NEW PICTURES

Amy and I took Gavin and Taylor out to take pictures again. There was a really old tractor sitting out there and I got some cute ones of Gavin by it.

GYMBOREE PLAY & MUSIC

We signed Gavin up for the Gymboree Play and Music class and it is really cool! There is so many things for him to climb on and play with. They sing really cute songs and keep them very entertained. There are a lot of kids in the class and it is cool to see how he interacts with other kids. He seems to really like it a lot.

FUN WITH THE HOSE

When we are outside, Gavin loves to go straight for the hose. He tries to pick it up and swing it around. When it was really hot, we turned it on and he tried to drink it and got soaking wet.

LEMON

We went to Dukes in Huntington Beach to eat lunch last week and Gavin sucked on a lemon for a really long time. He really likes it!




He wasn't too sure about the sand

LAS GAVIOTAS

Last weekend, we loaded up last minute and drove to my mom and Robert's house in Mexico. It was a very quick trip, but we had fun. Gavin didn't want to cooperate with the picture taking, so I didn't get as many as I would have liked. The weather was perfect and it was so pretty there.

GAVIN IS WALKING!!

Gavin has been taking 4-5 steps for the past week and yesterday, he stood up and started walking! He wouldn't do it if I stood him up, he wanted to do it all by himself. I just can't believe he is already walking. This video is really dark and horrible, but you can see him walking.


GAVIN UPDATE
I have been off work since the end of June and it has been so nice to spend every day with Gavin. He has been doing a lot of new things and I have been able to see them all. He has started to get a little more feisty and lets us know what he really wants. Him and Taylor have started to really fight and scream at each other. It is actually pretty funny to watch! He eats a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, grilled cheese, quesadillas, yogurt, and he loves chips. He babbles a lot and still pretends to talk on the phone with everything. He feeds Zoee from the highchair and thinks it is really funny because she sits pretty for him. He empties all the cupboards and drawers that we don't want him to get into. He loves to scrunch his face and blow in and out of his nose. He fake laughs when he wants attention in the car. I will have to add more as I remember it.

2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Today is our wedding anniversary. I can't believe it has been 2 years already. I was going to post pictures of things we have done in the past 2 years, but I have too many to pick from, so I am sticking to the wedding. I am so thankful to have such a great husband!!

PIRATE GAVIN

A couple of months ago, I borrowed this wooden pirate ship from my assistant principal at school and used it for pictures -Thanks Trevor!! We took Gavin under the pier at the beach and took some pictures to use at the party and for the invitation. They came out so cute. I never posted them because I didn't know which ones I was going to use. I want to share them now that it is all over! Here's a couple of my favorites.

EATING CAKE

My sister and I got so many cute pictures of Gavin eating cake at his party and that it makes it hard to choose which ones to post. To make it easy and really cute, Amy put the cute ones she got into this collage. Thanks Aunt Amy!!

GAVIN'S PIRATE PALOOZA

We had Gavin's first birthday party last Saturday even though his real birthday isn't until next Tuesday. We decided to celebrate a couple of weeks early because Andy and Summer were visiting from Nebraska and we wanted them to be there. Anyway, it turned out really nice and we had a great time, it was just SO HOT. We rented a big tent and hung misters all the way down one side and I think that really saved us. I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked of the decorations and all of the people, but everything looked really cute. The balloons went flat right away and the party store told me that it was from the humidity. I can't believe it is all over.
**THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR COMING AND CELEBRATING WITH US!








Friends from Work

Grandma and Papa: Thank you so much for all of the help with getting ready for the party! We really appreciate it. We love you.
