starting the 'Even-year-only-birthday-parties')

Shar made his awesome awesome invitation. When we picked it up from Costco West just kept staring at it and saying 'Go Weston Go' How cute is he?! Thanks, Shar. You're great!!

Here is the set-up:
So cheap and easy!! The best part was that he LOVED it! It really felt like a rainforest with all of his stuffed animals and the vines or 'lines' as West would call them. I know you are all jealous of my cake-making skills. hehe. Weston loved it and that's all that matters!


The party-ers:
Thanks, everyone, for making it such a special and fun night!

Opening gifts:
My mom had left both boys' birthday presents here for when we got back from Texas. We waited to let them both open them the night of the party and Tave's ball toy was a HIT! They all had so much fun with it!!!


Blowing out the candles:

This year was so fun because I let Weston pick out EVERYTHING for his party. He wanted Chocolate cake and chocolate frosting (just like Uncle Johnny's) and bunny tracks ice cream. We also got to start the family tradition with him of choosing a favorite birthday cereal. He was a huge fan of that!!



After the party we took him out back to try his new t-ball set. He LOVED it and we have had so much fun playing lately!!

We sure loved celebrating our special special 3 year old again!
He is so much fun and an amazing part of our family.
We love you, West!!
