Oh "Deer"

So apparently in most of the world this winter has been never ending, but for us we have been able to have some awesome spring weather for the last month! It has been absolutely wonderful. I can never believe how bad I get cabin fever until the first glimmer of spring hits and I just don't want to do ANYTHING other than be outside. It's kind of ridiculous. 

Look at these boys :) Seriously I love them.

So our first springish outing was a drive in the mountains. We found a new area and the first time we drove through we saw over 40 deer! Weston saw them too, which he thought was the coolest thing ever.

Rob took off early one Saturday morning with a buddy to go try to hunt. Although they didn't have any luck, he saw a ton of prints and said the area was gorgeous.

We decided the next day to go on a hike, kind of to test the waters to see if we were ready to really attempt hikes with this crazy family :) I think it was amazing and was so much fun!

Colton loved his Moby Wrap and fell asleep within the first 10 minutes. It was awesome!

Weston did really good, but eventually he just sat down on the dirt and said "daddy, please carry me now." And so he got a shoulder ride for awhile.

And finally, so add to the awesome springness that is happening right now, today Weston went to his first Zoo Education class! He was one of the youngest, but he did SO well and was completely captivated. He loved everything and has talked about it all day :)

Valentines Day, Guns, and a Blessing

This year for Valentines was the most fun by far! Rob was home which was awesome! We woke up and trying to decide what to do, we decided to load up and head shooting. It was gorgeous outside so we just couldn't pass it up. Weston and Bors loved finally being outside, and we found a good spot all by ourselves where we could let them just roam and explore. They were in heaven. Rob wasn't suffering too much either. I hung out in the car with Colton most the time, but it was still so nice to be outside watching my boys enjoy themselves :)

The boys got Rob a cute picture college for V Day. It was so much fun to put together, even though Weston HATED how sticky the lipstick was :)

 I got Rob a teddy bear (original right?!) and a sweatshirt that he had been wanting.

And he made me this gorgeous sign

After the shooting we grabbed some pizza, which is our tradition and just hung out at home the rest of the night watching movies. It was perfect.

The next day was Colton's blessing day! Weston's was absolutely insane so this time we made it as simple as possible. Only immediate family knew, which still made for a decent crowd :)

It was a perfect weekend. On Monday we went shooting again with my family since we both got the day off of work and that night we took advantage of Danielle being home so we went and saw Jupiter Ascending. Pretty awesome movie and a very needed date night with my hubs :) 

The Love of Brothers

Oh man. Rob and I are both back in school, both working, and both going mildly crazy. But we're hanging in there. It helps that our kids are ridiculously cute. Seriously though. The other night we were trying to make Colton happy and settled for bed. He finally chilled out when Rob laid him in the corner underneath the lamp. So what would any logical parents do at this point? Lay down next to him and fall asleep of course :) Gotta love the baby phase! Throw on top of that trying to potty train a 2 year old and you can say our life is never boring!

Daddy is definitely his favorite person to be with, Weston being a close second. 

This potty training thing is no joke. He is usually awesome... but we are not 100% yet. Basically he never wears pants in the house anymore... ever.

I love this picture. My naked babies :)

 My boys and their TV... it is kind of ridiculous. And don't ask me why Weston is sucking on his toe. I have no idea. Probably because he knows it drives me INSANE.

So a week or two ago I got to go get my hair cut. It took TWO HOURS. Best Haircut Ever. That was the first time Rob was left with both boys for a long period of time... so of course he took pics :)

 My boys :)

 Oh you know, just going out on the town. (This boy though! Such a stud :) )

This is Colton's favorite place to sleep...and his favorite position.

 This is what happens when we let Weston watch a movie after 3 pm. Again... no pants :)

 I cannot get over how much these boys love each other! Colton LOVES to watch Weston play, and Weston LOVES to get Colton to laugh. It is seriously the cutest thing ever :)
