Molly

Ben & Kirsten's Reception

The Project

Chris has spent the last two Saturdays putting this play set together for the boys. They finally got to play on it and really enjoyed it.
My sister, Karena, is living with us for the summer. We're all glad she's here, but Gavin seems to like "Auntie Kreena" the most.


Gavin has decided that he is a photographer now. He took both of these pictures of Reily, along with many others that were not worth saving!

The 4th

Molly, Gavin and Reily had a great time on the 4th. The party was small this year, so they were the center of attention.

Summer Fun

We took the boys to a nearby lake. They both LOVED it. Gavin did not want to go home at all. They were both so brave.

Gavin would love to go swimming everyday all day long. I went and got this little pool and he asks to swim in his froggie as soon as he wakes up most days. He doesn't even care if the water is freezing cold!Gavin has always loved climbing on the roof of his house. His little brother has decided it'd be fun to follow him.

Kamden

Kamden spent the evening with us recently. It was different having a little baby around again.
Gavin wasn't too sure about Kamden at first. He preferred to "spy" on him.
Reily was just very clingy at first. They both got over it!

Illinois

Gavin and I recently visited with my biological father's family in Illinois. It was a good trip and Gavin did great in the car. This picture is of Gavin and me with my grandmother.My cousin, Shauna, has a little boy, Zack. Zack and Gavin played together a lot and had a great time.

Just another photo to humiliate my son with one day...

Gavin is 3!!!

Gavin and his road full of car cakes.
He picked the biggest car on the road and didn't even finish 1/2 of it!
All of Gavin's birthday loot.

On the day of Gavin's birthday, we had lunch at McDonald's. He got to eat his second Happy Meal in three years.
We had a great little party for Gavin's birthday with friends and family. Gavin got this little table, which the boys have definitely enjoyed eating at together outside.

Father's Day

We celebrated Father's Day with Gavin's birthday. Papa and Gavin enjoyed some time at the park before dinner."Tip" made sure Reily enjoyed his time at the park, as well.
Poor Gavin had to wait to open presents until Papa and Daddy were all done. He was pretty patient, but had to help Papa and daddy, of course.

Two Cute Boys

We figure that Reily got tired of bumping into everything (he is definitely a bumble butt). He's designed his own protective head gear to wear around the house to protect him from those walls that just pop up out of no where and n
Reily has decided that he'll help himself to "cee-oo" (cereal) whenever he likes. Sometimes it turns out well, sometimes it ends up all over the floor.
Gavin wanted to feed Reily a carrot. Both boys burst out in laughter with every crunch/nibble that was taken.

Our church recently hosted the Amazing Family Race. Papa had to run a station and wanted his boys with him. There were goldfish in the pool for contestants to catch. The poor things were very traumatized by Gavin and Reily first.Gavin and Reily LOVE to swing.
Just a beautiful picture of my sweet Reily.
Gavin has always loved his puppy very much (though he lost the original). Reily has just started to love stuffed animals and has picked a puppy to love, too.
Gavin really likes to show off his hard core biking skills. He wants to be like "Tip" (a good friend of ours whose name Gavin couldn't quite say, so "Tip" it is). "Tip" is very into biking and always wears his helmet.
