Our Family

The Shaw Family

Doug & I were married on October 6, 2005 in the Salt Lake Temple. We are currently living in the Dallas, Texas area. We have two sons, Gavin Douglas born September 18, 2009 & Liam Robert born October 14, 2011. We are so happy to be a family of four & love our boys so much! It is always one adventure after another in this house.

A little of this, a little of that


 This is some of the random happenings that we have been up to as of late.

 The boys get SUPER excited when Daddy comes home from school! The minute he walks in the door Gavin & Liam demand his attention. I think it's really cute & love getting the break. I know Doug loves it too. Although I'm sure he'd love to be able to put his bags down & sit for a bit before being mauled by these two crazy kids. The boys get very jealous of each other when it comes to Dad time so Doug is having to get creative on how to play with both at the same time, doing the same thing.

It's a bird...it's a plane..it's SUPER BOYS!



Running errands with the boys can be sometimes difficult. It's always nice when Aunt Laura comes along. I say that for me because she lends a helping hand. I also say it for Gavin because he is quite good at getting her to buy him things. This is an example: G: "Lawrah, you have your purse?" L: "Yes..." G: "You have monies?" L: "Yes..." G: "Lawrah? You buy me a treat?!" As he gives the most adorable little look. It's hard for her to resist as it would anyone. :) 

Here he is sporting one of his 'treats' from Aunt Laura. This kid will do anything to be Super Hero!

One afternoon Doug was watching the boys & sent me this picture of Gavin snoozing in his 'special bed'. You can't tell, but its a laundry hamper filled with blankets. 

A quick trip to Costco. I love that they can sit side by side here & Gavin doesn't have to be in the back. Aren't they the cutest little guys ever?!

One of my friends told me that some food trucks were coming to her apartment complex one night. We joined them for some yummy tacos! This was my first time ever eating from a food truck. I must say it was very yummy & fun to do.

 
When we bought our house they community gave us a free year membership to the Young At Art Museum just down the road. We finally made it there & loved it! Well we never made it past the toddler section, but were there for a couple hours. Gavin & Liam both had a good time. I think this is going to become a weekly visit. :)
 
 We got to go out on a date on a Monday night with some friends. We tried this place called RA Sushi. I'm not a big raw seafood/seafood fan, but I am trying to better at trying new things. It was delicious! And going during happy hour made it even better because we got a ton of food for super cheap. Score!

The conversation between Gavin and "Lawrah" was adorable!! I wouldn't be able to resist either. Looks like she'll have "forget" her wallet if she ever wants to break that habit, haha!

Collin loves the shopping carts at Sam's too since he gets to sit up front with Weston! He requests that store specifically for that reason. I don't love how much they fight though. :(

Holy cow, Gavin's hair is getting LONG!! Look at that beach bum! :)

I'm so glad you commented on my blog so I could find your blog!
Your boys are seriously darling. I wish our community gave us a free young at art pass. That place is legit!!!
See you this afternoon (I promise I'll make it there today)
