Sprucing Up My Walls

I decided that I needed some excitement on my dining room walls. Sean had taken the above picture of Gavin, which inspired me to take some of the other boys. I made them into 11x14's and sent them off to Sam's tonight. For a whopping $9.87, I can have new "art" in my dining room.

Happy Birthday Gavin!

Gavin celebrated his 1st birthday yesterday. I can't believe it's been a year already. How incredibly fast time goes by! We had a small family party at our house. Gavin wasn't feeling great and was a little whiney and sad, but did enjoy playing with new toys and eating cake. He got lots of fun things!

Happy Birthday Gavi boy! I love you to pieces! So very thankful for your sweet spirit in our family!

Canyon Eagle Shirts

I decided to make Canyon Eagle shirts for us since there are no shirts out there for boys (and even if there are, they don't come small enough to fit my little ones). I created the image in Photoshop and then printed them out on iron-on paper. The boys each have their name on their sleeve (I refrained from putting one on mine, but I did give some thought to the possiblity and decided to let it go). I thought they turned out really cute. They didn't wash up very good as the white shirts bled and the gray shirts show the outline of the iron-on paper. These really were for Homecoming and served the purpose.

Brody and Gavin's 1st Day of School

Brody and Gavin had a great first day of school today. We were running a little bit late, which was a bummer on the first day, but made it there just fine. When I went to drop Brody off at his room, they were already lined up for chapel. I went in to put his stuff away and he kind of just lost it. I ended up walking to chapel with them and then the teacher took him from me. My friend Julianne said she would check on him when she dropped her children off. When she called later, she said Brody was fine, but Gavin was crying. Luckily she new that he needed his "owl" so she went and got it for him and he calmed right down. Both of their teachers said they had a great day!
