Playing with Sophia

Nothing like the hose to keep kids happy.
Sophia loves to spray herself as well as others. Gavin didn't seem to mind though.
So CUTE!
The continued battle for the stroller.
I enjoy long walks, rocks, eating dirt and getting wet at the most inconvenient times.

The Good Life

He's very comfortable with the fact that it's a pink chair. This is a great picture.

He really lives it up when Sophia is having a nap. He really doesn't mind just backing it up and sitting on her. Poor Sophia she's too nice to do anything.
This is a rare occasion when he wasn't crying or whining for me. He was fussy for about the first 3 days. Oh I am so glad the rash is finally gone! All it took was A&D ointment.
This reminds me of T.J. when he was little. He's so skinny! He has spent most of his days on the stairs. Up and Down! He's getting to be such a little pro. Jessica luckily has the stairs that are split.

We found these glasses at the park and now Sophia is a movie star. She loves them. I can't believe how big she's!

Were Going to Arizona! Eventually

Here is the beginning of our 3 hour wait for the airplane thank goodness for this play area.
I can only imagin the germs. People kept stopping and watching him play it was really funny. Until he decided to start eating the foam blocks.
See the red goose egg on his head. This happend within the first 5 minutes of the airport. He thought he was stronger than the monkey leash. It was like watching the strongman competitions were they have to pull a bus. He didn't win.
Airplanes! Up Close!

Ahhh. At last we made it to Arizona. These too love to cuddle. Gavin love the little dog. But I don't think its mutual.

So I woke up early to catch a 9:00am flight to Arizona. Gavin didn't sleep good at all and I had to wake him up after just a couple of hours of sleep. So we started the day off kind of angry. We made it to the airport an hour early only too have to sky cab tell me that my flight had been cancelled and re booked for 11:00am the same day. He claimed he didn't know why (Mechanical is what they kept telling us. However they somehow managed to fit everyone from the 9 and 11 on the same plane with extra seats. Hmmm. That's convenient for them.) So I looked at T.J. and he said "I have to go to work good luck." Not a good feeling. But we made it.

Even More Family pics

Love it!
I was holding his sucker in front.

Lisa, Kaylee and Sarah
Sarah, Lisa, Kaylee I like this photo because of the attitude. 

More Family Pictures

This was the first professional picture we had done together. Can you tell how much T.J. wants to be done?
I thought that bench was going to break! It had a huge crack in it and then they wanted us to sit on it. I was so scared! Gavin just wanted to touch the camera. 
I wish he wasn't looking at all the ducks. Do you like my fake hair? I put in my really great clip in extensions they are so nice. Its real hair too...creepy. 
See how his pants are rolled up. They are for a 9 month old. HeHe. At the end of the day they had completely fallen off. 
I loved these pictures. Right before the photographer started to shoot Gavin fell in between the benches seat. I think it mostly scared him. So these are what we got. 
2 seconds after this he almost fell in the water. It was close. Thank goodness T.J. is quick. The biggest problem would have been if he would have caught them. I don't think they would have been as nice as the goat that sucked on his thumb. 

I didn't mention where we had these done at so I'll tell you now. These were taken at gardener village. It is such a nice place to do this at because there are so many different types of scenery. Jim and Lisa's good friend did this for us just to be nice! I know! I really loved the ones of Gavin. He was really hyper I don't know if you can tell how much he was running around by his Bright Red cheeks. He did really good considering. I am so glad to have a family photo finally! 

Swiss Days

This is during our wonderful swiss lunch. It was so much fun with Amy, Keri and Mckenna. I think the thing that made the lunch so swiss was the cheese. 
Gavin actually did really good at staying in his stroller. We watched a dancing and singing show. I think it was polka music. Gavin just bounced up and down in his seat. It was really funny! Just the fact that it was polka music. Sorry Gavin that stays at the fair. 
I almost died when he reached for this poor girls white shirt. He had jelly all over his hands. 
It was a lot of fun hanging out with Keri. Gavin loves her.
I had to put Gavin on his Monkey leash. These poor people behind us were being harassed by him. They just kept feeding him. I told them not to unless they wanted to take him home. I have a feeling that he is always trying to get adopted when ever we go out. I waitress, cashier and a nice older couple at swiss days offered to let him go home with them. I always just say he's for rent between 9:00pm and 7:00am.  

Family Photos

We had these done yesterday. I think we were all excited to get them considering that we have been waiting for Gavin to get here to get them done. I will post more tomorrow.
