TEXAS!!!!

The Dr. Pepper Museum








We made a last minute decision to go to Texas this year for Thanksgiving to see Makenna and Merrill and the kids. When I say last minute decision I mean...we got our tickets Tuesday night and left the Wednesday before turkey day. We had a great time just relaxing and watching pretty much all the Harry Potter movies and built lots of lego stuff and just played. Gavin loved playing with his cousins so much, I wish they could grow up next to each other. Sooo... I think I'm going back in January! Enjoy the photos, there is more on Facebook too.

Gavin had a ton of energy tonight after dinner. It's like someone put soda in his chicken and rice. I would fake laugh, and Gavin was shaking his head like a mad man and running at the same time. We had two really good face plants...but he was back up in no time doing it again.

Birthday Dinner

Happy 23rd Birthday Natalie! Yummy sushi dinner to celebrate! Woot Woot!

Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch at Bates Nut Farm!!! This is my favorite time of year, I love pumpkins! Gavin liked riding in the wheel barrow (though his face is cold as ice) I tried taking him out of the wheel barrow and he threw a fit. (must take after his dad...dont take him away from something fun.) He was a little skeptical of being surrounded by pumpkins. He would look at you like "how the heck do I get outta this mess!" We went to see the animals, he loved the goats and the chickens! Each person in the family got their own pumpkin to carve for our PaRtY on Saturday! Woot Woot!!!

The Sand Box

So Ren built Gavin a sand box! I should say... in all seriousness... Ren built REN a sand box and Gavin gets to use it. Regardless, both of them love to play in it! They both love pushing the sand around and filling up the Tonka trucks. They both love it so much so that they both cried when I said it was time to come in so G could take his nap. Boys eh'!

Finger Painting

My Dad came over today, and for Gavin's birthday present Grandpa did a finger painting project with him. It was so fun! G loved playing with the paint brushes and of course sticking his fingers in the paint. My Dad made me a huge wooden frame a while ago, so we're going to frame it in that and hang it in his room! It was so messy and so fun!

One the casting judges pick for the Gap baby, and theres the "fan favorite" where you can sign in ONCE A DAY and vote for your favorite. Whoever has the most with the Fan favorite gets a prize (its like a popularity contest.) Everyone has always told me I should enter him in the Gap thing so here I go.
