More of G

If you would like to see some super cute pictures of a super cute boy visit Meg's blog at http://homedog-m.blogspot.com/. I LOVE the one of the box! Too cute.

Since I am here, I might as well put up another G-pic...

...or two......three is a good round number :)

Over the hills, and through the snow...

The last time I saw my family in WA state, I was 5 months pregnant, Gavin is now over a year so this trip was long overdue. The flight, which I had been dreading since we planned the trip, was not all that bad, and Gavin handled it quite well.
Gavin and Grandma

The "neat" little trick, D taught Gavin of climbing over the couch from the changing table (Grandpa helping him along). That will come in handy...

Khelani was born a month after G and I was so excited to meet her! She was such a little girl!! Everything she did was so much more "dainty" then the way G did things. No one can convince me boys and girls are the same, these two were prime examples of sugar/spice and everything nice vs. snails & puppy dog tails! Plus, she has a neck, I never realized Gavin was missing his until he sat next to her! They got along well and played along side eachother. She has such a sweet little Mona Lisa smile, and the biggest brown eyes I've ever seen, arrgh! I miss her already... Wade and K wrestling...
My Nephew Toby, was also visiting from Alaska (we missed the rest of ya'll!). He is three and was such a great sport to play with the two babies. He would hold G's hand and walk him around, and then lovingly steal his toy (and Matt, my son totally beat up your son!)! It was a hoot to watch, I think the futare holds some fun for these two!

I have tons of pictures to post, so check back soon for more...

Buddies

Gavin has tons of admiring female friends but he also has several good male buddies. One of them is Nate, who we are fortunate to have as a neighbor, he is kind enough to offer to come and play with Gavin so that I can get things done...

We are off to visit family in WA. state for several days, I will post some pics when we get back. Until then...

Easter Sunday

I hope everyone had a nice Easter. Our was great, after a very special church service we went to

CraigFest 2 and had crablegs (my favorite!) and lottsa good food. Later Gavin had his first Easter egg hunt...

It was so cute, I seriously wanted to gag! He was wobbling about and putting each egg in his basket, you would think he had done it before. Inside were "puffs" and he enjoyed opening each one...Gavin's smokin' hot Daddy.I have a bunch of pictures I would like to post from the latest couple weeks. If you all feed my need for attention and post some comments I will put them up quicker!

Hammock Time

We have had a couple perfect days thrown into the last week, amid the tornado inducing weather and downpours. On one of those days we went for a walk and had an impromptu jump-roping hammock party at the neighbors house.

Karis and Gavin chillaxen in the hammock...

Trevon is super sweet with Gavin and is always giving him hugs and talking with him. They spent some playtime together last week and when I went to pick him up G was so excited to tell me about everthing they did together, he is getting very adept at using gestures, and inflection while he speaks Gavinese.Here is a bonus picture taken by our good friends...

For Tamara

Who knows, maybe we have a future Aggie on our hands...
Oh, I am also very much late on the birthday pics. Here is a cake shot as promised. Maybe some time before his second birthday I can get some additional images up!

Not Doing So Good...

at this whole blog thing. I'm thinking about combining my two blogs, wouldn't that double my chances to posting to one of them!? :)

So I have tons of pics I need to get up here. Gavin has had his first birthday so I need to post the obligatory cake-shot. His birthday was just about perfect. Everyone was there who was present for his birth, except Mom and Amie Jo (who I have to thank for documenting in pictures-the birth!), hence the "almost perfect" part of the last sentence. It was small and sweet and the kids all played so nicely together.

Angie and Tony were able to stay for the week and spend lots of time with G. Dustin and I took advantage of the free childcare and went out with friends to see U2 3-D, that was fun, I swear some of Bono's sweat got in my eye! We had a great time with our friends Dave n' Gwen that night, I love being around people who like to laugh! We also saw Shake Russel perform, he sings Texas folk-rock, and Gwen really likes him, so we made the trek to Beaumont to watch him perform at a quirky little cafe, good times.

Let me see, what else...We saw the movie Cloverfield, which I loved. I am a sucker for a good monster movie so it joins my list of top 10 favorites. If you see it be prepared to get sick, it is filmed with a hand held camera and I could have used some Dramamine.

Well, this week I will purpose to get some Birthday pics up, and try to post at least twice!

G-pic of the day...
