DIY star - Tyler!

I think that we have the next host of a DIY show on our hands! Tyler had an amazing time today
visiting the DIY show, Mega Dens, in Park City. The snow normally works out of the Atlanta area, but they are doing a special remodel in Park City this week, so it worked out perfect for us. When we first got there, the host, Anitra, just swooped Tyler up and introduced him to all the guys working and took him inside the house. He was in heaven! Everyone was so incredibly nice to us - the home owners, the Producers, Hosts, and camera guys. They took tons of pictures and even shot Tyler in a few videos. It was really cool to see how they actually do one of these shows. Anitra put Tyler to work and let him help with a few things on an entertainment center they were working on. He had a great time and they gave Tyler a piece of wood that the 3 hosts signed! Jason was able to come along and participate as well, but he was just not as into it (although he would have loved to help if they were doing demolition!) My parents also joined us for the adventure. It was a great day that Tyler will never forget and we cannot wait until this episode airs (later in the summer)!

For Sale

After much deliberation, we decided to put our house up for sale last month. We have talked about it a few times and decided that this is the right time for us to move. It has been on the market for about a month now and we have had some great activity but no offers yet. We are looking at building in Saratoga Springs, UT. It is very open and pretty down there. We will be very sad to leave this wonderful neighborhood and our dear friends, but are excited for a new adventure.

The boys are very excited and have asked that if we get a house with "two garages" if they can have one of them! Again... BIG BIG dreams :-) Tyler also thinks that he is going to build a house of his own on the lots next to ours.

ARGG Matey... Jason be 4

Jason turned 4 last week and we had a Pirate party for him. He invited some of his pirate mateys from preschool and they had a great time. We celebrated Jason's birthday 3 times, so he was very spoiled.

Jason's actual birthday morning.

Jason with the cake the Tyler made for him.

You have to look at these pictures in reverse. Jason was NOT happy about getting his picture taken but someone made him laugh in the next one. His mean face cracks us up!

The AWESOME pirate cake that my Mom made.

Cake, dancing and more....

It has only been two months since I have updated my blog! Here is what we have been up to:

Tyler made a pillow pet for Devin. He amazes me every day with his imagination! He also drives me CRAZY with all of the MESSES that he makes!

Poor Devin handcuffed to a table. This is what happens with there are only boys in the family.


Devin's first swim. The water was a little chilly but he enjoyed it.

Silly boys! I could not get this picture to turn the right way for the life of me.

Thumb sucking buddies.

Devin loves the bumbo.

Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub!

We can never throw away a card board box without making something fun out of it first! This is a motorhome! My boys have VERY big dreams :-)

Just chillin'

Tummy time with Devin.

Tyler and Jason just love Devin! They are so good with him and always want him near. I am sure that will change soon - once Devin is grabbing their toys.

Silly boys dancing on the counter while I make breakfast. (Mandy will appreciate this one :-)

Tyler the chef

Tyler made a cake while I was nursing Devin. He did a pretty good job - it was actually edible! Of course he had to decorate the cupcakes and take them to our neighbors! They are always getting random things on their doorsteps.

3 months later...

I have been horrible about keeping up with my blog; luckily I have been able to keep up with my house and kids! If anyone is still checking my blog, here are a few pictures of what we have been up to.

Devin is now 3 months old and the best baby I have had! He eats and sleeps great and is a very happy little guy. He can roll over every once in a while and enjoys watching the madness around him. He loves his brothers, and they love him. Jason is the one that gets a little rough and smothers, but they both do great. The hardest thing about having a baby again is working around a feeding schedule.

Tyler LOVES kindergarten! His teacher is amazing and does lots of neat things with the kids. Tyler is coming along with his reading and writing. He still loves to build things and he makes a bigger mess in the few hours he is home than Jason does all day long. He also enjoys drawing and painting.

Jason is our goofball. He does preschool once a week and has a great time. He always says that he does not want to go, but he loves it when he is there. He is in Sunbeams at church this year and also does really well there. In fact, his teachers tell us that he is one of the best behaved kids in there (we think they have him mixed up with some other kid!). Jason is still very much into pirates, swords, guns and anything violent! His latest is police gear, complete with handcuffs!

We blessed Devin at the beginning of February. It was nice to have so many family members able to attend.

Devin and his cousin Jaxon (3 months apart)

Jimmy got a free hotel room at the Waldorf in Park City through work, so we spent a few days up there. The boys had a blast in the pool and our room. They each had their own big screen tv and thought it was great to watch what they wanted to while eating popcorn and hot chocolate!

Tyler turned 6!!! WOW - how did that happen??? He wanted a friend party this year, so we had a camping themed party. It was lots of fun and Aunt Tiffy made the cutest sleeping bags out of felt for their goody bags. Since Tyler does not like cake, we had doughnuts instead.

All smiles

Visit from Grandma Bruck

Pirate boys

Jimmy took the boys to a monster truck show. He took Jason last year and they have both been asking to go again ever since.

Devin James

We have a beautiful baby boy! I was induced on the 22nd and everything went very well. Devin weighed 6 lbs 13 ozs and was 20 inches long. He has a thin layer of light brown/blonde hair. We still cannot decide who he looks like - he does not look like Tyler or Jason did when they were born.

Tyler and Jason are really cute with him. Jason still has a hard time remembering his name and wants to call him Jaxson like his new little cousin.
