HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAVIN!

Yesterday my little boy turned 3! It was such an exciting day! But his celebration started on Tuesday with Spiderman cupcakes and singing. Greg, Sloan and I got to hang out and sing with the kids. I think the cupcakes were a hit!

We started off his actual birthday going to Monkey Bizness with his cousins and Grammy. The kids all had a great time, I don't think I saw them much the entire time. They were running around like crazy monkeys.



We then headed to Red Robin for lunch and once again some Spiderman cupcakes.


That afternoon we all took a much needed nap and played until we met Daddy at Gunther Toody's. That is our tradition, going to dinner at GT's just as a family. It ended up being a wonderful day and Gavin had such a fun time. I can't believe my little boy is 3! Now we need to get ready for Saturday and his big party. We have a VERY SPECIAL GIFT that will be unveiled that day. I will post it next week! Don't want to spoil the surprise!

Happy Birthday to My Little Girl!

Today Sloan turns 6 months. We have had a lot of milestones......oh wait, do we? Not really. This girl....is a little stubborn. Cute, but stubborn. She started getting teeth in months ago. Have they popped in yet? Nope, they are still just sitting there, waiting, waiting, waiting. Has she started crawling yet? Nope, but she gets around, on her back. Everyone that sees her move thinks she is going to break her neck or hurt herself. She does this back bend thing using her head. And once again she has been doing this for about 3 or so months. Super fun when you lose your child in the house and she is only 3 months! And eating? What is that? If it does not come our of a bottle she has nothing to do with it. Yesterday I tried a banana in a funky binky type of thing- she sucked on it (it has mesh netting) for about 1 minute and that was it. Please note the below video. We try a few times a week to get her to eat and this is what happens..... Did I mention she is the devil child! She sounds like the girl from The Exorcist! Oh well Happy Birthday Sloan Lillian!

Turn your volume up high to hear her do her devil imitation.

My son is....

Self Potrait

hilarious. Seriously he is the cutest thing on the face of the earth. Well next to his sissy and the dogs.... and my hubby. Anyway, back to the story. Tonight is movie night and I told my son to get his new sleeping bag that Santa brought for him. He of course associated that with his new "tree tent" that Santa also brought him. He informed us, in the middle of dinner, that he was going to go downstairs and get his tent. Greg said, "Gavin please don't, Daddy will get it, it is heavy." My cute little son's retort was, "I can get it, I have strong arms."

Where does he get this stuff? This afternoon he was outside on his new bike and was whizzing around the street in it. When he and Greg came in, he was telling me all about it and how "he is the fastest in the neighborhood."

He is pretty funny and has some great comments. And his mind is like a steel trap, he remembers everything. Today he told me that, "Jackson is in Boulder Mommy." That is his cousin and yes, he does live in Boulder. I doubt he even knows where he lives......


PS He is almost back to normal, I would say about 90%. Still has the smokers cough in the morning and a bit of drainage in the nose. Yummy!

Happy New Year!

From our house to yours, hope it was a fantastic end to 2010 and here is to a wonderful 2011!

I will do a post later how we rang in the new year. I just had to add this picture, because seriously, is SHE NOT THE CUTEST PRESENT EVER????
