what to wear

With summer comes summer wardrobe and accessories...

I had a version of this watch in high school, it has my name all over it. Check out here for all the other colors you can choose from.

This military jacket is wonderful. It is light so you can wear it through the summer and I love it's understated design and the color!

And of the boys I just got these swim trunks for Gav and/or Milo {etsy sizes are always a gamble}

Signs of Summer?

The weather is starting to let on that summer is here {though the forecast for this weekend looks more like mid November} We have taken every ounce of semi-warm weather to do something spring-y

Starting with the garden, leave it to
plants and new bio-degradable pots to
feel more, earthy, granola & green

There is something very pioneerish
about your baby napping outside in the shade.

Adventureland Park for...

a hot dog roast &

some fishing.

A little contest in casting...

I took second...yes!

We couldn't have a post about summer without this...

You turn on the sprinkler and no one will run through it. Classic!

Turns out it is more fun to just grab the sprinkler and squirt everyone.

2 cousins + 1 towel = cute picture

Some people had so much fun they couldn't stay awake

date night

We went out with my sisters and brother-in-laws... oh yeah and Millie's date. We had a blast!



{if you want a fun and cheap date idea after dinner draw names and go the the dollar store, we have made it a ritual}

if the dollar store isn't your thing you could always go with plan B...


Pictionary anyone?

as you can see we brought the kids along

thanks dalin and elisse for hosting & also for taking Gavin for the night!

vicarious living

If I can't have a daughter to match with at least I have a neice. {thankfully her mother has instilled in her the importance of cute shoes}


dempsey's shoes are baby gap.

park

Spring Fever is in full swing at my house.
What better way to spend it than at the park?

cute grandparents?

double trouble 2

I have mentioned before that when Dempsey and Milo get together they are less like cousins and more like partners in crime. case in point. Gavin got out of the bathtub {and didn't drain the water} and when I went in to drain it this is what I saw this...

followed by this

moral of the story is, drain the tub!

you're invited

I have not posted in a week because it is that time again. Beehive Bazaar starts tomorrow night, so my little hands have been crafting away. We have some new stuff I am really excited about. Tomorrow night should be fun {aka band, food and meeting all the artists.} I hope to see you there! Come and say hi!

random

When we told my Aunt that we were naming our second child Milo, she told us that on the eastern side of the world where she lives everyone drinks Milo, fast forward two years later when she came for a visit and the sweetheart that she is brought Milo some Milo.

Milo especially liked eating the Milo candy bar.

I don't do Birthday posts anymore because I have to many family members and I can't keep up but I did want to tell everyone that my darling sister Celeste is officially 16 today!!! And as a side note she already has two dates lined up for this weekend.

Another thing- If you are like me, you now are locked in to a nine year subscription to LUCKY due to the fact that all your favorite magazines shut down and they have transferred your subscription.
I have to say I was really liking last months fashion spread.

There is nothing I hate more than seeing a spread you LOVE and realizing you will have to go shopping to achieve any one look. I love when I can shop from my closet!

Seriously I think everyone can pull off these classic looks! See the full layout here.

7

Gavin is 7 today!

I am so thankful for this one he is such a blast. There aren't many 7 year olds that can keep up with adults, he is super funny and super smart. He asked for work gloves, goggles, and a journal for his birthday{oh so random} and when a friend asked him what he wanted, Gavin told him that he wanted a gift card so he could go shopping. {so my child} If you know him you love him and if you don't you probably should, cuz this kid is the best.

Milo

Milo got into my bag this morning, got out some of my lipstick and started putting it on me. As he was putting it on me he said "Mom, you look pretty, pretty, pretty. You look like Susan."

I guess Milo's idea of beauty is a 50 foot tall woman with silver hair.

recess, naps and walks

Milo cries everyday when Gavin leaves for school. And when I go down to help at the school, Milo feels right at home sitting with all the kids for carpet time or at a table to "help" with some activity. Friday was an extra special day though because he got to have recess with the kindergarten class too. How is he going to wait one more year for preschool?

Also I don't know why my children do this but they all have.

This is what August looks like when he awake

And this is what he looks like when he is asleep.

He can't fall asleep unless his face is covered.

Lastly-

Milo and Dempsey are officially Double Trouble. They were playing in the yard and decided to take a walk down to the park next to Tiffs house, the only thing is they didn't tell us and when we found them they were those two little dots you see by the playground.

spring

I don't like dandelions expect...

when two little boys pick them for me and bring them to me like this

Spring break '10

We spent a couple nights in our favorite weekend town Park City {it is far enough away that you feel like you are on vay cay but close enough that it is easy to get away}

The first night was some much needed C&R time {no photo's for that, sorry} the next day we met up with Chad's mom in SLC to get the boys and took them to the Church History Museum. If you have never taken the time to go there, DO IT! Chad had never been, so I took him and he was amazed at all the stuff they have there. Plus they have a great exhibit for kids upstairs.

For dinner we ate at The Lift & Lounge in PC, I highly recommend it.

Thanks Chad for the great holiday!

Easter part 2

These three are too cute not to post. This was after the Easter egg hunt at Grandpa Ray & Grandma Dear's house.

And look what I found when I was downloading my photos off my camera, funny girls.
