The Sippy Cup

Well,  we've found Gavin's favorite thing to play with....his sippy cup.  He loves to bite down on it and spill water all over himself. 

                         The things that kids love :)

Christmas {Day 3}

Sunday morning we headed down to Poway to see Granma and Granpa Greenelsh, Great Nama and Bapa, and Auntie V.  Nick's parents moved to Ojai a few months ago so we don't get to see them very often.  Gavin had so much fun playing with everyone.

We had to dress him in Raiders gear to make Great Bapa happy;)

He loved opening gifts

My favorite gift....a Christmas pillow with his adorable picture on it

six SWEET months

I can't believe our baby boy is already six months old today.  We LOVE every ounce of this 20 pounder.

Christmas {Day 2}

On Saturday morning we woke up and headed down to see Nick's Family in Santa Ana.  We went to his Grandma's house and saw his uncle, aunt and cousin Samantha.  Then, we went to lunch and met up with his aunt and her husband.  It was a nice day and so great to see his family :)

We got home that night and little man decided he wanted to pose for the camera...he is such a ham!

gosh, we LOVE this boy!!!!

Christmas Day

Christmas this year couldn't have been any better!  It was so much fun having little ones to adore.  Nick and I have been blessed with the sweetest little guy in the world.  He actually surprised us and was able to tear the wrapping paper off several of his gifts.  I don't think he was excited to see what was inside though....he just wanted to eat the paper.

Little Monkey

Why I was able to start fixing my blog today.....

Our precious little monkey took a two and a half hour nap :)

P.S. notice, above, I said START fixing....for some reason it is always

 a days work to get this thing up and running.

                    

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving day this year with Nick's Grandma, Aunt, and Uncle.  Since his Aunt and Uncle don't care for Turkey we went out to eat at Champps where Nick's Aunt's Husband is the manager.  I still had a nice turkey dinner and we enjoyed spending time with the family.

Great Grandma

Great Aunt Teana

I bought little man this toy for Christmas...however, Daddy saw it and thought that he just needed to have it now.  It happened to be his 5 month birthday (he sure has a lot of birthdays around here).  Well, he LOVES his new toy.  We'll see if it holds up with all his other Christmas presents.

Leaving him with my parents for the night so that we could take advantage of the Black Friday deals.  We went to the Elsinore outlets at 10:30 pm and got in line outside of target at 2:30 am.  We are NUTS...i know :)  But, we got some great deals!

Halloween

I know I'm very behind....my sincere apologies.  I seem to find myself using my down time to do other things. 

For Halloween we spent the weekend at Disneyland.  My sister-in-law turned 16, so we all got together and spent her special day at the most magical place on earth.  We had so much fun and enjoyed spending time with the family.
