*SuMmEr*

Here's a little of what we've been up to....

This is what "Sonic" (Mason, I know horrible nickname, blame David) is doing as I'm trying to write this...

It's been really hot, so most days he hangs out in a diaper or a onesie. (David hates the teething necklace on him, I had to get a pic before it gets banned.)

 Johnny and I make faces and send funny things to Icky (Emily)!

Who doesn't love free kid activities at the library? Last week they learned about rocks and got to paint their own pet rock!

 And this little one is learning more everyday, he's rolling, trying to scoot, and now sitting!

 And even though he's getting more independent he still loves his snuggles in his carrier! This is how I find time to clean my house and cook for my family!

Nate turns 4!

Nate turned 4 on May 24th! He's been asking for months to have a "Candyland" birthday party! I tried my best to throw one together for him. We played a life size  game of Candyland and had candy prizes. And I attempted to make a Candyland cake, it was a disaster, I cried over the cake, lol. Things were melting like crazy and falling off all over the place! Nate didn't seem to care though and we had a lot of fun with both sides of the family over for the party! I got pictures of some of his fun gifts but missed some, he got quite the haul. Everyone knows Nate really well and they all showed up with his favorite superhero toys!

 The horrible mess of a cake!!!! I am not a baker!

 Happy Birthday handsome boy!!!

Our Year So Far In Pictures.....

Wow life has been busy, here's a photo bomb post of 2013 for us so far! I'll narrate a little...

On his due date, January 24, 2013, Mason Porter Graves arrived! He has brought such a sweet presence to our home!

 First smile!

 Johnny loves Mason so much and is so protective of him!

 Mason and I got thrush when he was a couple weeks old, it was miserable, here is his purple mouth from the medicine.

 Our little weirdo Nate! Love this kid!

 Johnny and Nate played a lot of Kinect right after Mason was born.

Johnny was really good and home and preschool and earned this reward!

 Icky made this cute car seat blanket for Mason, it was used a TON in Logan while it was freezing!

 Cutest boys in the world!

 We went to Vegas to visit cousins, Johnny loved showing them he was big enough to hold his baby.

 Mason and Grant are only 3 weeks apart!

 I think Mason looks just like my brother Stephen in this picture.

 David saved his rewards points and cashed them out for this chair, here's his brother in it wearing "Space" glasses, we call it the space chair.

 All the Graves cousins together, minus the babies.

 Our family night activity a couple weeks ago...;

 Mason loves his carriers, we have multiple because he's had horrible acid reflux and needs to be upright a lot. I adore this picture of David carrying him! Best dad ever!

 About a month ago we moved, again, and are hopefully staying put this time. I refuse to move anymore! We found this really fun park near our new place!

Stephen got home from his mission about 2 weeks ago, his flight was really delayed and Icky and I got bored!

 So excited he's home!!!

Nate keeps dressing up as a missionary since Stephen got home! So glad my boys have so many uncles setting good examples for them!

 Love when these 2 get along!

Probably my all-time favorite picture of Mason!

 Mason was blessed at 4 months, the same day as Stephens homecoming talk. We decided to wait for Stephen to get home so they could share that special day!

 Mason sleeping in his other carrier! Love cuddling this little bug!

 Nate turned 4 the other day! He had a Candyland party! Pictures to come....

 This is how he dresses lately....I do not let him out in public like this, LOL
