Snap Shots

Weeeell, the Easter Bunny came to visit!  He brought Griff this sweet new red truck and Griffin is in love with it!

Here he is also showing off  his truck and adorable new Easter suit.

We took the truck out for an afternoon spin.  He can't quite figure out how to Fred Flintstone it yet so Dad helped him cruise.  Notice the cup holders in the back, complete with a jug of chocolate milk.  What more could you ask for?

Our cruise led us to the park where Lukie aligned his shockers and worked on his latest Yoga moves.  He's concentrating so hard his little tongue popped right out!  He's got some serious core muscles.

Luke didn't get the luxury of riding in the new red truck so he was happy to roll in the stroller.

So, on to some random snippity snaps of the South boys.

Lately with the nicer weather we have been taking lots of walks in the morning.  How cute are these boys in their hats?

So what if Griffin was still in his reindeer Jammies?  Big deal.  He really hates wearing normal clothes and begs to put his jammies back on each morning after I change his diaper. 

And here is Luke again, working it!

No real caption for this photo.  I just got a new iPhone and I love being able to take pictures of the boys so quickly all the time.  I have loved capturing the everyday moments like this!

Oh Boy...

Griffin's Latest:  Most days I can find Griff hiding either in the corner or behind the couch.  When I ask him what he's doing he says, "I'm hidin' and poopin."  So I say, "ok, are you done?  Can I change your diaper?"  To which he replies, "Nope, still workin' on it."

Luke's Latest:  He has his two lower teeth.

He went from doing the plank to pulling himself up on everything!

His newest trick is that he loves to clap.  I taught him how and he perfected it pretty quickly.  Now when I try to teach him something new (waving, lifting his hands above his head) he claps.  And claps.  And claps.  So at least he's got that down.

He's STILL not sleeping through the night. For real. Boo.  He is dog tired by 7:00 p.m. so I put him to bed and he goes anywhere from 8-10 hours and wakes up.  So that sounds pretty good except that 8 hours puts us up at 3 and then he's up and awake for the day at 5:45.  Somethings gotta change, soon. 

Other than that, Life is pretty freaking wonderful!

Mad Marchness

So apparently I've been so busy enjoying my new family room that I haven't taken the time to blog! Haha! Oh, how I wish that were true. Nevertheless, here be an update on the South house!

My dear friend Renee came to visit us and brought us some Easter Grass. We had so much fun watering it, petting it (as you can see below) watching it grow and giving it haircuts!

Luke was introduced to grass also... This kind is not soft and still dead from the winter. This was his first encounter. Although this picture makes it look like he is enjoying himself, he is much happier on a blanket on top of the grass. He crawls from one side of the blanket and as soon as he gets to the grass he turns around and crawls back. He always stays on the blanket and just does circles.

Griff and Dad playing with some sort of wonderful app on dad's phone. Doesn't Griffin look intrigued?

Luke army crawls like a mad man. He is super fast and goes straight for the dog food every time we put him down.

Griff still doesn't eat, but somehow I got him to eat a little bit of this muffin after he helped me stir them up.

We gave the boys their first bath together. This was a little scary for Luke and for me. But they both made it out alive and clean! Yay!




Marc and I went away for the first time leaving our boys with Cortney for TWO Whole Nights! A grand time was had by all. We went up Ogden Canyon and stayed at Wolf Creek. It was lovely. We enjoyed a morning jog (well, I enjoyed it, Marc got into some cockle burrs when he was off in the bushes, which was not so enjoyable) sitting in the hot tub, eating at unique & yummy restaurants, taking a nap, and seeing the Hunger Games.

We also visited a Monastery in Huntsville and got to hear the Monks chant. It was pretty awesome. We just went there for something to do. It was cool. I don't know why but I was surprised that they chanted in English. I mean, it makes sense, we are in Utah. I just thought it would be jibberish or something (I'm obviously ignorant when it comes to Monks and chanting.) They were chanting prayers and they were beautiful.







Since we didn't take any other pictures of our weekend, we pulled off the side of the road and took a picture of this waterfall.

Oh and one of us.

Oh, and I chopped my hair off this month. Apparently turning 30 wigged me all out and so I cut my hair because I wanted to look way older than I am. That's what I feel like this haircut has done for me anyway. Those crows feet around my eyes aren't helping me out either.

Oh, and the boys had a blast at Cort's. They played outside, went for a walk, Luke ate some dirt, Luke barfed up some dirt, yada yada, and they didn't even miss us!

My mom treated my sisters and I to Xanadu at the Hale Center Theatre. It was HILARIOUS! If you have seen the movie, it is terrible! Seriously, bad! But great to make fun of, which is what they did in this musical. My mom, sisters and I laughed until we cried (and maybe peed a little) it was that funny! I highly recommend it! I watched the movie on Netflix a few weeks before just to refresh my memory. So if you've seen Xanadu or you love the 80's or you love Olivia Newton John, or you love leg warmers and roller skates, or you love Greek Mythology, or you love boys in super short shorts go watch the movie and then go see the play. You won't regret it!

Always a good time with my favorite ladies! Thanks mom!

So there you have it. An update with pictures! Tada!
