Just a few of my favorite pictures of of Gavin. :D

Scrapbooking Fun

Just having a little fun browsing the internet, AGAIN. Thanks to Shantala. She sent me a Scrapbooking magazine and so I was looking online. I really loved the organization things that they have, maybe it's because my stuff is all shoved into one small closet. Anyway, just thought I would share. They have lots of fun things & idea's. :D

Gavin Turned 4!

My baby boy, Gavin, just turned 4 on saturday. I can't believe how big he is. He is such a funny boy in everything he does. We love him so much and are so blessed to have him in our family. We love you Gavin Boy!!!

Here are a few pictures of his special day. He was such a good boy. Grandpa & Grandma let him go pick out is birthday presents so he was pretty content all day. Riley & Aubree decided that they wanted to make something for Gavin. They were telling Amanda and she said "so, do you want to make crafts or food?" So, they asked Gavin what he wanted. Well, anyone that knows Gavin can guess what he chose. Therefore, Amanda helped Riley, Aubree, Gavin, Michael, Scott & Dillon make Gavin some Ant cookies by request of Gavin. He now calls chocolate chips ants for any of you who really thought I meant ants. :D
We decided to wait til dad came home saturday night when Gavin got to open his presents and then we celebrated on sunday with all the grandparents.

This year Gavin chose a Four Wheeler Cake. Thanks for helping us celebrate our little boys birthday everyone. We love you all.







































Well, I guess I have started a New Job. :D I have been helping my father-in-law with his backhoe business. I am learning how to put in a septic system. Let me just tell you it is a lot of work. Here are a few pictures from friday. Nick got a new backhoe. It's way nice, Gavin loves to ride in it. Today Shaylin fell asleep while she was in there with grandpa. I couldn't get a picture cuz I was way busy working. LOL (Does anyone really think I could work that hard? Actually I was staying as far away as possible from the dirt. :)


























Gavin ended up rocking Shaylin to sleep while I was doing tomato's. And PB is Gavin's new favorite snack. Thought it was kindof funny because I was showing him what I use to eat for a snack & HE LOVES IT. Who would have thought. :)






















Chelsea & I picked grandma & Tim's garden. I felt pretty good. I knew that it wasn't going to waste. Well, then I got home and realized how much work I had ahead of me. I ended up canning 24 pints or so of tomato's. Let's just say, I was pretty proud, AGAIN! :D





















The night we stayed at grandpa & grandma's house because daddy ended up staying in Buhl for another night. Aubree was doing grandma's hair and everyone else was playing on the bed watching a movie. Fun times!

Just For Fun

I have been playing around on the internet and came upon this website. I think it's lots of fun and just thought I would share. Hope you enjoy.

Labor Day Weekend

Riley has started piano lessons. He is so excited. My cousin Emily is teaching him. Thanks Emm! I am looking for a real cheap piano for sale if any one knows of any body. Thanks!



























We got to take the kids to Boise this weekend. We weren't able to go any where as a family over the summer. Clay was always too busy. He had saturday night, sunday and monday off before harvest. It was so nice to just relax and enjoy the family. We went down to my mom's on friday. Saturday we went to Ketchum Wagon Days Parade. It was fun to spend time with my parents. The kids really enjoyed it. Clay came over saturday just in time for Prime Rib Dinner. Thanks Mom & Dad! It was way good. Then we roasted a few marshmellows in the fire.
Sunday Clay and I and the kids made our way to Boise. We went to the zoo and ate lunch there. The weather was so nice. It wasn't too hot or cold. PERFECT! We took our time & really enjoyed it. I was so sad because my batteries died in my camera. I only got a few pictures at the beginning of the monkey's and some birds.
My favorite was the Tiger's. They were so BIG!!!
Afterwards we just headed to the hotel.



























We got to stay in The AmeriTel Inn again, in the Family Suite. We love it! We stayed and had dinner in the room and watched a movie and just let the kids swim and enjoyed our time.

Swimming Fun.......
































Our little pizza party in the room. Never done this before, but not sure if it was enjoyable. We were worried about the spilling and the stains. :D























Sleeping kids.....
























Movie we got to watch in our room.




































Watching movie. Every time I seem to take Gavins picture he snaps his fingers and moves like he's dancing. (Who knows what he is up to!)



























OK, so this is backwards. Clay had taken the kids down to the pool. I got Shaylin ready and we went to see if there was any popcorn in the candy machine. I grabbed my camera and Shay saw me so she says "CHEESE". I had to take her picture. So, I decided to take her picture all the way down to the pool. Holding hands, wait for the elevator and Mom & Shay. She is so cute and getting way big already. She is growing up too fast, that's for sure.



































The Letter "A"

Amanda has decided that she wants to do a little pre-school with Michael & Gavin. So, the first week they learned the letter A and then after that each week they get to pick what letter they want to do. I am way excited because Gavin loves it. He gets to go to school just like Riley and Aubree. He gets up and ready every morning just like the others and off he goes to Amanda's. I wend to the Airport to see the Airplanes with them. It was actually pretty interesting. Thanks Again, Amanda! You are awesome.
This week is "F". I think it's fishing time, but the kids are sick so don't know if we will be able to go.
