Gwen Lately~15 mon.

Gwen trying to brush her teeth, but didnt quit make in her mouth

being so serious about what she is doing

Gettin' some toothpaste

cute Gwen

screaming cause she's happy

Gwen loves to go in the kids bathroom, open up the stool (where the kids keep their tooth brush and tooth paste), sit down on the stool and act like she is putting tooth paste on the tooth brush. She is obsessed with doing this. If she has run off somewhere, I know to look in the bathroom, and find her sitting there like this (above) quietly "brushing her teeth". Pretty cute!

Gwen is such a sweetie mixed with a little spunk.

She knows exactly what she wants, and screams at the top of her lungs to let you know what she wants while pointing her finger.

She loves her brothers and loves to play with them, but not afraid to fight back when in need

She is hilarious, and knows how to be cute, funny, coy at the right times.

She loves her pink soft blankie

Sucks her thumb while holding her blankie up to her nose and sniffs it breathing really loud. (Sawyer does the same thing- their blankies must smell good to them)

Still holds on to my hair when Im holding her.

Now goes up to our dog and holds her tail while sucking her thumb

Twirls her own hair while sucking her thumb if she doesnt have my hair in hand.

loves doing wheels on the bus, and itzy bitzy spider. You never know when she is going to break out with her hand motions, and wants you to sing along

Gives sweetest Kisses

So friendly with other people, waves and says hi to everyone in the store

Finally got ear tubes about a month ago, and has done wonders for her. She is sleeping through the night again, now that she doesnt have to deal with those horrible ear infections!! Yeah!

Always wakes up with a bug smile, and ready to go have some fun

loves her babies/her white bear

Amelia's: cutest little beachy italian restraunt and really good too!

Jono was such a good husband and surprised me for mothers day with a weekend getaway. We have been saying that we need to take a weekend for just us. So Jono's parents watched our kiddos, and we took off to Newport Beach this weekend. It was really nice to go somewhere local and not have to worry about the hassle of the airport. We literally just took our time with what we did, and didn't have anything to worry about at all. This was just what we needed. Friday night we went to Roy's and then went shopping, and then stayed up late watching a movie together. Saturday, We amazingly slept in until 10am!!! Oh my gosh, I have not done that since highschool! I thought maybe the time was wrong when I opened my eyes and saw those numbers. With 3 kiddos sleeping in is 7am. I didn't care if I was being lazy and sleeping in that late, I loved it! After a well rested night, Jono was so sweet and scheduled an hour massage at the spa where we were staying! It was so fun to go with Jono, where we were both pampered and had the best massage ever. That was definitely worth it and much needed! The rest of the day we went shopping, walked around Balboa Island and wished we could live there in one of the amazing beach houses, and ate at a darling little mom and pop type itialian restraunt on Balboa called Amelias. We then ended the night seeing a late night movie! Sunday, was our last day to sleep in. WE took our time getting ready and met up at Jono's parents place where our little kids were waiting for us. They were so excited to see us, but they had soo much fun with their Mema and Papa. We loved having a couple days to ourselves, and doing all these fun activities with eachother. It brought back memories of when we were dating. I am so lucky to have Jono. He is so good to me. I love him so much and have so much fun with him. This was a perfect weekend. Now we are back to real life with our kids, but real life is also a good thing. Its good to be rejuvinated and get back to being a mom of 3.
