Boys Will Be Boys!!

Remember the good old days of fort building? You know the times of getting every blanket, pillow, any barricade you could possibly find? I am sure you do :) The boys are in that mode. This is under the Foosball table in our playroom. They worked so hard and made such a disaster but I did not care, so when they asked if they could sleep in there I couldn't say no. It was priceless. Kyle and I just watched them sleep and talk about where has the time gone?? They are so grown up and beyond FUN!

This is with the blanket pulled up to see them under the table.

You can see the flashlight they were using for light. It was so dark when we went up there. Once we pulled back the blanket we could see they had created their own lighting system.

Tavin's Birthday

Tavin is 4!!! Can you believe it? I can't. It was too fun! We gave him a tee shirt that said "I Am The Best Big Brother." We had Jaxon read it and waited for him to catch on to the news we were trying to tell him. Jaxon said "But I am the Big Brother." Shelby says, "So if Tav is going to be the big brother then what does that mean?" Jax replies with question in his eyes, "That I am going to be the little brother?" Needless to say we ended up pointing to my tummy and explaining we were going to have a baby and it was another boy. Tav was thrilled, Jax was a little teary as he really wanted a sister, but we are so excited. Baby no. 3 will be here in August. 18 weeks and still sick in the mornings but I seem to be getting better each day.

Tavins birthday was great. He wanted all soccer and thanks to Natalie's amazing cake skills the cake was a hit and my mom had found killer deal on plates and cups!! We had a few friends and family over. He got spoiled rotten as usual. He was so excited about his Spiderman slippers. It was hilarious. He loves sports so much right now and anything his big brother is doing. He makes us laugh all the time because he is so matter of fact about everything. He loves to play outside, and I couldn't love his long eye lashes, sweet kisses, his snuggles in the morning and when he asks kyle or I to "Hold You" melts my heart every time! I feel so blessed to be his mom and to have him in our family.

Jazz Basketball

Jaxon just got done with his Jr. Jazz basketball league. He did awesome!! He is such a good little player and it is so fun to see him learning and getting to be such a great basketball player. Kyle was one of the coaches too which is so fun. These pictures were taken by Tavin by the way :)

Missing TOOTH!!

Look at this cute boy!! That is right he lost his other top tooth and wow was he so excited about it. I had been calling him snaggle tooth because the tooth was just hanging there so he took it upon himself (because I CANNOT) and pulled it out. He was so happy about it too. Another sign he is just growing up way too fast!! LOVE IT.

Christmas!

We were lame in the Christmas photo area. We did get a shot of the matching PJ's. I can't believe another Christmas has come and gone. Look sisters... Still going strong with the blogging!!

New Years Resolution

WHEW!! So Tavin will be 4 next month and that is around when I last posted anything. I made a New Years Resolution with my sisters/sis in laws that live far away that I would make a valiant effort to post more so they can feel more apart of what is going on. I will do my best. For now here is a little rewind on what has been going on in our lives. It goes from the most present (minus Christmas... those will be coming) to this last summer. Love you all and hope you had a wonderful Holiday and a New year...

Here we go, latest Family Pics.
First Big Idaho Snow storm. The boys had the neighbor kiddos and dads all over to help construct these beauties. They had such a blast and topped it off with some hot chocolate.

I took a flag football team to Tempe Arizona to compete in the Regional Tournament. They did awesome!! To top off the trip I got to spend some time with Kirby and Scott which I love.

She looks so cute. She is due the beginning of Feb. and look so cute. Can't wait to meet this new little guy!!

I wish she lived closer!! We had such a great time! All I wanted to do was sit in the sun. I came from winter wonderland to mid 70's. She was freezing and I was on the porch soaking it all in.

I ran in my first BUT NOT LAST 1/2 Marathon in Boise. What an amazing experience. It was so hard. We had no idea of the hills that were involved. We were standing in line to go to the bathroom before we went and we got chatting with a few guys who were seasoned runners... They asked us how many races we had done and we were like... Um this is our first one... They then went on to ask WHY WE HAD PICKED THIS ONE!!! We were dying. They continues to talk about Big Bertha one of the hills and "Good Luck." There was no going back but we were a little nervous! Either way... I did it!!! not to mention with the greatest friend who we have been through so much together. I wouldn't have picked another person to do it with. Thanks Alish. for another memory in our forever book!!

This was right after we were done.

These were taken right before!!!

Halloween. Tav is Spiderman and Jax is the Hulk. Jaxon wanted to be a baseball player forever and then my Dad asked him one day what he wanted to be and he didn't skip a beat and said "The Hulk" thank goodness for Target and a mom who will get whatever these little guys want to be even if it is to make a pickle costume. They were darling and had a great time.

Tavin's New Little Pre-School Group! They are so much fun and he thinks he is so big to have his own School!!

Another Soccer Season. They both are such great little athletes and love it so much. Yes I am still coaching and loving every minute of it. (Most of the time.)

1st Day of School. Sorry a little out of order but this is my 1st grader! He loves school so much and is so smart.

Blackfoot Fair with Little Miss Tegan. This is my niece who had cancer last year. She is doing so great and it has been so much fun to see her be a little girl again. We took the little munchkins to the Fair and they had a blast.

Williams Family Reunion in Snake River! We ate, played games, horseback riding, slept in tents, laughed, night games, ate some more. Thanks D and T and crew for putting it together. It was perfect.

Bracken... Kyle's youngest brother came home from his mission!! We missed him so much and it has been such a blast having him home. He is attending Idaho State right now too which we love having him close. He is such a great example and the boys idolize him.

Random pic of the boys making cookies. They are such great helpers.

MARYLAND FOR WHITNEYS WEDDING. The boys so tired from all the festivities. We did so much while we were there in August. From Baseball games, shopping, DC sites, Charlotte for the wedding, Manis and Pedis with the girls, late night, fun food, Amusement Parks, amazing Company, and lots of memories... It was AMAZING.

Tav all dressed up for a play they put on. It was hilarious.

Baseball batting cages. Kyle and Tyson took the kids to play miniature golf, batting cages and just fun boy time. They loved it.

Chucky Cheese. The kids LOVE IT!

Nationals Baseball game.

Whitney and Trey's wedding in August. It was in Charlotte and we had a blast there and the wedding was beautiful!

The beautiful Bride!

Tav getting his dance on with his cousin. They were so adorable ALL NIGHT!!

The family of the bride. It was so fun to be all together.

Happy 3 years Tav!!

Where does the time go? I know I am the worst blogger and Kirb. I am so sorry because I know you love to see pics. of the kiddos so I will try and do better. This is Tavin's 3 year old birthday party. He was so sweet and so excited. Can you believe I have a 3 year old. Jax is going to be 7 this year. Time goes way too fast!! For Tav's birthday, we had a few friends and family come. Thanks to all the adults who helped and Jax. and Brev. for being the Officials. Things I love about Tav., he has so much energy and loves any and everything his big brother is doing. His Birthday theme was sports, because that is what he loves. He got a DS from my side of the family so he is loving once again keeping up with Jax. He can play video games better than I can. (I know that is not saying much) I love his long eye lashes and how he still wants to be held and snuggled. I mostly love being his mom and being blessed enough to be apart of all his sweetness.

My neice Evie playing a little Baggo in our sport rotation. She loved this one!!

Skye and Wyatt playing on our minature golf course. (Brevin and Jax were there as officials. They were such great helpers)

Tavin and Kes. so happy together :)

The Great Presents of course. the fun part.
