Easter

This is sooo late, but I figured even though I couldn't get a good picture of Gavin I still needed to document his Easter. This kid will not sit still. Every time I would put the basket next to him, he would dig in. Yea, 3 hours of church trying to get him to sit on my lap is so much fun. Anyways, enough about the busy bee. We had a great Easter. We watched conference, and were pretty lazy. I don't even think we got out of our PJ's all day. Gavin of course loved his basket that the Easter Bunny left. He has been playing with the plastic eggs ever since. It was sad for me to remember last Easter when we blessed Gavin in church. He was so tiny!!! I love the stage that he is in now, but I also miss a baby being around. He is getting so funny. Here a few cute things he is doing lately.

• He loves to turn on/off the lights or "Yights" as he says
• When I tell him we are going bye bye, he starts saying bye bye over and over again, and walks to the front door.
  
• He loves to wrestle with a pillow. It is so funny
• He is getting into everything, EVERYTHING
• Once gavin is up in the morning Shawn will bring him into our room to wake me up. He puts gavin on our bed, and Gavin crawls as fast as he can saying "mama", and gives me a kiss. Now that is a great way to wake up!!!
• He is starting to run.
• He loves being outside
• He won't keep his shoes on. He would rather be playing with them
• He flirts with everyone
• He has four teeth on top, and three on the bottom
• He loves reading books. Over and Over
• He laughs the hardest when Shawn throws him up in the air
• Still not a fan of veggies.
  
• He loves bath time, and never wants to get out

My list could go on and on. I love being a mom. We are having so much fun being parents. What a blessing!!! PS:I hate my camera. One of the first things I'm doing when we are out of law school, and Shawn has a job is buying a new camera. This one is not cutting it. :)

One cute boy

He did not want to stand at all

Trying to bride him with a toy to sit still
Bath time- He was so happy
Just a few pictures of Gavin. He was wearing one of my favorite church outfits, so I had to get a picture. Trying to get this boy to stay still and smile for a picture is way to much work. He was having a bad morning to say the least. Anyways, it also shows off his new hair cut. I love it. Enjoy

Zoo/ my b-day

My b-day night

All the zoo goer's





During Shawn's spring break we went down to Texas for a few days. We had so much fun. We went to the zoo, and celebrated my 28th b-day. Linsey came down for the week too. We ate, went shopping, went to the park, and relaxed. It was a nice break for me because I had like 5 other people to help watch gavin. I just go and do as I please and someone always want to watch him. It is great!!!! For my b-day my mom made a fabulous shrimp dinner!!! It was so yummy!!

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!!!!
