Thanksgiving Weekend

So this year we had Thanksgiving at my sister's house with the whole family, and of course we had one extra this year.....baby Gavin. 

Yummy Sweet Potato

So after eating our brains out , we all packed up and headed for Big Bear for the weekend.  Good friends of my sister and her husband gave us their house on Big Bear Lake for the weekend.  We had so much fun.  Sad part about it, Adam was not able to make it with us because he had to work.  However the exciting part was it snowed a few inches on Saturday night and Britney and Carly got to see it fall from the sky.  They were so excited.



 



Here is the house we stayed in and the view from the front yard.

1st time in the snow...

The Morning after it snowed

Walking to Mama

At the Sledding Park watching us fly down the hill

I Can't wait to go back to the mountains it was a much needed vacation and a wonderful way to spend time with the family!!  Missed you Adam!!

Halloween 2010

I know I am way late on this blog hahaha.  This year Gavin got to celebrate his first year of Halloween and of course mom had to dress him up.  He was not to happy with the idea but once I got my pictures I let him take off a few items.

My little Pirate.

We had a blast this year....all of Gavin's cousins came over to trick or treat and pass out candy.  Britney, Carly and Belly all dressed up this year.  I think the girls loved passing out candy more this year than walking door to door. 

Belly was a baby, Carly a Bumble Bee and Britney a Pirate just like Gavin

Passing out candy...or maybe eating it all hahaha

So sleepy it was a long day.

I can't wait for next Halloween when I can dress Gavin up again...hopefully he will like the next costume.  I guess I will start looking now. 

Pumpkin Carving with Adam,Gavin, Brit, and Car = one messy kitchen!!!!!

So today was so much fun.  Gavin got to carve pumpkins for the first time, (well he watched) and the girls got to carve their little pumkins too.  We had a blast and mommy even put Gavin in the pumpkin for more pictures.  I swear this kid is gonna hate me for all these pictures I take.

Getting ready to make a mess....

or not he just wanted to eat the scoop!!



Soooo messy but so much fun...

Even though we made a mess it was all worth it to see the girls having so much fun and for Gavin to experience his first pumpkin carving.  I still think I had the best time it made me feel like a kid again.  Here are our final pumpkins....

The top is Adam's and the Kitty is Car's and the big eyes is Britney's!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Gavin's 1st Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

I can not believe my little man is already 4 months old....he is getting soooo big.  Today we took him to the pumpkin patch, even though he has no clue what was going on mom saw a great time for more pictures...poor little guy.

Well right when we got there Gavin fell asleep and mean old mom had to wake him up....or at least try too!!!

Sleepy little boy....

Well I finally got him up and of couse mom saw all the places to take cute pictures so poor little guy had to bare with me....it is his 1st trip to the pumpkin patch I had to take about a million photos.

Almost fully awake

 

He is really telling me "really mom really"!!!!

Totally Two and 1/2 Men hahahahahaha!!!!

Totally wants to eat the pumpkin.......and trying to say ok mom this might be a little cool......ok maybe not hahaha!!!

We had a great little family day today can't wait for many more to come with this little guy...love him sooo much and as much as I don't want him to grow up I am enjoying all of the milestones he is experiencing!!!  Love you baby boy!!!



Gavin's 1st Trip to Sea World

We had such a fun day today..... we took Gavin and the girls to Sea World.  Britney and Carly love Sea World and would sleep there if they could hahaha.  We had such a good time.  Gavin loved looking at all the animals....well as much as he could see right now.

 We started the day off at Elmo's Bay of Play....

 I am sooooo big....

Then we walked around to see all the animals and feed a few.......

Feeding the flamingos....

Feeding the sea lions and looking at the whales...ok maybe not gav he got tired,,,,

Sleepy boy......

G-pa and I tried to take the girls to the Sea Lion show for the first time...they were not to interested they just wanted to feed them the dead fish....but we tried.  Mom and Jay stayed out so he could eat and stay in the shade cause it was way too hot...

After a day full of eating bad and unhealthy food we thought we would go back and take the girls to Elmo's Bay of play and run it off.  They had such a good time playing in the water, playing arcade games, and taking more photos for Booty cause I was a crazy lady today hahaha.....

These girls are beautiful.....

Ok so I had to take a little of Gavin as well playing...he can't do much but he didn't like what I was gonna do next....hahaha!!!

WTF mom......I don't think he liked big bird....I don't blame him!!!

I can't wait to take Gavin back with the girls when he can finally run around and have fun....however he did so good!!!

So sleepy after a long day....but still smiles in his sleep!!!

Gavin's 3 Month Photoshoot with Aundie Mandi

We had a blast yeaterday and drove around to find a place to take Gavin's three month pictures.  We finally found a place called Dos Logos where they have these beautiful lakes as a great background.  Let me tell you auntie Mandi was in total picture mood laying on the ground and trying to get a three month old to smile........he finally gave her the finger in one picture secretly telling us to stop....hahahaha

hahaha...look at his finger

However he lost and we won and we got some beautiful pictures of him....I love them all auntie did a wonderful job.

I love the water in the back right behing the tall plants....

love the wood in the back...

I love the black and white...

After the first location we drove around and found this bright red barn building and took a few there...we had to wake him up and he was not to happy but we got a few great ones...

I love the red in the back.

So Gavin probably thought we were crazy and done at this point but of course we had to go one more place.  We went to my mom's house who is a huge Steelers Football fan so we had to do a little photoshoot there as well with all of the Steelers goodies.

Look at that little smile....

Thank you again Auntie Mandi for taking these beautiful photos we love you soooooooooo much and are so lucky and blessed to have you in our lives.  Thanks for making and capturing all the great memories we share.  Love you with all of our hearts XOXOXOX!!!
