Merry Christmas Everyone!

 Santa arrived at the Reeve home and brightened the faces of all three children!

Brooklyn received her long awaited "pet" she has wanted for a very long time.  Three guppies: yellow, blue and orange.  Named Goldie, Gus and Nemo.

 Gavin got his remote control race car and Nerf gun, that has a clip for 35 darts (what was Santa thinking?!)

 This is how Noah rolls now, with item in mouth to leave his hands free to crawl and climb all over the place!

 Noah loves his lil' zoomer toy, plenty of lights and noise to keep him giggling!

 One of his fave Aunts Lexi, so cute!

 Some of the gang at Mom's:  Emily, Ry, Whit, Gav, Aunt Patty, Ash, and Alyssa

 The Woods, so glad to have them with us on Christmas:  Dennis, Penny, Emmy & Kelly
missing:  cute little Henry in his Santa suit!

 Alicia & Chris, with some exciting news! Baby on board! July 15th, yay!!!

 Noah doesn't love his santa hat.

Gavin getting REALLY tired after a long Christmas day.

Mom & Dad, still smiling after a hectic Christmas season!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

8 months already...what?!

Another month goes by just as quickly as the last, so what has Noah learned in his eighth month of life?

*first the inchworm/army crawl, then straight to crawling

*pulling himself up to everything including things that are less stable and incurring some battle wounds

*"mama" yes.. "Mama!!!" and "dada" ;)

*picking up his little puffs and putting them in his mouth

*decided he is a daddy-lover and cries every time he walks in the room, until daddy comes to play

*cut his first two bottom teeth

*doesn't know that he really loves Santa the real one and magical one as well ;)

*eats all kinds of baby food, still won't take a bottle

*weighs 19 lbs

*so happy pretty much all the time

*finally sleeping in his crib! YES!

Love this kid so much, such a good baby I can't get enough of his smiles, giggles, and kisses!

Diet soda=teeth brushing unnecessary

Gavin:  "Does diet [soda] have sugar in it?
Me: "no."
Gavin:  "what the...then you don't even have to brush your teeth!"

Then he goes on to tell Brooklyn that she needs to start drinking "diet" because of his new found knowledge.

Nothing Days

I love nothing days...so does Gavin.  In fact he is the one who came up with our new so-called "nothing day."  Even though I am trying to simplify our lives, it is really hard.  Between karate, piano, singing, preschool, homework, FHE, and so on it leaves little time for "nothing days."  Unfortunately there is not one day of the week that we don't have something scheduled on a weekly basis...sad. Today however, was supposed to be a "nothing day" for Gavin.  I told him it was.   He doesn't have preschool because they had their Christmas program yesterday.   Well, when I told him we had to go to Brooklyn's school this afternoon to listen to her Christmas program, he got so mad at me.  He told me he was so sick of going to her school and listening to her.  I asked him when had we been to her school lately to see her perform.  He yells "last year!!"  Silly me, I didn't even realize it had only been a year! So sorry to ruin your day little buddy, but we're going!! :)

Temple Square and a balmy 45 degrees!

It has been a long time since we visited Temple Square to see the lights, mostly because it is so busy during the holidays and Salt Lake is so crazy fighting construction and finding parking! However, we heard it was going to be warm and Spencer wanted to go up, so we did! The weather was sooo nice! This was the first time in a long time I remember being at the lights and it being warm enough to just hang out without trying to keep from freezing!

The Woods came with and Ash & Ty, Ry & Whit, and Mom & Dad & Alyssa!
