4!

My little Easton is 4! How did that happen?? To celebrate, we had a birthday party w/his buddy Landon. We had lots of friends and some family that we were lucky enough to have come! It was a lot fun!

We got an Iron Man pinata. Easton was pretty excited about it and after the party was over he kept asking where it was. I guess he got distracted w/what happened to it once he saw all the candy.

Amber and I made super hero capes for all the kids. Easton LOVES his!

Donovan really likes his, too. He was just ready for bed.

Easton got a total of four monster trucks for his birthday and he couldn't have been happier! He's been in love w/them ever since Jonny took him to the Monster Jam show a few months ago.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE PRESENTS AND COMING TO THE PARTY TO CELEBRATE OUR LITTLE STUD!!!

Since the day of the party wasn't his actual bday, we gave him his presents from us the next day. He was SOO excited to get El Toro Loco (Monster Truck).

Opening "little Mac". He's been asking for this one since he saw his friends at a super bowl party.

And Donovan wasn't super interested in Easton's presents. Haha. I love that he was sitting here just like Jonny. So funny!

Hair Cut

Donovan definitely was in need of a hair cut. I've been so scared to mess it up that I've put it off but I finally decided to just do it. It was his first one.

He looks like a little boy now and not a baby! It makes me so sad to think how fast he's grown up!!

Thanks SOOOO much, Mom!!!

I have to give a HUGE shout-out to my mom! She came up and stayed w/us for a few weeks to "help" me reupholster our couch and loveseat. (And by 'help' I mean I sat and talked to her while she did all the work). But she did an awesome job and we love them! I still have to redo the pillows so we're not completely done yet, but I thought I better show off my mom's handy work before they're all stained up. I forgot to take pics before she redid them so I found some old ones so you can kind of get the idea.

Thanks, Mom!! It was so fun having you here and we really appreciate the work you did!!!!

1!

Baby D is one! Our family came into town last weekend to celebrate his birthday and it was so fun to have them here! Donovan was so happy and loved having so many people around. He loved his cupcake and his presents. Thanks fam for coming and helping us celebrate!!

as per chanel's request...

New pics!! Seriously it's been a while, eh?? So this post is FULL of random pics from the last two months.

I went and visited my mom last month and Easton was supposed to be sleeping in my mom's room and came out like this. Makeup on the eyes and chocolate on the face.


And we got this walker from one of my mom's friends while we were there. Donovan LOVED it!!



Two brothers relaxing at grandma's house.


Jonny and my dad made a book shelf for our play room. Easton thought it'd make a good place to take a nap.

Jonny built the boys this sweet fort. He was just trying to one-up the one I made that was about 1/6 of the size.

Easton in the fort.

Our fantasic friends were awesome enough to take us along on their annual family Easter egg hunt. They had this sweet tractor that Easton loved!

And this even sweeter wagon that they both adored!!

Then later we went to the Durrant's house for some egg dying.

Enjoying some ice cream...

...and french fries.

JENNIE came into town w/Tori last week and we stopped by the temple.

Easton loved these 3D glasses Aunt Jennie let him borrow.

...did I catch a "niner" in there???

Donovan's 9 months old now! I can't believe it! I know everyone says that about their kids no matter how old they are, but seriously! Part of me feels like it was just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital and the other part can't believe that there was a time when he wasn't part of our family yet. We had my friend Mandie take some pics. Thanks, Mandie!

[In case you're wondering, I had to make them all black and white because Donovan apparently eats too many yellowish foods and it has made his skin look yellow in bright lights].

Too excited not to share...

One of the designs I made for my fam's etsy shop was featured on the Etsy Storque today (along w/other cool wedding stuff)!!! I seriously am SO excited that I had to share it! (I mean, I can only tell Jonny so many times). Go here if you want to see the full article. This is the design they featured.
