Easter Dress...pants

These are a few pictures I took this week of Gavin dressed up for Easter. I wanted to make sure we got several shots when it wasn't too busy. I always like photographing outside best and Gavin did really well especially when holding his bunny Alice or eating a tasty treat.



Today, we had Easter with my side of the family. There are tons of pictures and stories but I'm honestly quite too tired to pick up the camera anymore to sort through it all. Tomorrow will be a new day and honestly, as one of my friends said, I will be happy for some rejoicing on Sunday. Jesus' resurrection is definitely something to be rejoicing about.

Easter Practice

Gavin took time out of his day to practice with the Easter bucket I made him last year.The plus side - he can carry it around this year.The, shall we call other side - it clangs as it hits the wood floor. At least we always know where he is.

I think he likes this better. Less wind-resistance without the pants.

Bath Time

We have a little fishy on our hands.

Who me? Yes you.

This fishy loves his bath time, and I know is going to love swimming this summer.

Egg-citing Stuff!

Sooo Egg-citing! Gavin and I got to spend some time Saturday with our friend Summer who flew in from Kansas City. We like to think she came to see us, but she was one busy lady making the rounds to all of her Texas friends. By the way, I welcomed her back to the Great State of Texas and she thought that was funny. That's a common term to Texans isn't it?

Gavin was also so Egg-cited about helping gather the eggs. If he thinks I'm stuffing those giant eggs with candy, he's rather mistaken.

Oh, but who could resist this face?

Gardening with Gavin 101

Hi. My name is Gavin and I'm here to help Mommy and Daddy plant our first garden. See, I'm pretty good at supervising, so I'm just going to sit back and give orders, I mean make suggestions.

First, you have to pick high quality seeds. I decided to go with the carrots. They used to be my favorite vegetable, but now I don't think any vegetable is my favorite. Mommy says they will give me x-ray vision, so we'll give them a whirl again.

Here's Daddy tilling up the dirt and pulling weeds. What's wrong Pops?

Aww, that's better. He's a regular ol' Farmer Brown.

From here, I just watched them plant the carrots, jalapenos, and strawberries. That's going to make for a very strange salad if you ask me. (Which they didn't.)

Mommy let me help her water the seeds in.

Then we finished our hard work with a big gulp of water right from the hose.
Check back in a month or so for the fruits and vegetables of our labor.

So Much Sand

We crammed a lot into this beautiful weekend, but for now, here's a few pics of the little one playing in his sand box.
I did what any mom would do when their kid gets sand in their mouth....grab the camera.

Gavin didn't seem to mind. He kept right on playing with his green self.

Family Pictures

Our very talented friend Leo Longoria took some family pictures for us a few months back. We didn't know how the day was going to go because the most dense form of fog rolled in that morning. But to attest to the talent that is Leo Longoria, he snapped some pretty pleasing pictures. And now that we've about used them for everything from Christmas cards to birthday presents, I wanted to post them and tell you to head on over to his website, please.....Leo Longoria.
