{Gavin 63 Months}

Dear Gavin-

I am getting more and more behind in my blogging because we are so busy these days. You keep me on my feet, always a new adventure!

You are so totally into school, your friends, your teachers, your whole school community, and everything that goes along with it. You walk onto campus and greet everyone by first name. You are so comfortable and so happy. I smile ear to ear just watching you there. Its like it was meant for you. 

You are busy with school, playdates, parks, cooking, more cooking and lastly cooking these days! You are counting to 100, writing books, writing all your letters, and starting to read! I can't keep up, something new every day!

Having Grandma here for a week was a big special treat for you. You loved to be with her, and learn from her. 

Mikey is your pal. He puts up with your rough playing, and he also snuggles up to you at night. Its very sweet. 

You still sleep great and nap in the afternoons. Some days you come snuggle with me and we read books for an hour, until you fall fast asleep. My favorite time. 

You tell me you love me multiple times a day. Out of nowhere, you will just stop what you are doing and say "Oh, mom, Oh mom I just love you SO much!" I can't help but hug you and kiss you when you say this. You are so loved. 

Stay you--Gavin!

{Austin 33 Months}

Dear Austin-

Oh how much you change from month to month! You are MR CHATTERBOX these days...talking all day long, sounding like a grown up sometimes! You sing songs, repeat everything, and let us know exactly what is on your mind. The whole world knows if Austin is not happy!

You are spunky, a total comedian. You know it when you are funny, and soak it all up. 

You are also such a hard worker like your daddy and brother. You help with ANY project, at home or at school. Busy, busy, busy....always something to do. 

You are still the ultimate sleeper. Go to bed easily, within minutes (after you have water, songs, snuggles, nightlight, more water, more songs, and hugs.) You sleep through the night for 10 hours and then nap every afternoon for 2-4hrs. 

You are in 3t clothes, size 9.5-10 shoes, and size 5 diapers when you sleep. Otherwise you are completely potty trained, but still go poop in a diaper. One day you will outgrow that one!

Firetrucks, trains, doctors. You need to pretend to be them all the time...and you go crazy if you see a real firetruck. We must stop the car to look. Pretend play is your favorite, you spend most of your day doing that. Pretend cooking? One of your specialties. You will spend hours in the real and pretend kitchen, cooking away!

Love you SO MUCH Austie!

Children's Discovery Museum with Grandma!

The boys and Grandma had never been over the GG Bridge, until today! We headed over to Sausalito to go to the Children's Museum...and I have to say, after years of visiting MANY museums, this one wins some awards! The outdoor area is incredible, and so much fun. We were there for a few hours, and the boys had yet to even go inside. They loved it all. 

After the museum, we walked over to Cavallo Point for lunch. We managed to get last minute reservations, so it was perfect! The boys had the fanciest (all natural of course) corn dogs they had ever had! ;) 

We ended the day by stopping in SF at Lands End, and did a little hike to the Sutra Baths. It was a nice quick hike, and pretty cool to right on the ocean. The boys favorite part was going in a cave to watch the waves crash...a bit scary but fun!

THANK YOU GRANDMA for the awesome day!

Turkey Trot 2014

This year Gavin and Austin were pumped to do the TT on their bikes. Gavin was in FIRST place. (I was incredibly out of breath as I sprinted behind him)

School Pictures 2014

Happy Halloween 2014

Both boys wanted to be dragons for the second year in a row! Austin borrowed a new dragon costume from a friend, and Gavin was the same as last year...his choice! 

We had Gavin's buddy David and his family, Ma & Papa, and Meghan over for pizza...then headed out while it was still light out. We could not keep the boys in the yard any longer!

They made it pretty far this year...about 4 blocks. It was so incredible to see Austin keeping up with the big kids. In fact, Gavin and David were done first, and Austin wanted to keep going! So Austin and I finished up some neighbors houses while the big kids went home to check out their candy. 

We are thankful that it stopped raining before we headed out! It was rainy all day long, and it was the first rain in a VERY long time. Go figure!

Boys Words

Sometimes the boys say words that are so incredibly adorable, I don't have the heart to correct them. 

Gavin calls Parmesan cheese, Parma-John. So cute. 

Austin says Ye-Yo for yellow. 

Whenever they say words like this (there are a million more I can't think of right now) I just think its SO cute. :)
