A year has gone by....

I can't believe that over a year has gone by. Gavin is doing amazing and getting so big! He starter going to a preschool/daycare and loves it! He has started sounding out letters. Ask him what letter makes an Ahhh sound. He loved that game.. He loves letters and numbers. To him they are games. He weighs in at about 45 pounds. Size 11.5 feet! Tall boy too over 42.5 inches. I will post some updated pictures. Gavin still loves to sing and play instruments. Over the summer he learnedto swim face down in the pool. He comes up with something new every day. Loving every moment!

A New Post

Wow so much has happened since my last blog. Not so much as in mile stones but just fun. Gavin has become excellent at his alphabet. He can recognize letters anywhere. When he isn't being stubborn he can read his name, mom, dad and Diego. He amazes Kenney and me every day. Recently he started counting to 10. Gavin was doing gymnatics for a couple months not sure when we will start up again. He did All Comers Track Meet and he has become an avid swimmer. He loves to jump from the sides of the pool and go under water. He has just started back floating too. He does all this only using his water wings. Kenney has been playing guitar with him. Gavin knows how to hold a guitar and even some of the basic parts and respect for it. He is very particular about the color of picks he uses. Almost always asks for a green, he does like to keep Dad on his toes and will ask for a red one on occasion. His favorite songs right now are; "Some where over the Rainbow", Mr. Bojangles and Dwight Yokum songs. He is so much fun. His newest obsession is Blue Man Group. Kenney has been watching a lot of Blue Man. We went to Las Vegas in July and Nana took us to see Blue Man. It amazed me that a 2 year old could sit through a live performance but I now understand why. He thinks they are simply amazing. He loves to watch the DVD totally drums along with them and always brings his air guitar out. Here are a few pictures over the past few months. So, that was a lot but it has been a few months so I figured I would throw it all in.

Gavin, James and Anna Gavin on the 4th of July Love this pic of Gavin this is him in between events at track. Gavin, Ethan and Katie Gavin at track doing the long jump. Grandma and Me Gavin meeting Blueman. He was a little freaked at first it was a little crazy. Then when we left he blew him a kiss. Gavin playing Our Family Gav and his pal Hannah.

Hawaii

Thank you sooooo much Nana & Papa for taking us to Hawaii. Nana, Papa, Jacob, Travis, Becky, Zayne, Mason, Great-Grandpa, Great-Grandma, Gavin, Kenney and I all went to Hawaii. Becky's Aunt and Uncle also met up with us as well. We had so much fun. We did a lot of things including; snorkeling, Luau, Beach time, Travis and Becky's Vow Renewal, outrigger canoe, surfing and lots of great restaurants. It really was so amazing. We stayed at the Outrigger on Waikiki. The staff was so amazing. The housekeeper made it a point to always welcome our day and close out our night. She remember the kids names and left nice notes. I would really suggest staying there. Jimmy Buffet's restaurant was soooooo amazing. We only went the last night had we known we probably would have gone every night. Breakfast was a buffet that was included in our package and was facing the amazing Pacific Ocean every morning. I can't even begin to say how difficult it was to come home.

Hanama Bay this is where we went snorkeling. Kenney, Nana and I saw a turtle. He was really cool and looked really hungry. Nana and I were paying too much attention to the turtle and missed the baby hammerhead shark that was just over the other side of the reed. Kenney thought it was pretty amazing.
This was our other view from our balcony. Diamond Head. Really amazing.

Travis and Becky's Vow Renewal
Great Grandpa & Grandma also had a great time.
The boys couldn't sit still to watch the whole vow ceremony so Papa & Nana took the boys to play in the sand.
This was our morning/breakfast view.
Spam is really big in Hawaii ever since the military brought it over, McDonald's even serves Spam. This was Spam Jam a big street fair. It was really hard to go anywhere.
This was our view from our bedrooms. Can you believe it? So amazing I was inspired to read my Bible.

On the Arizona Memorial. Truly something everyone should experience.
Gavin did a lot of this. He fell asleep 2 times at dinner. One night he was chowing down on a crab cake the next minute his head dropped and he was sound asleep.

Easter Egg Hunt 2009.

Easter 2009. We had a big day. We went to Seattle then up to Bellingham. Gavin had a great time. His nanny (Kenney's mom) had a big Easter Egg Hunt. Gavin was the youngest and took home a $10 egg. All on his own. His cousin brought him a frog. Gavin thought it would be cool to jump behind him and follow him. Then Aunit Cher thought it would be perfect to put the frog in an egg and give it to Daddy. It was pretty funny.

Gavin's new hair cut.

I totally messed up while cutting Gavin's hair. I took the guard off the clippers to trim up his ears and neck and well like every 2 year old he moved around and up the head the clippers went. I tried to save what I could, but Daddy thought it would look better if I just shaved it off. So here is Gav's new cut.. Poor guy.. Sure makes his head look bigger.
