Find JOY in the JOURNEY

The past few weeks I have really been thinking about my boys and how fast time with them is going. I honestly get tears in my eyes thinking about it. I want time to just FREEZE. I love being a mom and enjoy our everyday activities together. Since it has gotten warmer, we have been going swimming twice a week, to story time, to the movies, and the park with friends. I spend as much time with my boys as I can and I still feel like its not enough. With every SPEEDY day, they are growing up way too fast for me. Griffin and Gavin are my life and they are at such fun stages. 

Griffin is such a handsome little man. He is almost 4 and every day he makes me smile with his curious questions. He honestly is such a good kid. He is my sweetheart and I love watching him learn and grow. He is very protective and loving towards his little brother and he is very excited for his "baby girl sister" He is so tender hearted and when either Bry or I get upset with him he is so concerned "you mad at me" and if we even raise our voice or get after him he says "I will take you back to work" because I guess he wants the "not nice" parent to leave. When he gets sent to the naughty couch, I will tell him his time is up and sometimes he tells me "I am not done being mad" and will sit there for an extra 5 to 10 minutes (who does that?) I love that he is starting to use his imagination, it is so funny when I call his name and he will say "I am Bat Man"  I love that he always wants to be helping out whether it is making dinner with me or helping dad on a project he has a deep interest and wants to help. 

Gavin is my little Tasmanian devil. So full of energy and mischievous and soooo cute.He is talking so much and trying to put all the words into sentences and I love listening to him. He has this little attitude like nemo when his dad says "don't touch the boat" Gavin has his "what if I do attitude". He is the polar opposite of Griffin in many ways. I have the hardest time even getting him to sit for his 1 minute timeout and he thinks that the rules don't apply to him. He is all boy and very into tractors and diggers right now. He asks "what you doing" all day long and is very interested in what is going on. I LOVE LOVE my boys and I love how much they love their dad and want to be just like him.

I am honestly getting pretty excited to have another baby and to start all over with all the fun different stages. It will be a whole new experience with a girl, but I am ready for it... so maybe time can freeze after she is here. I am going to miss these little guys being little. I am constantly taking their pictures and have been video taping just everyday stuff because everything is changing SO fast. I have heard so many people say how fast their kids grew up and that it doesn't last long. I am TOTALLY feeling that right now. I feel like I just had Griffin not that long ago and now we are going to be a family of 5 in June and I am the one say "where did the time go?"
