Birthday Wishes

We wanted to wish UNCLE CAM a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! We wish we could be there to celebrate with you. We love you and miss you lots!!!
Oh and its kind of hard to see on the sign, but Gavin wrote Happy Birthday, he wrote each letter above the letter I wrote. Too funny. We love you lots and lots.
And don't mind the droopy eyes we have ear infections again. Fun times!

Justin Bieber

Well we all know Gavin's love for Mr. Bieber, well click on the link for something a little fun. Gavin thought it was great, he kept going on and on about "Bieber & Gabin", yes he calls himself Gabin, too funny. Oh and just ignore the fact that Gavin's head is on a girls body, he didn't notice that part, just loved that he was dancing with Biebs.

The Park

Last week my mom was here for a visit and to watch our kiddos so Kevin & I could have a weekend away with our friends. We are so incredibly fortunate for the time we had with her. Thanks Grammy. The weather was quite cool while Grammy was here, however towards the end of her trip it did warm up enough to head to the park. It was fun to see miss Audra start to enjoy the park and the slides, and she can't wait till she is big enough to get down and run around with Gavin.
While Kevin & I were away, Grammy taught Gavin how to climb up the ladder. He was quite excited to show me. He is getting so big, its crazy.

Look at that staticy hair!

I was looking through my phone the other day and saw all of these cute photos. Audra's entire life at a glance. Enjoy.

We Love Our Mandy!

So I came across a blog today, Kelly's Korner, where she is trying to help set up her single friends. It is like an online dating service and I love it and of course had the perfect person in mind. My amazingly wonderful, bestest sister, Mandy!! And she gave me the ok. So I am have post here telling how wonderful she really is and then link it to Kelly's Korner for all to read, and if people are interested they leave me comments. Woohoo!! Let's find Mandy a MAN!

And here we go . . .

How can one say all there is to be said about Mandy.

Even on her worst day she is far more than dandy.

In the interest of time lets get down to the truth.

Mandy's smile shines brighter than a flash in a Photo booth.

Her beauty is like a seaside scape.

One too grand for words, your breath it will take.

But what's most important about her is at her core.

One conversation with Mandy will leave you wanting more.

You've heard the song, Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

And I'll attest Mandy is no exception to this one.

To win Mandy's heart there's a few things you might need to know.

First brush up on your movie trivia, best bring your "A" game, that's 'fo shoow.

Next you should love to sit down and relax and not be afraid to let time slowly pass
To Mandy you don't have to live in the fast lane to succeed,
Few things in life give her greater joy than a good read.
To say we are finished would be untrue, but now the rest must be found out by you............

That lovely rhyme was written by my wonderful husband Kevin. I do not have those skills, but i thought it would be the perfect way to talk about Mandy because writing funny, rhyming poems her way of honoring people on their birthday on her blog (check it out, its quite hillarious). I obviously love my sister dearly, she is amazingly beautiful inside and out, loves the Lord with all her heart. She is gracious and thoughful, funny and sarcastic, and an amazing Auntie to my children. She is in her mid 20's and lives in southern California. And I pray that the Lord blesses her with an amazing husband someday.

If you are looking for someone like Mandy or know someone who is let me know.

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!
