The first half is joyous because it is my birthday!! And I am one of those people who NEVER get tired of birthdays, never, never, never! Normally I celebrate it for quite some time but I got such a good birthday present this year that I decided to not drag it out :). This year I got to go away for two days of reading and relaxation by myself followed by two days of just me and Clay. I missed the boys terribly but having dinner with my brother and almost sister-in-law helped and not to mention the entire day at a spa...
So we divided the boys up Wyatt stayed with Tammy B. and Gavin stayed with Uncle Dave and 'Pril. Gavin had so much fun I'm pretty positive he didn't miss us a bit.
This year the onset of tax season was made a little more difficult because Clay went on my brother's epic bachelor party/vacation. I would bet that most bachelor parties don't last 4 days but leave it to my brother to stretch it out as far as possible. So I had to get creative in how to entertain the boys by myself over the weekend. Thankfully a friend reminded me about the Tunes for Tots so I strapped Wyatt in the baby carrier and tried to hold on to Gavin. I wish I could have taken more pictures, it was nearly impossible with Wyatt and the crowd, Gavin was so cute trying to play all of those brass instruments. He kept putting the mouthpiece inside his mouth and neither the instructor or I could seem to explain to him in a way that he understood to put it on the outside of your mouth. It was really funny but I guess you had to be there.... :)
I feel like we must have done something the rest of the month but I sure can't remember what it was if we did. I do know that we played a lot at home so maybe we didn't....it was pretty rainy and cold. Anyway here are some pictures from the month.
Wyatt is a bouncing machine!! Look at those chunky thighs, just love them!
Clay brought Gavin and I back hats from the bachelor trip to the mountains, aren't we cute.
Wyatt sure was glad to see his Daddy!
We go through more Amazon, Luvs, and Pampers boxes than I can even count so one afternoon I had the bright idea that Gavin and Clay make "cars" out of them, they could use the Pampers for Wyatt and a big Amazon one for Gavin. I just figured that Clay and Gavin could decorate them and it would keep Gavin entertained and out of everything else. Well I should have known that Clay couldn't be happy with a handful of crayons/markers. He had to go all out and actually cut the boxes to look like cars, well of course that meant Gavin couldn't help but it's pointless to try and stop the creative genius once he gets going :). Gavin and Wyatt did have fun with them though.
Poor Wyatt, those teeth are giving him a fit!
Just one more example of how creative Clay is. This is from the "snow" day that the boys had from school on the 30th.
