Easter Party

Opening our Easter baskets! Keagan was crazy about his big lamb that he got! Couldn't stop screaching at it.
Then after church our house was filled with something like 22 people. It was great to have our families here and the friends in our life who are so much like family!!!

A little egg hunting!

Mark and Erica, weeks away from having a little Easter egg hunter of their own!
Serious Egg painting time!
This was the first year that Gavin got to paint eggs. It was serious business and he could have done it for hours.
Aunti Rara snuggling Keagan after his nap time!

Gavin's Birthday Party

For Gavin's 3rd Birthday we were able to have a family party with the Werner side there too! It was a full house. Daddy and Nana Cheri grilled up some yummy ribs and Gavin knew the day was all about him.

Our First Camping Trip

Last weekend, April 25 & 26, we went out on our first camping adventure with the boys....ok....so this is easy peasy camping...in a trailer. I always said I wanted our boys to experience camping in a tent, but I guess we got a little impatient, waiting for them to be ready. So, we broke down and bought a trailer. It will take a little bit before we have a system down, but I think this is going to be great family time and a great way to get outside without completely sleepless nights.

Here is a picture of Keagan snuggling in our bed in the morning.
Gavin, still waking up as he waits for us to pull him out of his top bunk~
The boys snuggling a little. Gavin and Keagan really do adore eachother. Nothing makes my happier to see them becoming the best of friends!
A view of our bed and some of our little itty bitty home!

Gavin! Up and down, and up and down and up and down the slide.

Kennedy is such a baby-lover. She is so great with Keagan and he loves her back!

Gavin turns 3

Three years ago, God blessed us with our sweet Gavin. As he becomes more and more of his own person, we couldn't be more proud. He is a loving and gentle brother, a very curious explorer, an active and adventurous climber, swing lover, loud singer, brave shot getter, mommy and daddy helper, kind share-er and friend, sweet little loving boy!
Last year, when the Thorntons lived with us....I found out they surprise their kids with a birthday donut on the morning of thier birthday...so I had to steal the idea....and it was a hit. Gavin was all smiles when we walked in.
My sweet boy
Such a Daddy's boy

Then we headed out for a great day at the zoo. Gavin could have stayed all day.

Brother picture after our picnic break in the shade. It was a perfectly GORGEOUS day.
For his birthday present, Gavin got a mini grill with his own tools....as anytime Aaron heads out to grill us some dinner, rain or shine, Gavin is right there beside him. So, we decided he needed his own little set.

Ooohhh...birthday cake time.....
Always...always must lick the candles!
