Still Buzz Buzz Buzz

He does make a pretty adorable Buzz.  He is getting a little less obsessed with Toy Story and now actually allows other Disney movies to be played in the home :)  I put this outfit on him and couldn't get it off without kicking and screaming!  I think we have his costume for Halloween already.  I love that he carries his (actually Gavin's) Buzz Lightyear around all the time, he must be in the car with us on our drives to town, and he is very possessive of him.  Poor Gav can't even play with his own toy.  And poor little Woody doesn't get the time of day :)  Gotta soak it up while he is still "all things Buzz" cause I know its just a phase and might end at any given time.

I couldn't get a decent pic of him cause he was glued to the tv, watching you know what.   Ya'll might think I allow a tad bit too much tv in my home, but ya know we do what we can :)

Can't get much cuter....

Ok, so really my boys are the biggest heart melter's.  They are big fat mama's boys who really could do no wrong in my eyes.  Gavin is my squishy.  He loves when I grab him and squeeze him so tight, sometimes he even asks for me to squeeze him tighter :)  then comes the overflow of kissing those ever so thick and squishy cheeks he wears.  Makes.my.day.  My baby boy is not so "baby" like anymore.  Perhaps its been this way for awhile now and I am still in denial about the whole thing.  He needs to stop growing so tall, he's catching up to Gavin faster than I would like!  I do admit that Landon can pretty much get away with anything in this house, he has had me wrapped around his little finger since birth, but who's counting right? :)

Random thoughts from Val

So I haven't been a great blogger this past year, and to be honest I.MISS.IT!  With dumb facebook that takes up a good chunk of my already limited time to "myself", I find it harder and harder to post and glance at other blogs that I used to check daily.  I think back to all the blogger friends I had and all the fantastic comments (not sure why comments seem so exciting to me, but they do) I would make and get in return,  and through the past year it has dwindled down to only a few here and there.  Its sad.  I look back at my blog and have the intention of making it into a book, someday.....and blogging is seriously so much more fun than facebook.  More personal.  Not sure if its because the pool of people on facebook is so large and the fact that there aren't as many bloggers out there as there used to be.  But I yearn for that connection on my blog again.  Is that dumb?!  Yes, I do believe it is :)  But there it is.  My random thoughts.  I vow to be a better blogging friend.  Spend less time on facebook.  More time on this fabulous world of the blogging. So to those of you who still look at my blog, thank you.  And for those of you who have missed my fabulous comments on your adorable blogs, I vow to take the time to actually comment and not just glance real quick. And yes I am a nerd.  I big one in fact.  But you are reading this which means you love me and remember why you are friends with me. 
the end.

Snowy goodness

We went on another sledding adventure a few weeks ago with our ward.  It was a beautiful sunny day and the kids had a blast!  My kids are adorable in the snow, and it was a much better day than when we went on New Year's.  This spot wasn't my favorite AT ALL, but the kids had fun, we had great food prepared for us so really how can I complain?
I am so very thankful for a husband who is strong and halls the kids up and down for me.  Its hard enough getting myself up there, and when you add a whole extra person to hall up the hill that, becomes seriously hard for me. 
So here are just a few shots of our snowy fun.
