Play Time At The Park

So Gavin really loves to be outside....this kid can run around all day long.  Last week I had my nieces a few times so we headed to the park both days.  I have to say it is much easier letting them run around together than being stuck inside. 

Day -1 Headed to Dos Logos Park for a little fun....



They love the slide...Gavin will go down all day if you let him...

Wow mom this is cool.....

Day - 2 decided to get on our bikes and ride them to the Park

This was a long hall....Gavin is hooked on behind me wish I took that picture cause he passed out while mommy did all the work.

After we got to the park we played a little then we went by the grocery store and picked a few things up to make for dinner......loaded Gavin's seat up with the groceries and headed home.  That was a long hall we were all tired.  So we ate a little food, took some baths and got ready for bed.  As we were getting ready for bed Carly was showing me her tooth that was very loose.....so I decided to take a look at it and gave it a little tug and out it came......she had no clue I got it out till she was trying to wiggle it and nothing was there.......she was so EXCITED to loose her first tooth.

Gotta get ready for the toothfairy.....

My sister was gonna be a little later that night so Gav and I decided to lay in bed with Britney and Car and watch a few movies....it was getting really late and they all were still up.  So I turned the movie off to try and trick Gavin in to bed time cause we were on our normal routine and Britney was trying her hardest to play along but kept laughing....

We finally got him to fall asleep then it was time to put them all to bed...what a fun few days with all the kids....I love watching Gavin play and grow more and more everyday...

Can't wait for another girls night out......gotta plan one of those soon.

~Girl's Night~

"Bless You Momma"

So I have been a little sick the past week and I was coughing a lot and Gavin kept telling me something and I really didn't understand. It wasn't until I sneezed when he said the same thing again and this time I knew exactly what he was saying.....

I seriously LOVE LOVE LOVE this kid soooo much...he tells me something new everyday!!!

~BLESS YOU~



Santa Has Entered The Building

.....MERRY CHRISTMAS.....

We are sooooo excited it is finally Christmas WOO HOO....so this year Santa brought Gavin a train table that he loves and of course a bigger slide cause he has totally out grown the old one....let me tell you he was super excited and a bit confused when he walked out Christmas morning....

Santa Came.....

The Train Table....

He loves the slide....

Ok here he is coming down the hall...

Opening the gate we left open...and....

What the heck is all this guys!!!!!

He went straight to the table and started to play...

Good job Santa you made a 1 1/2 year old boy very very happy this year...oh and I have to thank Santa as well for the present he left mom and dad..

New Mountain bikes with the kid carrier to pull behind...Gavin loves this too he walkes into garage and says."bike momma Bike"

We had a wonderful Christmas morning Gavin saw everything Santa brought, opened a few more gifts from mom and dad but could pretty much careless because Santa brought the cool toy.  However, it was one of the best days yet.  After all the present opening my family came to our house and we opened a little more presents, ate a ton of food, saw Santa come buy with more presents and ate more dessert.  I have to say Christmas was a success...

Gavin opening more presents....

Christmas Eve

I know I am a little late on these next few posts I have been starting the new year off a little under the weather but here we go:

So this year we decided to have Christmas Eve at my sisters house......we also decided to have all the kids open their gifts from the aunts, uncles and grandparents so they were not so overwhelmed Christmas Day. It worked out perfect cause the kids were able to play with a few new toys before they had another huge load to open the next morning....plus I really didn't want the trash at my house the next day since everyone was coming over so it worked out for everyone hahaha.

Just some of the gifts to open Christmas Eve...

Gavin is ready to dig in....

Everyone helping Gavin....

Britney soooo happy...

Belly loves her clothes....

Ant trying to show that gifts are cool.....

Car and that smile.....

My buggy loves his backpack....

Loves his new tool set from Auntie....

Getting ready to set out the cookies and beer for Santa....

So I am starting a new tradition....I decided to wrap Britney up in her room so she couldn't sneak out and see what Santa has brought...so I wrapped her in her room and I taped it everywhere so she couldn't crawl under and it was tall enough she couldn't go over hahaha....I did make sure she had water and luckily she has a bathroom connected so she couldn't use that excuse.  It was so much fun she loved it and she loved busting out in the morning when mom told her she would come out.  Gonna do this again next year for sure hahaha.

