Easter 2012

Our Easter project.  We made an Easter bunny and Easter chick out of paper bags! 

Better late than never...

I realize that it has been extremely long since my last post.  5 Months since new pictures, and I also realize how much kids change within a 5 month time frame.  My apologies. My kiddos are so fantastic!  Avery turns 9 months next week.  She has 2 teeth and she is changing everyday.  She has quite the personality, much different than Gavin was. She makes everything more dramatic, growls and screams at you when she wants something, and she knows she can milk it more with Daddy.  We just gave her her first mani/pedi today!  She is such a girl.  she will crawl crawl crawl and then stop to pose on her side and throw her shoulder back like a model!  She is a bossy sassy little girl!  We love her to pieces!
Gavin is 2 1/2...do i need to say anymore.  No seriously, he is still (for the most part) a good boy.  He is mostly potty trained (except for bedtime), still LOVES riding hid bike and playing outside.  He is talking so much better, and using full sentences and reasoning with us.  He is definitely Ren's child.  He is like the king of negotiation!  He loves Legos and Ren had most to do with that!  The best thing is...he LOVES playing with Avery,  now that she is in a more mobile and fun age.  He will cry at her door sometimes when I put her down for a nap.  I sure love my kids.  For Mother's Day Ren brought home baby chicks, and both the kids love playing with them.  Gavin is actually really gentle with them, and when he holds them he says "Hey chickies, its me! Its me chickies!" I will post a bunch of pictures.  just to get the most recent goodies.  I will try to get better at keeping this up.   

Christmas 2011

Oh Christmas...it was eventful this year. I got the flu with a nasty cold a few days before Christmas, and so of course the kids got it ON Christmas. Avery got an ear ache with a nasty cold and Gavin was throwing up every half hour on Christmas Eve night. Nevertheless...it was fun with their cousins here!

Family Christmas Pictures

Ok all of you who got our Christmas card, these pictures will look familiar. We took these pictures in some friends of ours back yard, and o-m-g...their yard is so beautiful! We saw Colin and Ashley (since it was his parents house) and got some good shots with their little girl Jayne too. Gavin just loves Jayne. Really...Gavin loves lots of little girls way older than him! Anyway, they have a very large Koi pond and Gavin had a fun time feeding the fish with Beth and Jayne. Enjoy the photos!

Is there a Librarian in our future?

I dont think AP needs +2.50 readers yet...but doesnt she make them look good!

A day in the rain!

I really like this picture of David with Gavin. Ren and David took Gavin down to Mission Bay a few weeks ago for the Catamarans races while I did my Super Saturday. It was totally raining and cold, but Gavin still had a good time.

Kids in their costumes

So despite all 4 of us having a cold this Halloween, that didn't stop us from taking some pictures! I had to bribe Gavin with Smarties to take pictures so you may see some candy in his mouth! Avery, our little bumblebee was really cooperative. We didn't take Gavin out trick or treating cause he and Avery were both sick, but we opened the top half of our door and he stood on his chair and just waited for all the trick or treaters to come. They would come and he would say "trick or Treat" to them, I'd give the candy out and he would yell "BYE!!!" He would stand there waiting saying "more people, momma...more people?" So even though we didn't go out, he still had fun.
