Happy Early Birthday Gavin!

Gavin turns the big 1 this Thursday! My parents are going to be out of town this week, so we celebrated his birthday yesterday with my family. He loved his presents, cake and ice cream, and most importantly the balloon. Animal crackers, spoon and fork and cars from the Jackman's
Clifford car, clothes and storage drawers from Grandma and Papa

He LOVED his cake! He thought the candle was so funny.


Blowing out the candle. He even tried to blow!

Yum! Lemon cake!

First bite of ice cream!

Messy boy!

Rock Band!

Last night we went over to Chris and Emily's for dinner and we played Rock Band. We have never played Rock Band before, and it was a lot of fun! Gavin loved watching us play and he even started "dancing" and singing. His "dancing" consists of shaking his head back and forth really fast. Braxton and Bennett playing with the guitars.

Casey doesn't really like these type of games (Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution...), but he really liked the drums.

The Playhouse

For Easter, Papa Bill and Grandma Deana gave all the Grandkids a playhouse. Papa Bill put it up in their backyard on Saturday, and the kids had so much fun playing in it. Once the weather gets warmer, I know they'll be spending hours in the house. Thanks Grandma and Papa!


I'm going to check the mail.

Knock knock...here I come

Gavin is walking!!

Daddy's sweater

Today Gavin wore a sweater vest that Casey wore when he was this age. I bet Casey didn't look very different from this cute little guy when he was this age!

Climbing the stairs

Gavin loves to climb the stairs, and he can climb them pretty fast! I couldn't get him to stop so that I could get a picture of him. He was just too busy to be bothered!

Silly boys

Gavin and Braxton have so much fun when they get together. Here are some cute pictures of them playing together.

Easter Weekend

We had quite the weekend! So, just to warn you, there are a lot of pictures! I was surprised how fun Gavin had doing all the fun Easter activities.

On Friday night, we went to Autumn and Dougs and colored eggs. Gavin wanted to get his hands in the mess, and we almost had a couple spills. It was a lot of fun!



The egg ways "Gavin"
This is the egg we made fo dad. It says "I love Dad"
On Saturday morning, we went to the Discovery Park in Pleasant Grove for the Easter egg hunt. We got there early, so we went and played at the park for a little bit.

Getting ready to go down the slide.

They had the eggs all set up in one of the tennis courts. They told parents to stay back by the fence, so I was worried how Gavin would do, but he did pretty good. He crawled out and found one egg and kept throwing it, and then chasing after it.

Braxton did awesome and got a lot of eggs!
Later that afternoon, we went to Casey's Aunt's house and had lunch and another Easter egg hunt. Gavin is really getting this hunting stuff down. He picks up whatever is colorful in front of him and puts it in his mouth. We got some fun stuff including a balloon, Hot Wheels and lots of candy.

He crawled over to Weston and tried to steal his candy. Weston didn't think that was very funny.

Easter Morning!

He woke up to find his Easter basket and loved the eggs that were filled with cereal. He also got a little duck that he loved.

Later that evening, we went to my parent's house for dinner and to have another Easter egg hunt with Damon, Kylie and Braxton.
Getting excited to go out and find the eggs!

We tried to get a picture with them looking at the camera, but they were too excited with their eggs.
Happy Easter!
