Gavin & Lily

It was so much fun being pregnant at the same time as my niece Sarah - but it is even more fun watching our kids grow up together! Lily was born on August 12th and Gavin on September 9th of 2008. Here are some cute pictures to show the progression!

Let It Snow!

These pictures were taken on Thanksgiving morning - it was SO cold outside so I wouldn't let Gavin stay out in the snow very long, but the time he did have, he loved it!


Yo Gabba Gabba Live!

We took Gavin to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live in Spokane - if you've never heard of Yo Gabba Gabba, consider yourself lucky! :) It's one of his favorite TV shows and overall it was worth it, he was terrified of our seats because we were only 5 rows back and the characters were so close.  We ended up going up on the balcony as far away as we could get and then he chilled out a little and had fun.  He still talks about it and watching the video clips I took is a daily must do around our house!  Here are a few pictures...

October Wrap Up

Man, I have been slacking at the blog lately.  The older Gavin gets, the less time I have to sit at the computer when I'm home!  Anyhoo, here are a few pictures of what we did...
Went to the pumpkin patch - he had a lot more fun this year...so much fun that he screamed and cried the entire way home because he didn't want to leave.
Finally a family picture where we're all looking at the camera - poor Gavin needs some sunglasses though!
 We carved pumpkins - maybe next year he can use a carving tool but for this year I made him use a pen :)
My adorable little monkey!  We took him to a trick-or-treat event in town and he was a little shy, but he definitely got into it more than last year. He was saying "treat!" and would hold his bucket out for candy.  He had more fun at home though, grabbing big handfuls of candy and putting them into the trick-or-treaters bags that came to our house.  I was so worried he wouldn't let me put his costume on him like last year, but he loved it this year and didn't want to take it off!  I already can't wait for next year - being a mom is so much fun and allows you to get to be a kid all over again...I love it! :)
