Gavin's First Haircut

Gavin was in serious need of a haircut so we finally caved and cut it. He was such a good boy sitting in the chair.

Now that we cut off all his baby hair we can see how blonde he is!

This is his new favorite position. He thinks it's hilarious and so do we!

Lehi Rodeo

On Friday night we went to the Lehi Rodeo. It was a blast and I think it needs to become a tradition every year.

YEE HAW!

The train was very loud and fast and took us a little off-guard.

Father's Day photos

For Jesse's father's day gift I decided to take some photos of Gavin in Jesse's clothes. Gavin was loving the camera and was hamming it up. I really like the way some of these turned out.

Gavin's Birthday Party

The birthday party was really fun and Gavin seemed to enjoy being the center of attention. Thanks to everyone who could come and a special thanks to Grandma Julie for all your hard work!

Thanks to Julie for making the cake. It was definitely appropriate!

I think it's safe to say the cake was his favorite part. It didn't take him long to figure out what to do. Here's the before....

The during.....

And the after.....

It was so funny to watch him devour his cake. Here's video for those who couldn't be there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY G-MAN!

Today is Gavin's birthday!!!!!! We can't wait to celebrate tonight!

One Year Ago!

Next week is Gavin's first birthday and I'm remembering how different things were one year ago. One year ago today (Friday) was my last day of work before taking maternity leave. I wish I could take the summer off again but that's not really an option this year. :)

So many things were different one year ago:

*I had cankles and the only shoes I could get on my gigantic, swollen feet were flip flops

*My joints ached every time I moved

*I was getting about the same amount of sleep I am now because I had to get up and go to the bathroom at least once or twice every night

*My ribs felt like they were going to break from all the kicking

*I could actually sit and watch TV for more than two minutes

*Going to the grocery store or mall or any other public place was much easier - however, I didn't enjoy all the stares I got when I was out in public

*I had no idea how much love I could feel for such a small person

As much as I enjoyed my life before I had a baby I can't imagine my life without him now. The lack of sleep, frustrations and stressful times are all worth it. Our little man has been such a blessing in our lives and I can't believe an entire year has passed. I love watching him grow and change every day and I can't wait for the many years to come.

St. George

We were able to head to St. George for a few days last weekend. Unfortunately the weather was not great but we still had a lot of fun.

We played tennis...

Went to the pool....

Went out to dinner.....

And had fun goofing around.

It was nice to hang out with family and it was fun to get away. And yes, Gavin is feeling much better and he is back to his goofy self.
