My Sweet Boy!

We are having such an amazing week here at the Searles House!

We found out that Brett got a new position at work!!!!
WITH A WAY BETTER SCHEDULE!!!!!
I am so proud of him!!!!
Gage is crazy and all over the place! We are loving it!
This teething process really isn't our favorite..but we are getting through it!
Gage used to Love to play with the toys on his saucer... now he just likes to sit in the "bowl" part!
It was too funny to see how proud of himself he was once he got in there!

*He did it! haha
*This smile is just the best!!!!!
We can't seem to get enough of it!!!!!!!

Oh How I Love This Boy!!!!

There are so many priceless moments being a parent..
When I can capture the true essence of who Gage really is,
It makes me SOOO happy!!!!!
Barbie got Gage this really cool barn, that has 4 animals in it and they all make noise!
He LOVES it!!!!
The Duck is his favorite, in case you can't tell from the picture!
Barbie always seems to find the funnest toys!
Thanks Barbie!!!!!!!!

What!- Teeth!!!!

Alright, the day has come that my little man gets teeth!
Not just 1...but 2!
They popped through within a week of each other!
So crazy!
We have tried to get some pictures...but he always covers the teeth with his tongue.
So, as soon as i can snap a decent picture of the pearly whites, I will post it!

Palm Springs!

Last Sunday Brett and I were talking and I sad that I would Love to go surprise Tyf, and her kiddos in Palm Springs the next day,(Michael was going on a business trip and she would be there alone...BORING!) So, I packed up Gage's stuff and My stuff for 4 days, and first thing Monday morning we were on our way!

It was so exciting to be on my way to Palm Springs and Tyf have NO IDEA!!!!!
When Tyf saw that I was there, she could not believe it!!!! It was the best EVER!
Cash on the other hand wanted to know "Where's my Untle Bwett??"
Apparently Gage and I aren't enough! Whatever!
Being there and getting away for just a couple of days was so amazing..
But, I for sure missed Brett like crazy!
Tyf and I had so much fun shopping together and just having some sister time after the munchkins went down for the night! (We love the Bachelor!)


*Gage had so much fun with his cousins!!!! He LOVES Reese so much!
*Yes it was cold, and yes they are "NAKEN" and YES they had a ball playing in the bucket of rain water!

*It was so funny to have 2 babies on the same schedule, pretty much needing exactly the same thing at the same time! We aren't used to the idea of Twins haha!
*Gage just chillin' watching us cook I think!

*Oh Carter-Girl...How I LOVE you!!!!

And once again Tyf and I get together and not 1 picture of anyone over the age of 4!
We really have to get on top of that!
It was so fun to be with them this past week! And We miss you guys already!!!!!

6 month Check-Up!

*Gage in the car on the way to the Doctor.
Gage was in such a good mood this morning before his Doctor's appointment!
He had a great breakfast with Daddy, and was just so happy!

Gage got 3 shots today, and only cried for maybe 30 seconds!!!!
He was so tough today!!!!!

Crazy Week!

We have been so busy around here this past week!

My sister and her husband went out of town and we all helped with their kiddos,
Cash was with us from Tuesday until Saturday Evening! We had fun having him here!
On Saturday My parents and I took Tyf's kids and Gage of course to Uncle Austin 's Baseball game!
The kids had so much fun eating all of Barbie's snacks, and playing catch with Papa...not too much game watching going on there! But they did yell VERY loud for Uncle when he was batting!
*Gage was watching the game very intently.. while Carter was too busy watching what I was doing!
*This is probably Cash asking for more of Barbie's snacks!
"Hey Barbie..Where dat come from??"-Cash HAHA

On Sunday, My mom and I had so much fun making Bloomin' Onions!!!!
They tasted just like Outback and we made the famous sauce too!!!!
SOOOOO YUMMY!!!!!

*This was before the stove caught on fire!!!!!
Good thing My Dad and Brett were there to save the day!
Mom and I are not too good around HOT OIL!

*I know you want to just taste this through the screen!
Tonight we gave Gage his "mesh bag" with a handle!

It was too funny watching him go to town with this thing full of bananas!
Brett and I ate dinner and he just attacked the banana!
And today is also Gage's HALF BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
We can not believe that we have a 6 month old!!!!
It is so much fun watching him change everyday!
(Brett says we are 1/4 of the way to TERRIBLE 2'S!)

Happy Half Birthday Gage!!!!!
We Love You!!!!

It's Official...

I AM THE WORST BLOGGER EVER!!!!!

It seems like every time I think about updating our blog, I think of 12 other things that sit 1 spot higher on my priority list like dishes, laundry, changing sheets, cleaning bathrooms, and all that fun stuff!
But, I have been pretty bad thee past couple of weeks with taking pictures, and right now is when Gage is changing EVERYDAY! It is so crazy!
*We got Gage this awesome "Bath ring" it helps him sit up on his own, and he LOVES the freedom! We just sit and laugh at him sinking his toys!
*Well folks...We have entered in to Sippy Cup stage! He LOVES to chew on the top, but is so proud of him self when he gets a good suction and actually gets a drink! Too Cute!
Ok this outfit was too cute to not take a picture!
*Barbie was trying to hold him up, so yes it looks like he is wearing a muscle shirt! HAHA
But Please note his NIKE running shoes!!!!!!

*In case you couldn't see them very well... here is a better picture of the Shoes!!!!
He was cracking me up!

I promise for real this time that I will update more than once every 2 weeks.... SORRY!
