The Diamondbacks Game

Gavin has been asking every day for several weeks to go to a baseball game. So last week Kevin took him & his friend Baylor & his dad to a Diamondbacks game. Gavin had so so much fun. First of all they got to sit in the dugout box, right on the field and right next to the visitors dugout. Gavin got to talk to the players and him and Baylor were each given a ball. He thought it was so great and didn't stop talking about the game and that ball.

I first want to apologize for the lack of posting lately, not only have things been a little crazy with sickies, but I was having troubles with blogger posting what I had written. I think I have no figured out the problem, thanks to a little help from my husband. Today I just have a couple funny videos of Gavin & Audra, from Kappy & Pauly (as Gavin calls them, Aunt Kathy & Uncle Paul). The other night the kids went to play while Kevin & I had Bible study. The kiddos always have lots of fun and eat tons of food & keep Kathy & Paul busy the entire time. And Gavin discovered he could sit and take a bath & watch Nemo at the same time, two of his favorite things at the same time.

Well the Holt household has been a bit out of commision the last week. It think everyone took their turn having the flu. However this weekend Gavin was feeling much better and ready to get outside and play. He has been dying to try out his new Toy Story slip'n'slide that Uncle Jake & Auntie Hannah gave him. So in the midst of our dirt backyard we set up a nice mudhole for Gavin to play in. But were quickly reminded that Gavin does not like to get dirty or wet these days. Even after Kevin showed him, in his sickly state, how to do it, he still was not understanding how this was supposed to be fun. Oh well another time, maybe on some grass.

I love to see Gavin's imagination start to take off. One day last week, Gav started pushing the ottomans across the room and pulling all his chairs out. He then very meticulously lined them all up and sat down in one of the chairs. And then yelled very loudly, "Chugga chugga Choo choo!!!" I asked him what he had made and he looked at me with a look as if that was a riduculous question and said, "a train, mom".

It has quickly heated up here into the upper 90's, so yesterday I took the kiddos to the park to play in the water. It was Audra's first time at the splashpad and she loved it. She was not afraid and just wandered around playing with all the other kids. Gavin has this funny this where if he gets wet, even just a drop of water on his clothes they have to come off, well yesterday once he went in the water and got wet he started pulling his pants off. He says, "it's wet mom, it's WET!" So I quickly tried to explain that he was wearing swim trunks and they were made to get wet in, they were made to wear in the water. He was not convinced.
