Grandma and Grandpa Time

My parents came down from Montana for a visit 2 weeks ago. As always, the boys loved all of the attention and cute little Liam got to be held all day long. We had such a fun time and can't wait for them to visit again soon.

My Funny Valentines

The boys were pretty excited about Valentine's Day. The morning started off with our annual red and pink breakfast. This year they had heart shaped toast, pink and white yogurt and strawberry milk, served using pink and red plates and cups. In the evening, we watched some home videos of the boys when they were babies, followed by a special valentine scavenger hunt. Before bed, they decorated heart shaped cookies and headed to their room to sleep off their sugar highs.

Digging for Dinosaurs

Miles and Tate love Dinosaurs, and Miles has become increasingly disappointed that he has not had a chance to dig up any dinosaur bones. So, when they requested the opportunity to go out in our front yard and look for dinosaur bones, my husband was particularly accommodating. He pulled out a snow shovel and a garden shovel and let them dig up our yard. Of course, they had a blast! Hopefully, Scott will have equally as much fun when he has to reconstruct our lawn come spring.:)

Brother's Day

So after last Mother's Day and Father's Day, Miles asked me when Brother's Day was, and a new tradition was born. A few weekends ago, we celebrated our first official Brother's Day. It started with breakfast in bed for the boys. The boys each got a couple of very small presents, since we did just have Christmas. (On a small tangent, note the beautiful lilies in the picture that my husband sent me.)

Anyway, we then headed to the dinosaur museum, their favorite place in the world. They got to have McDonalds for dinner and then a movie night with Aunt Heidi and Uncle Cory. Such a fun ending to a perfect day!

Endlessly Entertaining

Fun With Dad

One of my favorite things is to watch Scott with the boys. He is such a great dad. The boys all light up when he gets home and they have such a blast together.

Here are all of the dudes watching a football game together:
