Two Months

Can you believe this little guy is two months already? Oh he is so sweet and smiley!
This is Crew at exactly the same age. Pretty similar eh?
I am very excited that Graham has been introduced to the Bumbo and loves it! It is so nice to not have to wait quite so long to do the dishes or fix a choo choo track! Graham, much like Crew, loves sitting up and looking around and I can't help but laugh every time I see him in there.

My little poser
Crew, same age, same Bumbo. Just smaller cheeks!
My big poser! Handsome boy!
Reminds me of his parents at this age. I'm not sure who liked posing for the camera more, me or Matt!

Cody

So, remember the sneak peak of the pictures our friend Cody took? Well, here are just a few, okay a lot, of my favorites from his photo shoot with my boys! He did such a great job it was hard even to narrow it down to these ones I posted. Love, love, love these sweet faces!









Thank you so much Cody for capturing these fun stages on film! Wish ya could have gotten a good one! :)

Arizona

Over President's Day weekend, we drove over to Arizona for Matt's grandma's 90th birthday party. It was a great trip. Here is Matt's sweet grandma, or nonny as the family calls her. Her cake says 29 because she is still at least that young at heart!
It was a great party and I think Nonny really enjoyed having all her family there to celebrate. This is Matt and his sister Jeni with Nonny.
More pictures from the trip, I love this picture of Graham with Matt's dad. Graham was named after two Davids: my grandpa Drake, who passed away when I was in 8th Grade, and Matt's dad. Two amazing Davids! It is something special to be in the arms of someone you are named after. I would not mind if Graham turned out just like him! Among the highlights of the trip, picking oranges with the cows. Yes, they eat the oranges peel and all. They like grapefruit too.
Crew was still a little nervous around the cows but he did help pick oranges when they weren't around.
It was so fun to have all of Matt's family home and for everyone to meet Graham. I don't think I held him the entire weekend! It was great to have all the help and a really big accomplishment to have Katherine hold him! He loved her!
Chloe was a big helper too.
Monday we went to Mesa for a few hours to see my parents.

I love being home in the winter because my dad's yard is gorgeous and there is so much to do outside. Crew loved it all. Planting tomatoe plants with grandpa
. Shooting water guns with grandma
Check out his moves Oh, and grandpa's famous chocolate shakes
mmmmm
Even Graham got a sip, well, not really unless you count it through me! And true to any visit with my parents, lots of great pictures.




It was great to be in warm sunny Arizona and we loved spending the weekend with family!

Blessing Weekend

Look at this sweet boy! I wish I could post pics of him daily! I will try and catch up over the next couple days but we did bless Graham February 7 and had a wonderful weekend!

My family all came out Friday night and Saturday morning. We had such big plans but it was totally raining and cold! So plan B was the California Science Center downtown by USC's main campus. Crew was very excited to have Christian out to visit again.
The boys loved running around and being together
Outside the Colosseum Christian's birthday was on the 11th so we did a little celebrating for him too. Happy birthday boy!
That night Dave and Becky got there and we all went to the FairOaks Pharmacy for ice cream
Christian bonding with his new nephew
love those cheeks
Grandpa and Matson (his doggie), life is good
The next day was Graham's big day. He didn't sleep great the night before but that may have helped him sleep through the entire blessing. He was perfect, a little angel straight from heaven! Matt gave a beautiful blessing and we could not have asked for a better day!
Group shots from the day


Thank you to everyone who came out to be with us on Graham's special day! We love these boys!
A great Crew moment: Crew was sitting on the kitchen floor when I closed the door behind our last guest Sunday afternoon. I turned around and he said to me "Mom, my truck is broken, I want to watch Cars and I am hungry. Those are my problems." Ha! Thank goodness I could fix these problems!
