ASU Football

This past weekend we had the privilege of going to an ASU football game with Graunt Kathy & Gruncle Paul. Gavin had a great time, especially since he is so into football these days, and his football jersey. We had great seats right on the 50 yard line about 16 rows from the field, so it made it great for Gavin to see the ball and the game. At first I think it was a little overload for him, but by the end he was cheering and making new friends.

And Audra was wonderful the entire time.
Watching the jumbotron.

Gavin is quite hillarious with his hats these days. He will readjust the hat 5 times before its perfect. Too funny. One day I actually watch him readjust it several times and then one time he pulled it off and flatten some of his hair then tried to readjust it again.

Thank you Kathy & Paul for taking us to the game. We had a wonderful time.

Halloween

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of great pictures from Halloween, Gavin did not want to cooperate too much. We joined some friends for dinner and then we headed out to take the kiddos trick or treating. Gavin was not so thrilled with trick or treating. He just wanted to be carried the whole time while Audra slept.

Gavin & Baylor & Charissa riding to the next house for some more treats.
This was probably the only house that Gavin actually got down and walked up to the house, but hey at least i got it on camera.

He had way more fun playing football with the big boys before we went trick or treating. He loves his sports these days. And he has been living in this jersey, he never wants to take it off. And he woke up on Sunday morning ready to put it back on. We were in his closet getting his clothes before church and I had a nice button-up shirt out to put on him and he threw it on the ground and yelled "NNNOOO! Bootball (which is football)!!" So I ran down stairs and threw it in the wash because it was filthy from the night before. So if you want to know what to get Gav for christmas, shirts with footballs, baseballs & basketballs on them.

The little missy however did cooperate for a couple pics (and don't mind the red ring around her face, she is teething and drooling like a crazy women, so her skin is quite chaffed).

This was how most attempts to get Gavin to take a picture ended.

Our little cheerleader, cheering on Gavin the ASU football player.

At least she will sit still for me.

Attempt 2 at the Pumpkin Patch

On Monday we made our 2nd attempt at the pumpkin patch. This time I took the kids with our friends the Arnolds. I did manage to get some better pictures than last time.

This is our friend Broden. He quite enjoyed finding and eating rocks.

Gavin was quite grossed out by Broden trying to eat the rocks and kept trying to stop him. Too funny. This is the "EEEEEWWWWW Mommy" face.

Again the rocks.

Audra took to eating hay instead.

This is Gavin's friend Baylor, but when he says Baylor it sounds a lot like "Bieber"

Audra's favorite face to make these days. She is working hard at trying to get some teeth in, so she has taken to chewing on her bottom lip.

And again.

All 4 of the kiddos together. Oh and by the way, Gavin's word for pumpkin is "pumppies".

And Gavin had to bring the veggietales cd with him, he calls it "choochoo" not too sure why, but he is quite obsessed these days.

So I forgot I had more catching up to do. The first few pictures are from the middle of September and somehow I forgot to put them up. But don't laugh too hard . . .

And yes those are spandex with a HOT PINK stripe and no they were not mine . . .
they were Kevin's!!! Hahaha.

And yes Gavin found them in the closet and wanted to put them on. And then continued to give us his best poses, including muscles & lots of spinning. Too funny.

Snuggle time with Daddy.

Audra looks as if she is saying, "what is he doing to me"

Gavin has been loving our cooler weather (cooler for here, so we are still in the 70's) and has been spending any moment he is allowed outside. One day it had rained so the backyard was a little muddy, since we don't have much of a yard yet. So he would accidently throw the baseball out in the mud and then would put on my shoes to attempt to go get the baseball.

And he is very in to wanting to share his hats with everyone, especially Audra. Gavin wanted Audra to come outside with him, so I told him she could sit at the window and watch him. And they both were happy.

"CCHHEEEESSSEEE!"

He's very into wearing hats these days. This hat was a gift from Nana as part of his Halloween costume.

And lots and lots of baseball and basketball and a combination of the two.

Pumpkin Patch

This past weekend we attempted to take the children to a pumpkin patch. And well that's about all we succeeded doing, we were there. I was quite bummed, Gavin was a wreck, he wanted to be held the whole time and didn't want to participate and Audra was tired so she doesn't like to look up from the ground when she is tired. So that about sums up the trip. There was a petting zoo (where Gavin hit a pig), a corn maze, pony rides (which we didn't even attempt), lots of little games and of course a hayride to pick out a pumpkin.

Here Gavin is doing what he did best that day, sulking and pouting and whining.

I thought that food might make him a little happier, but that didn't work much either.
Not too often you see pumpkins in the middle of the desert.
This was about the best picture I got of them all day, Audra looking at the ground and Gavin at least was not pouting.

And this was about as close as Gavin wanted to get to Audra, this from the boy who usually I can't get off of her.

No smiles, but at least she looked up for me.

What a fun hayride. And on the way back he dropped the pacifier off the ride and we lost it. Lovely.

My favorite picture of the day. Well one good picture at least.

It wasn't really what I had in mind for our day, but that's just how it goes sometimes with a toddler and infant, they are unpredictable.
