The Big 30

Friday was Travis' 30th Birthday! He took the day off and we went to the dinosaur park in Ogden. (Because when you have kids, you do things for them, not yourself...)

I made Travis a cake, even though he doesn't really like cake, and surprised him at work the day before his birthday. It looked great on the outside, but in reality, I forgot an ingredient and below is the image of what the cake really looked like. We decided to call it brownie cake.

I made Travis a dessert I know he likes for his actual birthday.

And I got to use my mother's day gift for the first time to display it. :)

This dessert is delicious. Recipe here: oreo trifle

You're welcome. 

Make sure you have a big party to take it to or you'll eat it all by yourself.

So, back to the dinosaur park. Sam had a good time.

He especially enjoyed the moving dinosaurs inside.

Tyler didn't really care as much...

  

Travis treated us to Jamba Juice for his birthday and Sam got his own drink.

Sometimes, this is the only way I get things done around the house. Tyler loves to be held.

Except for maybe by his brother. I think this is the first time Sam has really held Tyler though.

Dad got Sam his own little chair so he can sit outside with us. It's adorable.

We've also started trying to do movie night once a week. One day Sam will sit through a film.

Both boys have been sleeping with their legs out of the crib recently.

We spent an afternoon at the splash pad. Sam didn't even touch the water...

But we had fun all the same.

We're super excited for the summer weather. :)

We started working on the ABC's and it's so cute when Sam sings it.

Sometimes he'll just be playing with his toys and singing it to himself now. 

Month 3 for Tyler (Warning: LOTS of photos)

Tyler hit the 3 month mark today. I can't believe how much he's grown.

Although it's been a blur, I have enjoyed him. Not the same way that I got to enjoy Sam,

but I guess that's just how it is with kid #2. He looks less like Sam every day and is

already gaining his own personality. We are loving his smiles and working on getting

a laugh out of him. 

Travis and I finally made it to the temple to do some sealings. It had been a while.

Sam really loves to be a good helper, and this moment was just to precious not to capture.

He also LOVES the garbage truck. Just about anytime he hears something big outside he says that it's the garbage truck, even though I tell him it only comes to our house on Tuesdays.

Tyler is a champ at holding his head up now. (It took him longer than Sam, but I'm pretty sure his head is also bigger than Sam's was.) (Not that I'm comparing my children or anything...)

Travis had a 3 day conference down in Salt Lake a couple of weeks ago and I met him there one night so we could go on a date and get food from the food trucks that were provided for the conference. It was delicious and I'm only slightly disappointed that there was no waffle love to try.

We stayed with my parents for the week and Sam loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa.

So did Tyler. :)

Tyler also learned how to roll from back to stomach. 

JK. His older brother learned how to roll him over. 

This is what some days look like with a Toddler and a baby. :)

We once let Sam lick the frosting off the beaters, now anytime we use them,

he thinks they need to be licked.

Sam even likes to help with Tummy Time.

All of our kids are bound to be sun sneezers. 

I'm so thankful for this crazy life and these awesome boys in it. :)
