Three Men and a Baby

Here is the latest baby in the ever popular G family. Sloan Marion. Blue and Slade are sure proud cousins.

Cruz soaking up the sun. His face looks especially round and kissable in this picture.

Blue ready at all times to throw a sand ball. I had to keep remind him that those are reserved for his Brother and Father. The Mother is immuned.

Slade relaxing and enjoying the sand. We all like summer better on the beach.

In Loving Memory

My autographed picture in my living room.

I just wanted to send out a little love for the late Tammy Faye. She died after a long battle of cancer. I love her and I am super sad that she is no longer with us. One thing I know for sure is that she went straight to Heaven. She was always such a great example of Christ like love. She accepted everyone with love - including Ron Jeremy - she just really knew how to love the sinner without loving the sin. After meeting her twice at two different swap meets and, watching her on The Eyes of Tammy Faye and The Surreal Life - I fell in love. She will be missed.

Fathers Day...A Few Days Late

I just realized that I should have had a blogging shout out to my Baby Daddy, also know as my husband. He is a great Dad and a pretty fun person to be sticking out eternity with.

All good Dad's know how to ride a tire swing.

All good Dad's know how to push a tire swing "super crazy high."

All good Dad's know how to pass 95% of their genes on to their offspring. That is how we got these three cute boys.

Nauvoo

Here are a few pic's of our trip to Nauvoo. It was fun and interesting checking out all the Mormon history. One major beef with Nauvoo - there are no decent places to eat there. We are talking a buffet serving potato pearls and a sandwich shop that thinks mayo is the bomb. Here are all the kids making old time paper hats for a parade.

Cruzer thinking that he is the biggest baddest walker on that side of the Mississippi.

Slade poking his little face out of a log cabin.

Blue soaking up the grassy fields and warm humidity.

It was super cool to gain a greater understanding of how things were for the settlers of our church. To better understand what sacrifices were made for the truth. I hope that my family will always carry with us an appreciation of the pioneers and the early Prophets. It is difficult to really have any sort of idea of what life would be like without Tivo and cell phones etc. Let me just say that I might die without my "So You Think You Can Dance" episodes. Hey, maybe it wasn't disease that caused so many problems back then, it was a lack of television. I am a terrible person.

A Day In

Blue at his school - showing off his spiders and webs diarama. Made all by himself.

This is what Slade says a Mormon looks like. Don't ask.

Cruz just playing up the whole baby thing. Love it.

Bedtime

Just a little R and R with Cruz, Slade and Arthur.
Cruz is really starting to think he is a big kid. He says, "Enough with this baby business - I would rather hang out with my big brother."

The Fight

When I picked up Slade from preschool last week his teacher came walking out right after him, heading straight for my car door. I thought - "Oh great, what happened?" Then Slade got closer to the car and I saw scratches all over his face that were still bleeding. His teacher told me that she believed that Slade got pushed off his chair by this other little boy who was upset and wanting his seat. He told me that he just had to defend himself.... The funny thing was that Slade was by no means upset about this fight that happened exactly two minutes before I picked him up. He simply said, "Tyler started it and I finished it." After a good long talk about not fighting and telling the teacher if there is a problem - he promised that that would be his last fight EVER in school. What do you think my chances are of that being true with three boys?

EASTER

Our Easter was full of egg hunts and sugar overloads. My kids woke up bright and early to see what the Easter Bunny had brought for them. I guess the Easter Bunny really likes Bionicles, bubbles and their personal fav, Yugioh cards. Then off to Glama's house for some good food and good cousins to play with. Then the night ended with a ragin' dance party with Remi showing us the latest moves.

Future MVP

Slade had his first T-ball game and had a super fun time. His lovely Auntie Devan made his team cute baseball cupcakes.

Looking all proud of his self proclaimed "Star Player" status.

Baby brother Cruz holding the bat, never too early for some practice.

The loyal fans, Dev, Glama Fabulous, Kelli, Craig, Blue and Dad.

Stay tuned for the scholarship offers.

Happiest Place on Earth, Seriously.

We had a great time on our little va ca to California for spring break.














Baby Cruz walking to get on his favorite ride, the tea cups.


















Blue just hanging out, waiting for his churro.















Slade was so cute and super excited to go on the Matterhorn for the very first time. He loved every minute of it. It was so fun to be able to ride a roller coaster with my two big boys.













Jason, Blue and Slade on the rockets. We had a blast.

Bad Blogger

So, I have been a bad blogger. I have been pretty busy with catering, mothering, sistering, friending, and wifeing. But here are a few pics of the past month...

The boys hiding under a sheet. Cruz was a little wierded out.

Slade having his daily jump on the trampoline. This always involves the sprinklers and a popsicle.

Feeding the scary and super aggressive ducks at the park.

Figuring out how to cause trouble by being cute and pulling off all the books.

Now we are off for a fun filled spring break! More posts to come loyal fans, hi Dave.

 

Anna Nicole

Let me just pay a tribute her to Anna. She was a little crazy, a little kooky, and a lover of pickles. I really do feel sad for her though - I feel bad that she had so much craziness in her life and that it ended on a low note. I do however feel happy that she made me laugh alot on her reality show. She will be missed.

A Day At The Park

We had a great day at the park. Blue perfected his monkey bar skills, Cruz did some swingin' and Slade thought it was a blast going upside down. This was one of those perfect days, where I count my blessings that I get to hang out with these boys all the time.
