What's Up With the David's: The Boys!

I honestly don't even know where to begin when talking about my boys. I love them beyond description and there is so much to share but so little room to write. They are just such rad little dudes and they bring me and Christian so much happiness and laughter on a daily basis - they literally crack us up with their shenanigans. They also drive us to drink some days and we often want to run off to Mexico. But I always tell Christian that they will never be this age again and we will never get these days back. So, even though it's incredibly difficult sometimes to raise these little wild boys, we know we need to enjoy the good times we have with them and not dwell on the bad. We feel incredibly blessed to have them in our lives.

And we are loving the ages they are right now...3 and 17 months. I just want to bottle them up and never let them get any bigger! They are growing up way too fast, but the cool part is that they are growing up together. I'll be the first to admit I never wanted two boys, but now I love it! They are best buds and its so awesome to see them together. Nothing makes me happier than to see them play together, make each other laugh and give each other hugs.

Gavin is obsessed with Jack! He always wants to be near him and do whatever Jack is doing - he's turning into a mini-Jack. As soon as Gav wakes up the first person he asks for is his brother and when Jack is gone, Gavin is constantly asking where he is. The cutest thing he does is whenever he gets a snack or drink, he asks me to get one for Jack too...every time without fail. But I think Jack is equally in love with his little bro. He's very sweet with him and he's always concerned with his happiness. If Gavin is sad, Jack brings him a toy or car and tells him it's going to be ok. Gavin can be a brat and annoy Jack, but Jack has so much patience with him. Jack loves to greet Gavin in his crib in the morning and read books with him at night. Don't get me wrong, they have their moments when they fight and drive each other crazy! But for the most part, they really enjoy each other.

The last month has been really fun for us. I was super busy with work in January and February so I felt like I didn't get much QT with my boys. But I am not working a lot now so the three of us spend a lot of time together. Our favorite things to do these days are play dates with friends, making healthy smoothies together (they love to help me!), taking walks in this glorious SoCal weather, dance hour with dad after dinner, going to Disneyland, visiting Mimi, and going to our favorite park, Citrus Park, to race cars down the hill. I've turned into such a mom of boys! I can name every racer from CARS but I have no idea who the princesses are! But I wouldn't have it any other way. My boys are my life. I do plan to write individual posts about each of them but I just wanted to share how great they are together....they're my package deal! Here are a few pictures of them from the past two months...

Snack Time! Their favorite time of the day. If they could skip regular meals and just snack all day, they would be in hog heaven...

Whatever Jack does, Gavin does...

All three of my men! These boys idolize their daddy...

Brotherly love! Their latest adorable thing to do is hug each other. Gavin tells Jack, "hug, hug" and Jack is happy to oblige...

Jack taught Gav how to ride the mini-ATV....

He also taught him how to crash...

Checking out the ducks at Disneyland...

Hanging with mom while we wait for daddy and mimi to get off a ride...

Dance Hour! Our favorite thing to do after dinner is play music and dance. Gavin says "shake your booty" and we know it's time! The boys love to act like they are in a band. As you can see, Jack really gets into it...

Smoothie time! In my attempt to get more veggies into these guys, I bought a Ninja blender and started making fruit and veggie smoothies. The boys love to help me and they don't even notice they are eating spinach, kale, Swiss chard, carrots and tons of fruit...they just know it tastes yummy...
