YoBaby!

Gavin made "Babies of the Week" for the YoBaby Yogurt website. As you will see by the number of pictures, it's obvious that they pretty much take everyone! It's still cute! Check him out at http://www.yobabyyogurt.com/.

Happy 18 Months, Gavin!!




Happy BELATED 5 Months, Gunner!

Our Wedding

Clint and I will be celebrating two years of marital bliss on March 25th. In honor of this AND the fact that I just received my wedding album I thought I would post a few pictures of our wedding. I could not find my cd of the wedding nor do I have a scanner so I borrowed these pictures from my sister-in-law, Cynthia. I plan to post more on the 25th!

Little Piggies

Our chunky monkey has finally found his little piggies since my last post! He now LOVES to have bare feet so he can play with them and attempt to put them in his mouth. The last picture is of Gavin a couple weeks younger than Gunner is now.

Happy Birthday, Uncle Josh!


We love you! Go Cards!

Happy Valentine's Day, Mommy!

My two darling sons gave me my best Valentine's Day ever! First, Gunner starting rolling over completely from back to front again and again! He still hasn't found his feet yet so it's taking him longer than it did Gavin! Then, Gavin went pee pee in his potty before he got in the bath! We're not officially starting to potty train him but he pees in the tub every night before he sits down. We figured we might as well supply him with a potty to pee in instead! The first night he peed on the floor while examining the potty, I believe while picture number 2 was being taken. Last night, I poured bath water on him and it helped him pee! YAY Gavin!

Our Ride!!

This time of year last year we had to come up with an invention to entertain Gavin while he was teething. Daddy decided to attach a rope to the laundry basket and make it into a car. We pimped Gavin's ride but it fell apart once he got a few months older. It's now "that time of year again" for Gunner! Aunt Maria made a basket just for Gunner when he was born that we can now make great use of! As you can see, Gavin got a little more of a kick out of it this first time!
Hang on bro, I need to get this steering down!
Man, Gunner, you are a load!
This isn't fair...I am older so I should be the driver!!

I always get my way with Shrek!

Fine...you can sit by me!

To My Grown-up Son

"My hands were busy through the day
I didn't have much time to play
The little games you asked me to.
I didn't have much time for you.

"I'd wash your clothes, I'd sew and cook,
But when you'd bring your picture book
And ask me, please, to share your fun,
I'd say, 'A little later, son.'

"I'd tuck you in all safe at night,
And hear your prayers, turn out the light,
Then tiptoe softly to the door.
I wish I'd stayed a minute more.

"For life is short, and years rush past,
A little boy grows up so fast.
No longer is he at your side.
His precious secrets to confide.

"The picture books are put away,
There are no children's games to play,
No good night kiss, no prayers to hear.
That all belongs to yesteryear.

"My hands once busy, now lie still
The days are long and hard to fill.
I wish I might go back and do
The little things you asked me to."

Bathtime Buddy!


Gavin enjoyed entertaining his little brother during Gunner's first big boy bath, although he kept trying to get him out of the chair so he could sit in it. It made bathtime go a little bit faster!

MESSY!


I am quite sure this cute little face should be on the box for Quaker oatmeal!

A DQ Day

There are some days when I really long for a DQ treat...today was one of those days! Not knowing the temps where supposed to warm up and considering we got about an inch of ice balls on the ground yesterday, I didn't even open up the door to see what the weather was like outside. Gavin gave me a clue that he REALLY wanted to go out when he put on his boots and daddy's hat and went and got gloves and a scarf. I then opened the door and realized it was in the 60's! We ate a quick lunch, got dressed, and headed out the door for a stroller ride! About two minutes into the ride, both boys where zonked out. This gave mommy the chance to take a lap around town-somewhere around 3 miles. My knees and back are killing me for it now! About two blocks from home I was sweating and craving a butterfinger blizzard or a crunch cone....but not enough to drive 20 miles to get one!
OK, now can I go outside?
I love it when you give in to me, mommy!
I'll drive!
Come on, Gunner, you can come too!
Going outside puts me in such a good mood!
Can we take my prized football?

The great outdoors!
