Utah Trip

Everyone calls lins "Texas" so I had these shirts made

One month apart





Well I decided on Tues. feb. 23rd at 8:00 pm that I would go to Utah on Wed morning. Talk about spontaneous.!!! I surprised Linsey to watch her play a couple of basketball games. Gavin did great on the plane, and the day we left he REALLY started walking. I couldn't believe it!!! We got to spend the next few days playing with Linsey, Corby, Katie, Brent, Lori, Analise, Tommye, Brylee, and ofcourse Nana. We had so much. We hardly slept, and had a blast. I love going to visit family. I wish they lived closer. We really miss them. We watched two of Linsey's games, and then just hung out the rest of the time. It was a crazy trip, but so worth it.

One of those days

Oh how I wish this child would take a nap with me every once in a while. It was a rainy, foggy day and I wanted him to snuggle, but no way. He has always wanted his own space, which most the time I love, but today I was a little sad he wouldn't just lay beside me like a newborn. So, I decided to sneak into his room a take a couple of pictures while he was sleeping. What is it about a baby sleeping that makes u want another one or ten for that matter? I miss having a little, tiny, cuddly baby in my arms. So sweet and innocent. Like i said it was just one of those days....A rainy, foggy day that made me reminisce.

1st Hair Cut

Gavin had his first hair cut a while back. It was the day before his birthday party in Texas. I just have not posted any pictures yet. He did really well, and his hair looks sooo much better. We just trimmed the ends, so it was above his ears. I don't want to give him a real hair cut until he is much older. I have to keep him looking like a baby as long as possible. :) Writing this post makes me wonder now where I put his baggie of baby hair. Hmmmm....I should find that!!!

V-day weekend

Well we had a great valentines weekend. Shawn and I got to go on a movie date Sat. night. I sooooo needed that. We had so much fun walking around. I love being a mom, but sometimes you just need a night out with the hubby. Shawn gave me beautiful flowers and made his amazing cream sauce.(yummy, yummy,) It was a pretty low key day on Sunday. I made Gavin pink pancakes, and he had pink milk too. I couldn't get a very good picture of Gavin.( he wouldn't stay still). All in All we had a fun weekend. Here is a pic of Gavin last year, and now. He looks so grown up!!!!

Lovin the cake
Shawn gave Gavin a bath and decided since it was his d-day
he could go to a Toga party. Lucky!!!

Well, yesterday was Gavin's official b-day. We had a fun day and a crazy snow storm. Last year at this time there was a tornado 2 miles from our house. Crazy weather!!! He of course got a cake and a cheap ball from Walmart. This time the ball is made of plastic, so he won't be able to eat it like the nerf one I gave him for x-mas. Oops!! We played in the snow and I sang Happy Birthday to him like 30 times. He had no idea what was going on, but it was fun for me. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. He puts a smile on our face every day. ( I know one day that will not always be the case. ) He definitely is our little sunshine!!!

Welcome to the party

On Sat. we had Gavins birthday. It was a few days early, but I had alot of family in town for Hailey's play so we decided to go ahead and have it. It was so much fun for me to plan for this. I was a little sick to be honest. I got way into it. It was a bit over the top, but it turned out perfect. Everything I planned work out and looked exactly like I wanted. I had so much fun. It had a cupcake and #1 theme. I can't thank my mom, and family, and of course Keisha for helping me pull it off. I just can't believe he is one already. Time has just flown by. He is doing some really cute things like...trying to walk, wanting to see what we are looking at on a camera or phone, turning his head to the side to look at people, starting to cuddle more, and giving lots of kisses. He loves ducks right now, and hate's veggies. His personality is really coming out, and we love it. I know in the next few months he will really be changing. Where did my baby go (sniff sniff)??? Anyways, it was a great weekend with family and friends!!! There are tons of pic. so beware.

Don't even know where to begin

Ok. So, it's been awhile (like almost 7 months.) I don't have a reason for not blogging but I'm trying to do better. The summer and Fall just flew by. Shawn is half way done with law school, and gavin will be one in a few weeks. It makes me sick to be honest. I can't believe I don't have a baby anymore. Where did the time go? I'll let most the pic do the talking. We did have a wonderful Christmas break. We spent Christmas with my family in New Mexico and then went up to Montana for New Years. 2010 is going to be a great year!!!!
