Gavinator


Gavin has a cute little friend named Jaydin. He is in our ward and also goes to preschool with Gavin. Jaydin is black. The other day Gavin said to Jared "What color is Jaydin? Jared replied, "Well he's brown. What color are you Gavin? I think you look pink." Gavin turned on the light looked at his skin and said, " No dad, I am dark white."

Action shot

Our tough little bud is all. over. the. place. He doesn't stop moving. No wonder he's such a shrimp!! I just thought this action shot was cute of him trying to go from the tub to the toilet. Totally ate it but got right back up. This was about 2 weeks ago, now he's a pro!


"Tate"


Because this is the ONLY pic I have of him. I try not to post many pics of my self on this bloggity blog, but my darling little newphew needed his announcement. He is almost 3 weeks old now and is so cute. PERFECT baby in every way. Cutest little platinum mohawk you have ever seen.
Congrats to my baby sister her hubby and Brinley! Cant wait to see him (and you all) again!!

Seriously, how cool is my hubby?! I was so surprised on my birthday when he showed up with this piece of work. Now I can sew and craft my little heart out!!! We still have to put the shelves in, but I LOVE it! Am I so lucky or what to have such a talented man!



A little side note. Gavin was upstairs playing for a while and he came down and said "mom, come see what I did." I closed my eyes and he led me upstairs (banging me into the wall on the way) and I opened my eyes to see that he had decorated my area. He did it all by himself and I don't know where he came up with the plate thing because no one I know has that in their house that he has seen. I thought hanging the butterfly on the blinds was a nice touch as well. Cute!!

Hudson 9 months


My little Huddy buddy is 9 months old. He is such an awesome baby, seriously. He is a total momma's boy, which I LOVE. When he wakes up or gets tired, or really any time he sees me he says mama. It makes me melt. I has been crawling since he was 6 months old the last few weeks he has been kneeling and pulling himself up on things, but still doesn't stand up on his own yet. He is happy and always smiling with his cute little dimples. He loves Gavin and loves to play anywhere Gavin is. Livi is always running away from he because he chases her and giggles. If he gets her on the floor he pulls her hair and tries to eat it. He says Hi, mama and dada. He waves to everyone and loves to clap. We love our H.B.!

Gavin David Bruce Norton

My heart is heavy with the news today brings. Little baby Gavin passed away this morning. My heart literally feels broken. This is the second good friends baby to pass away within the last 2 weeks. I am greatful for the Savior's atoning sacrifice, that made it possible to live together forever as families. I'm so greatful for my friend Nat and her example of faith. Pray for their family and please IMMUNIZE YOUR KIDS!!!! Little Gavin died of Pertussis, something I would love to never hear about again. Click on previous post to ready about Gavin.

Pray for baby Gavin


Hey all,

My good friend Natalie is going through something I could not begin to imagine. On December 29th her 8 week old baby Gavin was admitted to Primary Children's hospital and diagnosed with Pertussis, pnemonia, rsv, just to name a few. He is REALLY sick. In fact they have not expected him to live as long as he has. They have told her HE is the sickest baby in the Intensive Care Unit at primary childrens. They have experimented with things they have never done and small miracles happen but then there's another set back. She has been so positive and hopeful and is asking for prayers. So if you could pray for little baby Gavin today, miracles can happen. God is good, and they have incredible faith. If you want to read more about Gavin click here.

My little H man

Hudson is 6 months old! Wow how time flies. I ADORE this little bug. He is ALWAYS happy and so easy going. He gets excited easily. I just have to look at him and he will giggle. I love it! He has slept on his tummy for almost 2 months now. At first I would go in and put him on his back but the next time I would check on him he would be on his tummy.
He is trying to get his knees up under him but hasn't quite figured that out yet, thank goodness. He is always busy, loves any toy you give him. He loves to snuggle me, and I love it. I love how he balls up into me and giggles. I love being a mom and am so lucky to have 3 little cuties all to myself all day!!

Jake

Check out this cute little dude!! Isn't he handsome? We got to hang out with my good friend Sara the other night and snapped some shots of this cutie. He loves his momma and has the cutest personality! We had so much fun. This cute red barn was at her moms house. We took pictures, picked apples and plums, yum, had a fire and roasted weenies when it got dark. I might just also want to mention how awesome my friend Sara is. This past week she taught me how to can peaches. This week its applesauce and salsa. I can't wait. Her pantry is so beautiful, I love to stare at all her jarred goods. It really is breathtaking. I might sound insane right now, but it's true. See don't you all want to live in the country???? It's da best! Hug, hug, keese keese, liddle keese, big Keese. (Nachooooooo)










First Day of Pre-school


Super excited for his first day of school. Spiderman backpack and all.


She just stepped in bird pooped and was super ticked.



Comforting his sister. "It's okay," he said. "It's just little tiny poops." That should make it all better right? But she's no fool. She could see one big giant pile of "lots of poops." I guess someone should clean the front porch???
Still ticked at the poops.
