4th of July

"Superman"





Watching Fireworks

We had a great weekend. Jordan came to see us (Linsey) for the 4th so we planned it big. Hurricane Harbor, Fireworks, Transformers, and more wedding planning. Gavin loved the fireworks this year. Although it was way too HOT, we loved every minute. PS. I know Gavin is in every picture, I just can't help it. :)

Potty training blues

First off, Gavin is doing great with potty training. He has had a few accidents, like on the counter at the movie's when I was buying him some candy. Embarrassing is an understatement!!!!! For the most part though he runs up to me and says, "momma momma pee pee in the potty." He goes everywhere in underwear, and is becoming a pro. The "blues" refers to me. I hate it!! Yes, I'm glad to be done with diapers, but there are a few things I hate. One, all the potty talk. I can't stand talking about #1 or #2 all day long. Asking him if he has to go, making him go, or doing a potty dance when he does. Two, that for the most part he runs around the house in underwear or wants to be naked. At times layers are way too hard for a two year old to pull down to make it to the potty. I prefer my child to be dressed, but lately he looks like a ragamuffin. Oh well. In no time he will run and go all by himself and I won't even know it. (Can't wait)
At least it's still a cute booty. I just want to pitch it
After it rained one night Gavin wanted to go outside and play in the mud. (One of his favorite things to do). It worked great with potty training. I went out to get a couple of pictures of him covered in mud and he felt the need to show me around the backyard. Like it was my first time out there. First he cooked me breakfast.

"Eggs Momma"

"Momma, make-up on" I miss the days when he called make-up "oh pretty"


"Momma pow-pow" Oh, you didn't know that everything can be turned into a gun?!?!
"Hold you Momma, Hold you." Yes he means "hold me." I love that he says it wrong.

How to keep a "Busy Boy," busy

After Graduation we went into mad packing. I had already gone through ever inch of our apartment, so everything we had left was ready to pack. It made life much easier those two weeks. Although I was very organized and started packing at the end of April, it was very hard to keep Gavin out of our way. We had plenty to do, and watching Toy Story just wasn't cutting it. So I got creative. He played with bubbles inside, went "swimming" in the ice chest, painted the windows with water, and played in the second bathroom sink for hours. There may be a little water damage but we got our full deposit back so who cares, right???? Needless to say it kept this "Busy Boy" busy.

No more ear infections-Maybe???

After the medicine kicked in
After surgery He feel asleep on my shoulder. This has happen about 5 times in his life. I loved it

At home recovering...Fell asleep on the couch with a fruit snack in his mouth. This has happen all of two times in his life.

In April Gavin had surgery to have his adenoids taking out, and tubes put in. I was really nervous, and couldn't wait for the day to come and go. The day wasn't too bad. I was afraid that Gavin was going to freak out, but they have wonderful medicine for that. :) He did have a few fits after he got out of surgery, but over all did great. It was a long day, so glad it 's over. He hasn't had an ear infections since. Keeping our fingers crossed!!!!

Law School Gradutaion

We had such a fun weekend. Shawn's parents flew in, my parents and sisters came up from Texas, Kyle and Hollie drove from Tulsa, and Keisha came from Arkansas. It was quit the group!!! We went to downtown okc, ate at spaghetti warehouse, and then walked to get icecream. On sunday, we had an early BBQ lunch and then headed to graduation. It was pretty emotional for me. It just blows me away that we are done with law school, and all of Shawn's hard work has paid off. I'm sooooo proud of him. 8 years ago he said he wanted to get his degree, then head to law school, and now he is done. We loved having his parents stay with us. It was so nice to have some one on one time with them. We stayed up way too late talking each night. We were sad to see them leave. We are so grateful for all the support are families have given us. We have a few more hurdles to jump over (pass the bar, and finding a job) but we are glad to be done with school. Shawn says he never wants to walk into a classroom again.It was a weekend filled with love, lots of laughter, and even some tears

Easter

We had a great easter weekend. On Saturday night we had a ward party. Gavin loved riding the pony, playing basketball, and easter egg hunting. Then Sunday the easter bunny came to our house.
