some random cute pics

A close up of our beautiful babies. Gavin on the bottom, Griffin on top.

Gavin is the sad face. He really doesn't cry as much as it appears on here...we just capture his moments when he is trying to tell us to put the darn cameras down!

The boys like to look outside. Gavin fell asleep this way. (he is on the right) Notice the chubby legs of the boys....I love to squeeze them!

Snugglin with Dad. Immediately following this photo....Daddy was puked on.....muahahahahaha...our little spitter struck again.

Meet the Lavigne's

These are my friends Dave and Tiffany Lavigne and their children. Dave and Tiffany started off as hair clients of mine back in ND years and years ago ('96?) and moved to Minneapolis shortly after I did back in 2000.

Playtime with Daddy!

Randy was showing the boys some fun shapes and colors and they were mesmerized. I love to watch them explore their world!

All about Gavin!!

Waaaaaaa!!!!!

Ok, this one isn't so bad....

I don't like this at all!

Why mom?
So, with all of my nieces and nephews I have always given them "hats" made from burp clothes. Well, now that I have my own little cuties....they get to be part of the fun but, as you can see, Gavin maybe didn't have as much fun as I did!

(in my defense, it was time for him to eat too....dinner was served immediately!)

All about Griffin!

Dr. Burton our cardiologist checking Griffin over. For those of you that may not remember, Griffin was born with a small heart issue called pulmonary valvar stenosis (sp?). It means a narrow valve from his heart to his lungs. He checked out to be just fine. They measure things by a number and anything under 30 is considered mild. He is under 30 with minimal change since he was discharged from the hospital. They want to check him at specific intervals to chart any changes and follow it as he matures. All in all, excellent news! Praise God!

Weight check: 15.1lbs!! Our big boy!

Getting his length checked: 24.25in long

Bathtime fun! Seriously. so. cute.

Tummy Time

If this offends you then don't look! :)

Griffin practicing for the future....and.....as you can see, he likes it!
Don't worry, no children were harmed in the making of this photo.

Visit from Great Aunt Di and Cousin Tami

My Auntie Di and cousin Tami with Gavin and Griffin. Tami lives here in the Metro area and my Aunt was here visiting from ND. The boys love getting all the snuggles they can. The ladies even served dinner to the boys. It is so fun to introduce the boys to family. Especially when you hear oooo...awww... so cute!... :) Of course WE think they are cute...and I am sure we aren't biased one bit. I wonder if there is a mother out there that says "I don't think my baby is cute"? But seriously, MY babies are the cutest babies EVER. Hahahaha :)

off the deep end....

When we are about to go off the deep end and the babies are being extra fussy, we throw them in their new favorite chair....it even swings baaack and fooorth. Whew....

Father's Day gift

How much does Daddy love his babies? Thiiiiiis muuuuch. Minnesota Twins t-shirt

Wear it with pride babe!

We also did a photoshoot with my friend Teea that was all Green Bay Packer attire. I made it into a photo collage for Randy....now if only there was time to shop for a frame....

Happy First Father's Day!!!

Randy and the boys. We had lunch today at the Freighthouse in Stillwater, MN. It was a perfect day for dining riverside. (St. Croix River)
Happy Father's Day!!

On our drive home, we took the "scenic" route and took the boys to Wisconsin for the first time. They can now start appreciating their love for all things Packer related.

>We got the boys some dolls called Ugly Dolls at a store in Stillwater. Every boy needs a doll, right? At least these don't look very girly. The boys seem to like them and snuggled right in.
