Mammoth with Levi and Pop Pop


Pop Pop and I took Levi to Mammoth for a long weekend. He was in need for some 1:1 time and snow. We had the most amazing weekend skiing, hot tubbing, playing in the snow, and being kids along with Levi!

  

Lunch at Barbies along the 395

We enjoyed dinner out two nights...pizza, ice cream, and arcade



 An afternoon sledding




The best part about this weekend was watching Levi truly enjoy being a little kid and experiencing many firsts!

Wrestlemania

It's happened. The boys have discovered wrestling. I'm trying to not intervene, but it's hard! We've also noticed that Felix often has the upper hand, so the other night I handicapped him by putting him in his sleep sack BEFORE they wrestled. Sadly, I don't think it slowed him down. Watch out Levi, it's only a matter of time!

A Lesson About LOVE

Levi and I had a conversation about the meaning of Love and he eagerly shared this song w/ me. I had no idea he knew it, but it was lovely to hear!

A Weekend With Tommy!

John went to SXSW for 5 days and so we shipped in our dear friend Tommy from NYC to help with the boys for the weekend. What a weekend to remember. Tommy became very good at pushing the double stroller up the hill and mastered multiple bedtimes at 7pm. Through it all, we shared many laughs. I don't think either one of us will ever forget this action packed, food throwing, dance party  filled weekend. Phew...we did it!


  

We finally made it to the Zimmer Children's museum, which is brilliant!


Levi and Tommy doing their photo shoot


Baby Gus took to Tommy beautifully...he is a natural with newborns!


There aren't many friends who would fly across country and not only spend money but their free time to help take care of 3 boys four and under. John and I are so blessed to have Tommy in our lives.


Morning snuggles

An 80 Degree Day In Feb!

We managed to find ourselves some fabulous British friends in West LA. Turns out they have 2 boys the same age as Levi and Felix, Arthur and Ernie. We spent a day at the beach with them this week and enjoyed the 80 degree weather!

Gus Gus turns 3 months!


 Baby Gus is 3 months old! He's the most talkative of the boys and makes cooing noises all day long. He's genuinely happy all day long. He's a busy bee. Already trying to sit up, roll over and kicks the air continuously. We love him to bits!




Practicing his cooing


He's a big stretcher


I love his toes in this picture


Levi and I gave him his 1st swing ride and he thought it was so funny!
