Peek-A-Boo

Gavin's latest pose for the camera...

and his other latest...

A boy, sand, and a dog

Gavin loves to explain things and tell stories. Not sure what this story was about but I am sure it was a whopper.


Our dear friend Catherine dropped off some sand for G's sandbox, perfect timing, the weather has been awesome the past couple days and Gavin has spent hours in the sand. Here he is tormenting Skeeter, by throwing sand at her whenever she walks by...

Fighting over a stick.

Skeeter spitting sand out of her mouth...

First Hair Cut

Gavin had his first haircut last weekend. I picked a place that catered to kids thinking that would ease the process....
In hindsight I think it was a little too much for him, the singing movie, bubbles, and total stranger approaching with a sharp object did not help.

Pre-Shorn and unknowing...



Both the guys had haircuts that day, although Dustin was not quite as fussy and opted for a different salon (or whatever guys call it). 

Christmas Day

I wanted to get some pictures up before 2009 is officially here...

G and John reading a story on Gavin's new gigantic bear (courtesy of Baw-Baw and Gracie).



Gavin loves his books! *Happy Sigh* on my part.
Opening presents took FOREVER, as Gavin wanted to actually play and explore each item he received.  I am sure this is the only year we will encounter this!
A rare family portrait, seriously what do I have to do to get some family pics!

Merry Christmas!!

We are celebrating Christ's Birth in 70+ degree weather, what about ya'll?!

We hope everyone has a wonderful day and I will post more pictures from our day soon!!

Merry Christmas!!

GrandPops Part Deux

The only picture I took of G on Thanksgiving. Weird.

Dad and G at Carrie's Coffee Mill, this is a great place to take the kids for a afternoon out. Plenty of animals, swingsets, and things to do. Plus it is owned by a really neat family...

A Visit From GrandPops and Alligators

My Dad came down for a visit over Thanksgiving and we had a great time visiting all the nearby State Parks.  Brazos Bend State Park, was voted one of the top State Parks in the country and once we got there we understood why.

We saw millions of birds (literally. They flew in at dusk and a thick cloud of them stretched as far as the eye could see, this continued for at least 20 minutes), plenty of armadillos, and got a little too close to some over-friendly alligators.

This one swam right up to us and kept a very close on Gavin. So did we. 


Gavin enjoyed the dock and watching the gators.  I felt the rails could have been just a Little higher!

Dustin grabbed a shot of us under this beautiful Live Oak.  The picture does not capture how massive it was.

Gavin ready to move on...


If you are in the area, I would highly recommend going to this gorgeous state park!

Oh, and by the way, it snowed today. In Houston Texas. I have no pictures , crazy it was near 80 degrees yesterday!
