Almost 6 months old!

My little truck is growing, growing, growing.  He loves to move, loves to interact with people, loves to be held, loves to jump, loves to be entertained by big brother Drew (no one else can get him to laugh as hard as D can :), loves to sleep, and We Love Him!!!

Love the rolls :)

He loves to roll around the house :) He got himself stuck under the piano bench

Got the high chair set up- he's loving his baby cereal so far!

Starting to sit up better... still have a ways to go, but he's getting there :)

We Love You Mack!

Heros! ..... or dancers... whatever, really :)

Here are the little super heros in action:

Trying to get Grant to look like a super-hero rather than a disco dancer was more work than it was worth... :)  Love these boys!

Happy Birthday Grant!

This little guy is three years old today.  Wow- it feels like he all of a sudden turned into a big boy.  He has spent his day saying repeatedly, "Happy Birthday Grant!" to himself.  Such a cutie/crack-up :)

His love for Thomas the Tank Engine is every so slowly fading-- but the love for Lightning McQueen and anything Cars related is still holding strong... as evidenced by his birthday loot:

See the Mater shirt in that pile?  I have a feeling it will become the new Thomas shirt-- hope it's made really sturdy!!

This sweet little Grant is so adorable, sweet, and silly.  We love him more every day! 

Happy Birthday Big Guy!!!

Lots of Updates and New Family photos

I have been MIA on my blog for quite some time... lots going on (including a traveling husband! He already has Costa Rica, Israel, Germany, and Jordan under his belt :) but I wanted to finally post a few new fun things:  So, feel free to keep scrolling down if you want to see more pictures of my cutie boys :)

A few weeks ago my friend Jamie offered to take our family pictures-- she got a new camera and wanted to get in some practice.  Of course we agreed!  She did a great job capturing our family and we love the pictures!

Thanks, Jamie!!!

The Middle Child

Who is not forgotten!  Oh, how I love my little G-man!  With Drew at school all day and a baby who still sleeps a ton, Grant and I get a lot of one on one time, and we love it.  His little personality is so sweet and determined at the same time.  He knows what he wants, but he is just so stinkin adorable in the way he goes about it.  We love him, his sweet little voice (if you want to hear him say 'kangaroos' -- so cute!--, click here), and his awesome personality!

One day he found my old HS graduation cap and a little cars box and said, "Mom! Look! My missionary things!"  I have no idea why he associated these with missionary things, but it was cute nonetheless :)

 Trying so hard to do a bridge like his big brother :)

 Sweet little face!!!

 I was making dinner, and Mack started to get a little fussy laying there on his blanket.  Before I knew it, Grant had brought a book over, sat down, and said, "I read you a story Baby Mack!"  It was adorable!

The Many Faces of Macky Boy

Our Mack is already 4.5 months old... don't want to talk about that.  Too fast!  Too fast.  But oh, so fun at the same time :)  He has really grown up and developed a little personality that is so sweet and tender. 

This little guy LOVES to be held.  And if he's not being held, he'd prefer to have someone right in his face talking to him and smiling at him.  He wants to be right in the thick of the action.

Or sleeping, which he does really well :)

And, one of my favorite features about him (other than his adorable smile and teenaged boy burps :) is his little neck fat roll-- seriously?  Have you seen something so cute on a baby's neck??  This picture doesn't even do it justice- this kid has got some rolls I tell ya:

And check out that double chin that's just been getting bigger since birth:  ( I love it! )

I know I've said this before, but it's true again: I can't stop kissing all these rolls all. the. time.  Seriously.  This poor kid probably wonders why he was sent to a home where his mother mauls him every second of every day ;)  Man, I just love him so much!

But really, he is such a good, happy baby and we're so blessed to have him here in our family!
