Lets Review

I am always reviewing as a mom.  We are always learning something and with young children review is key to that learning process.  There is a lot to teach the boys for school and life but this time lets just review our week! Shall we…..

002 006

Easton is doing his own caterpillar crawl all over the house still.

Bradley went to his first CAMP all week.  From 7:30-12:30 with our towns Parks & Recreation Department.  It was swimming, exercise and crafts indoors.  The last day (today) was all outside at the park for a cookout and kickball and stuff.  He loved it and as always they said “he is soooo good!” He is the type of child that is GREAT for everyone else but mommy and daddy. 

012 014 020

Bradley’s busy schedule didn’t keep him from being the fun big brother he is. 

026 030

Everyday Gavin said “Brawee at camp!” They love popcorn as a snack. 

034 037

We finally caught Gavin in action climbing out of his crib.  It is on the lowest possible setting but that doesn’t stop him.

038 039

By the look on his face you can tell he totally doesn’t care that he is caught!

Bradley stepped behind the camera again for a photo shoot of me and E this time. 

042 047 048 049

One day Gavin was not napping and getting into everything so I strapped him into the baby bouncy chair in my room so I could take a shower and when I came out he was gone!! He stood UP and walked to hang out with Easton while the chair was strapped onto him.  I guess nothing at this point should surprise me with this little sneaky monkey!

On Thursday we went to the USAF ’s Memorial Service for the three men from our unit who were killed in the helicopter crash.  Two of them being Brad’s very close friends and teammates who always had his back! It was humbling, powerful and extremely emotional all in one.  There were about 800 people there so it is clear that Dan, John and Andy have absolutely no chances of ever being forgotten.  They will always live on with so many of us.  No pictures were allowed to be taken though.  Later that night I took a few when I made it to a BAR! Here is me and two of my close friends and PJ wives! Kim above and Marie below.  I regret not having more pictures but all the details were crazy that night. 

053

Now tonight we were low key and here is Daddy playing with the boys. 

056 057

Gavin was happy but then I wanted to take his pacifier away to get their pictures.  This is ALWAYS what happens if you take away his beloved “faci.”

059 066

Daddy had to sing and dance to get him happy again. 

076

Our three loves! I wanted to take their picture because Bradley always gets so excited when they all have dinosaur pajamas on the same night.  It is never planned.  It just magically happens.  Bradley will get dressed on his own while I get Gavin’s pajamas on and Bradley will come in the room and be thrilled to see he and I had the same idea.  Then we put Easton in his to match. 

081

The best part of dinosaur pajama night is when Bradley and Gavin start roaring together once they realize they are matching.  

086 087 088  092 093

Easton is always happy (even if he is running into a wall.)

099 090

That about sums it up. I wish reviewing was always this fun!

I literally laughed out loud about Gavin walking the bouncy chair that he was strapped into, that is hilarious! Love the dinosaur pajama pictures! It looks like you guys have fun all day and night long!

I tried to comment last night, and it didn't go through. So, I'll try again today. :) The boys look so adorable in their matching dino pj's. I can't believe G still fits in those fleece ones, ha! Miss you guys!
