Sickies

This past week my children have been quite the sickies. They both had nasty colds which then turned into many sleepless nights for the whole house, lots and lots of snot all over, lots of whining, droopy eyes and double ear infections for both children. Needless to say we haven't been up to much but trying to get some rest. Just yesterday Gavin's eyes were beginning to open a bit, and Audra, well Audra still has a smile for you even when she is sick and doesn't sleep. On Saturday Kevin was working in the yard and I let Gavin go outside. He was quite excited to run around and play and help daddy in the yard, and Audra loved watching them work hard outside.

Gavin is a great rock sorter. He likes to find the rocks in the yard.

Between Christmas and his birthday Gavin recieved lots of tools, so he had out his measuring tape helping daddy.

He's a very good helper.

The other day we were moving some things around in the garage, to fit my wonderful new car!!! (more on that later), and I sat Audra on Gavin's atv and she loved it. I was driving her around the garage and she was quite enjoying herself.
Audra and Daddy enjoying her ride. And if you look closely you can see Gavin in the background playing away.

Gavin wanted to help Audra drive.

No hands!

7 Month Pictures

Kevin & Gavin were working on counting to 3. Together they count . . . 1 . . . 2 . . .3.

Then . . .
Kevin & Gavin together: "1 . . 2 . . . . ."
(insert long pause)
Kevin: "what comes next"
Gavin: "BIEBER!!"

What a funny boy.

Go Auburn!

I don't think too much needs to be said for these pictures, except . . . We Love Auburn!

With the BCS Championship in town everywhere we went we saw the orange shirts for Auburn and the yellow/green shirts for Oregon. Gavin joined in on the fun with his Auburn gear as well.

Audra was not so impressed with all the madness.

Like Father like Son.

Gavin refused to get out of the stroller, that is quite unusal, but I won't complain.

Little miss Audra is thinking about crawling these days, but I think that is might just be too much work and she is going to skip right to walking.

The proud Auburn fans.

As Gavin would say, "WooHoo!"

Birthday Wishes!

We want to wish Grandma RoRo a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! In Gavin's words a "happy me" day. We love you very much!

A Relaxing New Years Weekend

We enjoyed a wonderful new years weekend, at home relaxing and cleaning things out. Audra enjoyed some computer time with Daddy. She enjoys what time she gets with him, because Gavin is often demanding his attention.

This is a rare moment for Gavin, but with some of his birthday money he got Toy Story, Toy Story 2 & Toy Story 3, oh and he also got the Justin Bieber cd. We spent most of the weekend with Toy Story on the tv muted and listening to "biebs" as Gavin calls him now. Apparently they are a first name basis now.

Yesterday while Kevin & I were sitting at the table working on something, Audra was sleeping and this is what Gavin decided to do . . .

for some reason he decided to climb into Audra's jumper. He then proceeded to head to the pantry and get some cheerios and put them on the tray of the jumper and then got in to jump and eat snacks (if you couldn't guess this is what Audra spends a lot of time doing, he apparently got jealous of all the fun she has).

And if you couldn't tell from the other picture he's a little big for the jumper, his knees actually hit the ground. He's a funny boy.