~Merry Christmas Eve~

Early Christmas Presents

So Gavin has gotten a few early Christmas presents.....I wanted to post a few pictures of his new outfits.  So mom gave Gavin the cutest Raincoat and matching boots.  She gave it to him the other day so he could wear it on Monday when it was super cold and rainy....he was not a fan of the jacket but he wants to wear his boots all day long.....

Hey look it's the Gordan's Fisherman BAHAHAHA!!!!

So then the next day Auntie Mandi decided to give Gavin something that he absolutly loves...she found this adorable Spongebob beanie on Etsy and knew Gav would love it.....this is probably the cutest beanie I have ever seen.  I swear if we knew how to make it I could have sold about 20 the day he wore it to Brit and Car's school. 

I had to throw this one in there because I am about to take everything I have bought back because my child loves to play in this box.  He played with this for hours and hours.  He even sat inside and watched a movie for like 25 minutes without even moving.  Who knew a box would be such a hit????  Happy early Christmas Gavin....I know you love the box but I hope you like what we actually bought you that came in that box!!!!

~Christmas Is Almost Here~



One Crazy Week!!!!

So this past week was pretty busy for us..... Tuesday we started off with Carly's Kindergarten play where she sung 12 songs.....it was sooooo cute they did great and of course Gavin was excited the whole time.

Gavin sitting on the floor watching the whole play...

Wednesday came along and we started our day off with a little breakfast at Denny's.  My mom and I thought we would get a bite to eat before we had to help in Carly's class for her Christmas Party.  Since Adam was off that day as well he came along.  Well of course right when we were done eating and about to leave Gavin took a header into the table we were sitting at.......he was a trooper and only cried for like 10 seconds.  Of course I was freaked out and was watching for everything eyes, bump etc...

Poor Buggy.....

Well it was time to head off to Carly's school so it was up to Adam to watch for it all.  So we went to Carly's class and made gingerbread houses, raindeer handprints, decorated cookies and tons more.  We had a lot of fun and the kids had a blast.

So after helping in the class I rushed home checked to make sure Gavin was doing ok and loaded up the car to meet Nichole and Janie at Disneyland.  This was going to be my first trip to Disneyland by myself.  When I say that I mean parking and taking Gavin, the stroller, my bag and everything else on my own on and off the tram.  I am proud to say I survived and it was a successful trip.  Gavin had sooooo much fun you wouldn't even have known he had smacked his head on the table if it wasn't for the bruise on his eye and cheek. 

On the Carousel at Disneyland

Mommy I love the Tea Cups

Move mom let me move Dumbo

On the Little Mermaid Ride..

Thursday came around so fast Adam took the day off again and decided to golf for a while which was great cause I had a ton of shopping to do.  So I headed out with Auntie TT and got a bunch of things done for Christmas.  Then the weather got a little crazy on us.......here is the play by play.....we went to a store and it was cloudy...then we came out of that store maybe 20 min later and it was sprinkling...... then we walked to the car 1 min and it was pouring.....I was putting Gavin in the carseat and it began to hail.....1 min later there was lighting and thunder that shook the car so hard......I climbed over Gavin to get in the car it was hailing so hard.....we then got in the car and started driving in the pouring rain when it then decided to hail and snow on us........this was all taking place within a total of 10 min sooooo crazy. 

Sooooooo crazy.....

So we finally got home a little late thursday and I forgot I had to make the Christmas Taffy Bouquets for the girls teachers since their last day was Friday....and of course it's been so cold my taffy was super hard and I had to keep melting it....it took FOREVER....but I was happy to do it and they turned out great and the teachers loved them.......

Here is one I forgot to take a picture of the other.....

Friday finally hit and I picked the girls up from school and took them to my house and we did a little gingerbread house decorating and we wrapped some presents.....Here are a few pictures I totally forgot to take the pictures of our final product so I text my sister to send me a few and they ate Carly's hahaha....so the finished ones below is just Britney's lol.

Britney's turned out great....

It's finally Saturday woo hoo.....so today is rounding out one crazy week.  Today we got to spend the day celebrating Madison's 3rd Birthday.  We headed off to her Yo Gabba Gabba party which was super cute and Gavin had a great time....he ate lots and lots of Candy and cupcakes and loved playing with the bubbles. 

More cupcakes mom.....

I love bubbles.....

So tomorrow is Sunday and I thought it was going to be a day filled with pj's and a whole lot of nothing.....well of course I decided to make it my Christmas cookie baking day that I do every year.   So I am off to bed so I can get some sleep before we start making dozens of cookies and brownies.
