Hayden or Gavin??

So...what's your guess...is this Hayden or Gavin?
If you thought the first picture was Hayden and the second one was Gavin then you guessed right! Mike showed me that picture of Hayden and at a quick glance I thought it was Gavin...it's CRAZY how much both boys look alike! I don't know if it's because I grew up with mostly sisters or if it's because I was around so many girls with dance, or if it's because I like the color pink so much but I always just imagined me with girls...not boys. But, hot wheels and helicopters are just as much fun as dress up and tea parties right? It won't be long before Mike and I are attending thousands of soccer, baseball, or basketball games :)
Here is princess Maggie...our little baby sitter :) As most of you know, Maggie here can't (or should I say won't) jump up on the couch so she likes to put her paws up and grab the blankets with her mouth and pulls them onto the floor so she can lay on them. I can't tell you how many times I've had to get off the couch and get Maggie her own blanket because she is always trying to take mine. Well, the other day Mike walked into the living room and found Maggie pulling the blanket off of Gavin while he was in his swing. That little turd! That's why I called her the little baby sitter...because she'll watch Gavin alright, she'll watch him cry when she has his blanket and he doesn't :)

Lazy days...

Wow...where does time go? I was looking through some pictures this morning and came across the date on this one and I couldn't believe it's been almost a year because it seems just like yesterday that we took this picture. Last night (as I sat on the couch doing nothing as usual) I was thinking that I haven't done anything productive today. I was still in my p.j's, haven't taken a shower and I don't even think I brushed my hair today :( Then I started thinking about all the stuff I haven't done this week. I did some laundry, washed a few dishes, changed a lot of diapers, took care of Gavin, but nothing too exciting. After awhile I decided to just go to bed. This morning I woke up with a totally different attitude. After looking at this picture I was thinking about all the stuff Mike and I have accomplished this past year. We both had a tough semester, continued working full time plus some, we both moved, got married, bought a car, had a baby, and now back to work and school. After realizing all the stuff we have done this past year I don't feel bad about having a few lazy days :) So...here's to lazy days! We all deserve them, we all need them, and we all have them!

P.S. I am going to shower and change my clothes today :)

Update...

Mike, Jenni and Gavin on Sunday, June 1st. We all went and saw Julie and Sheldon bless their son Crew. After the blessing we had a BBQ. It was nice spending time with family and friends on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon!

Mom and Gavin hanging out. I'm not sure what face he is making, but I think he did something in his pants :)
Here is dad and Gavin keeping cool inside.

Here is Gavin only 17 days old. Boy he is changing fast! I'm not sure what I ate, but something upset his tummy and it has been a hard couple of days ! I felt so bad for our little man so I bought him a piggy wrist rattle to cheer him up :) Today he is feeling much better. I'm also feeling a lot better because Mike watched Gavin in the other room all night so I could actually get more than 2 hours of sleep. It was the first time in over 5 months that I slept the whole night...and it felt GREAT!! Thanks Mike!

HAYDEN!

On Sunday Mike drove back to Utah with my dad to spend a few days with Hayden. They had so much fun! They went to the zoo, dinosaur museum, bumper boats, race car track, played at the park and jumped on the tramp. He is such a fun little boy :) Mike can't believe how fast he is growing up...we love you Hayden! Hugs and kisses, Love Dad and Jen

Hair Cuts!

Buddy, Maggie and Jace all got hair cuts :) I don't have an after picture of Jace or Maggie but they are cute! It's been a change for all of them sharing the attention with Gavin, but overall I think they are adjusting well. Every time Gavin cries all three of them run over to see what's going on. Jace is my little watch dog...he doesn't let me or Gavin out of his sight. He will jump up on the chair and look over at Gavin sleeping in his pack-in-play. Buddy can't wait for Gavin to get a little bigger so he has someone to play with.
