Sean Turns TWO!

My little man is 2 years old! When I went and got him outta bed and started singing Happy Birthday he said "no mom. Stop!" Guess he's not the only one that doesn't want to grow up! But he was fine with my parents singing happy birthday to him via Facetime.

Candles in his panCAKE! :)

He loved it! After he blew them out he asked to do it again.

I didn't really want the stress of a party this year and I figured he's two he doesn't really understand birthdays yet so I decided we should take a family trip to the zoo! We did invite some friends but none of them could make it so it was just us. SO fun. 

Penguins

The Penguins kinda freaked him out. seeing them swim so close but not being able to get him. Something freaked him out and he wanted me to hold him or stand close to Dad. He still did enjoy them though.

 (Bufflo eat food. grass) He was very impressed by the buffalo watching this one eat. We even saw a baby muskox which he thought was fantastic!

BEARS

 These baby bears were crazy! Running around, jumping on each other and splashing in the water. It was so entertaining. Sean loved it! We stayed here for well over a half hour just watching these cubs go to town!

It had been raining the day before and was a bit overcast the day we went which made it perfect! It wasn't too hot and there were hardly any people! Beauty!

Sean of course had to splash in the puddles.

And chase the geese that were every where. 

Geese are kinda scary. Especially when they are close to the size of your kid and start following them or hissing. Evil birds.

Had to get some Icecream of course! Special Birthday Boy!

Playing at the park in the zoo.

It was such a fun day! Sean and Max both had fun. Max just chilling in the stroller and cooing away. The only area we didn't make it into was the dinosaur exhibit. Go figure. With this kid that loves dinos lately. Oh well. Next time! 

After the zoo we ran over to Whitney and Colin's house and crashed on their Friday. Ate some pizza and let the kids play and visited with them. So fun. Daniel wanted to stop by His aunt and uncles newly done place but they weren't home. Next time. 

It was such a fun day! Sean had a blast!

I baked him a cake on Saturday and of course Sean had to help out. 

 It turned out pretty fantastic if I say so myself.

The Circus just happened to come to town this weekend so I got us the tickets and we went to the show! It was raining inside the tent because of all the holes. It was a good show. A little nerve racking with the balance guy on the chairs. He almost slipped a couple of times. As he was climbing up Sean kept saying, "Don't fall. Don't Fall" super cute kid. He was worried during that performance. Everything else was good and the rain didn't affect to much. 

A minion showed up and you could have your picture taken with him. I kinda just sneaked this one.

After the circus we made dinner and then FINALLY ate Sean's birthday cake. MORE CANDLES! haha this kid loved them. and his cake.

 He loved blowing out the candles. Which we had to do twice as well. Hey He's two. It makes sense. :)

Mmmm. Good

Max Really wanted the cake

I mean really wanted it. He got some icing on his hand. Silly kid and just giggled. 

Apparently we don't use forks anymore. We eat like dinosaurs or something. 

It was such a fun weekend. I know I was completely exhausted and I'm still recovering from all the fun. What a way to celebrate being 2!

3 months already??

Man. They say time flies by. But it seems like it is super sonic speed this time around!
I am soaking up every minute I can with my kiddos but it's hard to believe it's been three months already being a Mother of two.

Too fast! But I love every minute with these kiddos.

Max
14lbs. He is actually starting to look like a chunker. Unless he is next to his cousin Mallory. Then he just looks like a string bean!

Sleeping 8-10 hours a night! Woot! What a champ! Love him! Took him a little longer to get there but I'm loving every minute of it! I remember just over a month ago when he was still sleeping at night with no real rhyme or reason and We were getting up with him at about 2 or 3 in the morning. Daniel was whinning about how this kid would never sleep through the night because he was only getting a bottle and not a boob. And that nursing made all the difference with the boys. He was convinced he would never get a full nights sleep again. haha Well now he does. What a lucky man. hahahaha

He's attempting to roll over now as well. He also has this bald spot on the back of his head that looks like a yamika (the jewish cap) thats from all the scooting he does on his back now and wiggling. Man is this kid a wiggler!

likes his car seat now and sleeps in it most the time when we drive anywhere. Thats pretty nice. This kid just loves to catnap anywhere really. On a walk in the stroller, when I carry him in the Ergo. But he really loves his naps in bed. Super happy baby when he wakes up!

giggles and laughs now too. And I finally caught some of it on video! not the deep gut laugh he's given us a few times but its' still cute none the less!

Sean:

My little boy is 2 on Friday! I still have a hard time wrapping my head around that. He's really the sweetest kid ever!

I love all the hugs and kisses he gives me freely. I love how he blows me kisses at night when I tuck him into bed. I love how he says Daddy's home when Daniel comes in the door and Sean goes running. I love how he just adores his little brother!

I love when he grabs my finger and says lets go! and runs with me. Oh his little chubby hand in mine. My favorite thing!

He is talking so much. Putting new words together all the time! He's actually turning into a human being! Opinionated and knows what he wants! I'll try to take some photos of him later! haha He's too busy to smile for me anymore! But heres what I have just from my phone and such.

LOVE THESE BOYS!!!

A Weekend Trip!

Tycy's baby's blessing was this last weekend and I decided to roadtrip it down with my parents and have some fun! We left friday and made it to Tycy's in time to make dinner and eat it. The best! :)

Shortly after we took off to the cabin to put my kids to sleep and get some sleep ourselves. Man how I love Tony and Sassa's cabin down there. So wonderful and relaxing. We spent Saturday with Tycy and Family and went to the duck park and I took some family pictures for them and the kids chased the ducks. quite the adventure for them. Sean of course did not want to leave and Max slept through it all. :) Babies...

Costco for a late lunch and some shopping. Then my parents and I went back to the cabin and played some games.

That night not so relaxing. Sean was in bed by 8:15and Max went to sleep about 10:30. Pretty standard for them. After I finished my night rituals it was about 11:30. At 1:00 I woke up to Max. Not to normal for him to wake up that soon but hey he's a baby. I fed him and he was out by 1;30. Went to bed my self and then found my self waking up at 2:00 to Sean crying and talking in his sleep. I went in and cuddled him and got back to bed 2:45. 3:30 came and Sean was awake but talking to himself. I listened to him for a while and just tried to ignore him but it was kinda hard when he kept calling me. Mama! Mama! MAMA! So instead of letting him wake up Max I went and got him and just pulled him into bed with me. For the next 30 mins he cuddled me and i thought he was asleep so I was just about to drift off myself when he started talking about Shrek, Donkey, Dragon and Pincess Fiona. WHAT? haha that kid watches that show too much I think. He serenaded me with stories about Shrek until 5:00. I couldn't take it by that point and just put him back in his room with a bottle. He talked a little after that but at least he was quiet and I was able to ignore him and go back to sleep. Then before I knew it, it was 6:00 and Max was awake. I gave up on trying to go back to sleep after that. I figured it would be pointless.

We got ready and out the door just after 8;00 to go to the baby blessing. We just stayed for Sacrament and then headed back to the cabin to clean up. Got back in time to Tycy's for some lunch! OH FOOD! and then the men played poker. Tycy slept, Grandma watched the kiddos and I attempted to sleep with Sean poking me every 5 mins saying mama wake up! Eventually I did manage to sneak off and get an hour nap in Tycy's bed before we headed back home.

It was a good trip. The best part was watching all these little cousins play together! Man they are fun!
