Basment

Recently, with the threat of tornadoes looming, we spent some quality time in our unfinished basement. Gavin actually enjoyed it.

Chris' New Toy

It only took me mowing the lawn one time to insist that Chris find a used riding lawn mower. Our yard is huge and hilly. I figured it was worth the investment knowing all the time Chris would save using a rider. It went from a 3 1/2 hour job to a 1 1/2 hour job! Plus, now Gavin can "help".

Gavin and the Mow-mow

Gavin just loves the riding lawnmower. As soon as he gets outside he climbs up on it. He could sit there for hours. He calls it a mow-mow.

Notice the before shots of the hair, too!

After

Gavin was in desperate need of a haircut. I took him in for this one. We are having professional pictures done in a couple of weeks, so no mommy special this time!

Parade

We went to a parade downtown the other day. Gavin liked collecting and then immediately eating candy and a popsicle. Reily seemed to enjoy himself, especially when Daddy was feeding him lunch!

Future Plumber?

I went in to get Reily up from his nap and this is just how I found him. When I put him down, he had pajamas on, he just kicked his way out.

Watermelon

We all got to have some watermelon and it didn't seem fair not to let Reily try it. We put it in the mesh feeder thingy and he loved it.

Playtime

Cottage

This was Gavin at the cottage this past weekend BEFORE we cut the grass.

I have no idea!

Vikings

Looks like we might have another Vikings fan on our hands.

Splish, splosh

Gavin loved running around in the rain puddles.

He's my angel

Buddies?

Or, is Reily just too little to get away???

What a Smile

FINALLY

Reily tolerates a little tummy time.

Potty Chair

Sorry, no picture to go along with this one!

Gavin has now gone potty on his little potty chair twice. He seems to be getting it. Maybe I'll have him out of diapers by the time he's two (yeah, right)!

Earrings

We had a garage sale this past weekend and Gavin had a lot of fun getting in to everything. He seemed to feel pretty special with these earrings on, so we figured we'd take a picture of it to torture him with later in life.

Local Zoo

We have a little zoo in town, perfect for Gavin. He enjoyed seeing all the animals and playing around.

Lunch with Gramps

My dad really enjoyed his lunch with Gavin sitting at a toddler table on a toddler chair.

Gavin enjoyed his lunch with Gramps even more!
