Give me a break...

Damon was eating a box of lemon heads and thought Davis might want a treat too so he asked me if he could give him something...

Much to his surprise I said yes.  

(refer to a few posts back about us being much more lax with #2)

We handed him a Kit Kat and you would have thought the kid was in heaven.  He was a chocolaty slobbery mess!  

Don't worry I only let him suck on it for a few seconds.

There are times when I think being a mom is way to stinken hard... but then there are moments like this where you couldn't possibly love your little ones anymore or you'd burst at the seams!

 I told Damon to make sure he was holding Davis really well while I took the picture.

Notice, he grabbed on to his ear like a little handle.  Ha Ha.

Damon loves his little brother... and vise versa!

Happy New Year!

Damon workin on some bubbly!

 CHEERS!  

 Grandma and Grandpa joined in the fun of our "East Coast New Year"

aka... 10pm celebration and off to bed we went :)

All Smiles!

As always... nice and happy!  and do you see those large bumps on his gums... those are his HUGE teeth that emerged just a couple days after we took this picture.

 

Let me help you guide this in mom.  We wouldn't want any to go to waste.

Post Christmas Relaxing

Damon found himself a nice little spot to enjoy his christmas candy.

Merry Christmas

Donut anyone?

I know the picture is blurry but it was too funny not to post it.  

Yes, that is Darren feeding Davis a powdered donut hole and he LOVED it!  Ha Ha... It goes to show you how much more lax you get with your 2nd.  I don't think Damon had anything that even resembled sugar until his birthday cake when he turned 1.

...just listen to the rhythym of my heart...

Darren probably gets sick of me wondering and asking... "What do you think our boys will be when the grow up".  But it's something I wonder ALL the time.  I wonder what they'll be interested in, what will motivate them, what they'll want to be great at.  Obviously Damon is only 2 and has plenty of time to decide, but so far the little guy really does love music.

Lately I've been trying to let him be a little more independent and not monitor his every move.  So, the other day he wandered upstairs by himself and I decided to let him and see what happened.  After a few minutes I headed up to check on him and this is what I found.

My previously clothed child had striped down to his skivvies, retrieved my guitar out of it's case in the back of the spare bedroom closet and was having his own little jam session.

It was really fun to watch him figure out how it worked and what sounds he could muster up.

From day one both our boys have LOVED the tub (thank heavens).  

 Lately they've been taking their baths together and even though space is a bit tight they both think it's great!

Happy Boy!

It just might be safe to say we have the happiest boy alive!

I mean really, I'm not sure he could get any happier.  He wakes up in the morning just laughing... much like this!  I hope he always chooses to be this way :)

You're my...

honey bun... sugar plum... pumpe-ump-e-umpkin

YOU'RE MY SWEETIE PIE!

You're my cuppie cake... gum-drop... shnookem shnookem you're...

THE APPLE OF MY EYE!

I just love you Davis!

Santa Clause is Comin to Town...

Damon with Santa at our Ward Christmas Party that Darren and I were in charge of.

Christmas Card

I'm obviously behind in my blogging seeing as I'm just now posting our Christmas Card.  However, like many of you, this is how I document our happenings so I wanted to throw it up for memories sake I suppose.

ahhh...

I love UTAH

4 Wheelin

Damon LOVES riding 4-Wheelers.  

Especially when he can do it all by himself.

Family Pictures!

This is CRAZY... but we got family pictures for the very first time this year!  I know, I'm a photographer and I've never had anyone take our family picture... ridiculous!  Well, my friend and fellow photographer Taisley took these AMAZING family pictures and I couldn't love them more!  You can check out more of her stuff HERE

Fireman in training

Grandpa Haub was nice enough to let Damon play Fireman for an afternoon

  

Watch out boys here I come!
