Carpet Cleaning

Hi all,
I just read about an awesome giveaway for free carpet cleaning. And since I am in desperate need of that, it's worth blogging about.
check it out here if you would like to enter!! (For Utah residents)

Baby #3 is....

another BoY!!!!

(can't you just see another little partner in crime sitting with them?!)

So we will have THREE boys to hug and cuddle and love

THREE boys to wrestle and run and get into TrOuBlE!!!

Because that's what boys are good at.

And we make the best!!!

At the Park!

We met my friend, Megan, and her adorable girls at the park one day. We definitely take advantage of the sunny days when they come!!

We had a lot of fun running around and playing. But the boys very favorite part was feeding the ducks:

Favorite Faces - February!

Weston has developed quite the imagination. He LOVES to pretend and to dress up really silly. He also hates pictures, so it's getting harder to get shots of him. But he is quite the comedian and loves to make me laugh constantly.

Tave absolutely loves hamming it up for the camera!! He has grown tons in the last few months and has a huge personality to show for it! (more on him in another post!) He is my little snugglebug and has such a soft, sweet side!!

Oh these boys make my life so much fun!

Dino Museum with Dad!!

West earned a trip to the Dino Museum and he wanted to go with Jeff.

So they had an awesome father/son outing. He loved having the time alone with Dad!!

The Aquarium

Since our season passes were expiring, Shar & I took the kiddos to the Aquarium:

They love it, we love it,

Everyone's Happy!

Ready for Summer!

The boys and I went to get sunglasses today. Tave is pretty obsessed with glasses but didn't have a pair that fit. They each got to pick out what color they wanted and I think they look pretty stylin:

You can't beat 2 for $5 at Children's Place!

They both LOVE wearing them and Tave ONLY took them off for naptime. Even then, it was a fight! What cute boys!!

Goo!

When I worked at a preschool this was always a favorite activity!

I made some during the weeks I was in charge of Weston's preschool (Valentine's week, that's why it's pink) and we have had so much fun playing with it:

Tave was pretty hesitant at first, but West, of course dived right in! We love this stuff and play with it all the time. It's not as messy as playdough, which is great. (however, it can stain clothing, so don't wear your favorite stuff)

I like hiding little things inside that they can search for.

How to make GOO:

2 cups of Glue (elmers or an off brand)

2 cups warm water

10 drops food coloring

1 tsp Borax

Mix Borax with warm water in a separate bowl.

Mix glue & food coloring.

Add borax/water to glue very slowly

Pull out goo and discard water.

ps. Borax is a laundry booster. It's in powder form and can be found in the laundry soap isle at most stores.

Some fun

We went up to Salt Lake to hang out with Syanne & Aydrien while Chelsea had her ultrasound.

The kiddos had tons of fun together & we had a great time!

Tave loved Aydrien a little too much! He wanted to hug him over and over and kept calling him baby. This baby is just as big as Tave!

West & Syanne loved 'riding' Syanne's quad. Later on we went for real rides outside!

I didn't get any pics of Weston & I riding (don't worry, we wore helmets!) but I did get this cutie! He LOVED sitting on it as long as it was off.

And cute little Aydrien taking a turn sitting with his Dad.

Thanks for a fun visit, Chels & Rob!

James' Visit!

Jeff's brother, James, was in town from Texas for a business trip. We were so glad he came to visit and hang out for a bit before heading back home.

Weston couldn't wait for him to get to our house...around 10 am he started getting impatient. He kept saying "Uncle James & Uncle Johnny sure are taking a long time to get here." So, needless to say, he was pretty thrilled when they arrived (for dinner).

The uncles were quite popular and the boys wanted to play with them (and sit with them) all night. It was really cute. Thanks to James & Jonathan for having so much fun with them. We loved the visit and are so glad we got to see you!!!

And here are Weston's awesome photagraphy skills in action:

17 weeks

In the hopes of getting caught up with the blog, I'm going to post some present day stuff.

Like this:

17 weeks!

I am feeling much better than before and am getting a bit of energy back.

Still tired a lot.

But very grateful for my hubby, and my two sweet boys.

They don't care what the house looks like or what I look like for that matter! (I happen to look significantly bigger at this stage than any of my other two pregnancies...oh well, at least the weight is the same)

We're packing in lots of fun and special times before baby makes 5.

Oh I just love my guys.

3 weeks until we find out what gender this little one is. I'm thinking boy...Weston's rooting for a girl. We pretty much have names picked, so he just tells me all the time that he wants our baby to be a girl named Nya.

We'll see.

Bean Museum Field Trip!

We love the Bean Museum!
Weston loved going with his preschool friends this time.

Favorite Faces- January!

I love how silly and crazy my boys are! They are constantly dressing up (or down) and making me laugh. :)

and the Tave-man:

Oh I love being their mommy!
