Christmas with the Lavender Family

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! We have been keeping very busy over here at the Lavender house. On Christmas Eve, we went to my uncle Craig's house for brunch. It was DELICIOUS!! Then, we went to Foster's parent's house that night and had a delcious dinner, a nice little Christmas program, the annual pajama parade, and Santa (Grandpa Lavender) handed out gifts to everyone. Then, we went home and Foster and I were up until 11:30 or so building toys and getting ready for the morning. Christmas Day, the boys woke up and FGoster's parents joined us while we all opened gifts! We had a very wonderful morning, and we can almost see the living room floor again! Then, we went to my parent's house where we had lunch and Video chatted with my brother, Brant and his girlfriend, Naomi who are in England. We opened presents (these boys are SO spoiled!) and vidoe chatted with my sister and her family in Virginia. We came home and relaxed the rest of the day. We had a wonderful time with all of our family!

Something new... but nothing fancy

I have had a hard time keeping up with the whole blogging adventure... so every once in a while I just throw in some recent pics of teh kiddos and call it good. I hope you enjoy!

Jack's Sleeping Habits

I was looking through some of the pictures I have taken this summer, and realized that I have a bunch of Jack asleep in wierd places or positions. He stopped taking naps about 5 months ago, so some days he is tired early and just poops out wherever he lands! Seriously good stuff...

An Update!

We have had so much going on lately, so I thought I would take the chance to play catch up while Wyatt is sleeping and Jack is playing quietly... because it's rare!

First off, we took a trip to Tillamook because my dad lives there and spent a day at the beach and went to the firehouse where my dad volunteers. We had a good time, and Jack loved playing with Grandpa in the freezing cold water and on the firetruck!






We also went to the fair this summer and Jack rode a pony and we watched the Demolition Derby. It would have been much more fun if it wasn't like 95 degrees outside... BLEH!






There are also just some really good pictures from hanging out this summer with my boys that I would love to share... seriously good stuff.

Jack's Potty Chart

We are really trying to buckle down and get this potty training thing done once and for all. I decided that I am sick of giving Jack candy every time he goes potty. So, I decided that I would make him a chart and he could put a sticker on it every time he went on the toilet. I went to the store last night and bought some poster board and CARS stickers and stayed up late using my Cricut (shout out to the mother-in-law for one of my favorite gifts of all time) and made him this little board. He really likes the idea and is having fun with it! So, hopefully it works and I will only have 1 child in diapers very, VERY soon!

LONG TIME, NO SEE!

It has been so long since I posted anything... almost 1 year! Wyatt is here and 4 months old already. Jack is already 3! I have lots of fun pics... so I will just post them and get things up to date... as much as I possibly can.
