Gavin's Ice Cream Party

I decided to do an ice cream party instead of doing a big dinner. I think it turned out really cute. I borrowed the really cute dishes from Helen. We had 5 different toppings, chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, waffle bowls, and waffle cones. He had a good time.

Gavin is 2!

How is it possible that my sweet little tiny baby is 2 already? Hasn't it just been like 6 months since he was born? It makes me sad so see him grow up so fast, yet he is such a delightful little boy. He's sweet, likes to cuddle with me, eats all kinds of crazy food that the other boys wouldn't dream of eating, sleeps very well, likes to play outside, can count to 10, trying to learn colors, and just super cute most of the time.

Disneyland Characters

We got a few pictures with some of the Disney characters, which was kind of fun. The last picture is a character by himself. :)

Disneyland part 1

We had so much fun at Disneyland! We got a 3 day pass and went Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. We got to do everything we wanted to do and even got to see the new World of Color at California Adventure. As long as we've been going, I always get a picture in front of the big A. And here's one of each of the kids.

Newport Beach

I wanted some new family pictures for our living room and thought the beach could be fun. The weather was perfect - 65 degrees and overcast. The boys, however, were not so perfect. They had fun picking up a few seashells, but were pretty difficult. Gavin wanted NOTHING to do with being put down in the sand. Brody had had enough vacation fun and was just naughty. I'm surprised we got anything at all!
The lifeguard stand was fun and had a really cute #10 on the side, but we didn't get any with it in the background. We also got soaked trying to take pictures of our feet. A wave came up that we weren't expecting to be that big and by the time you really realize that it is, it's too late to run away! Anyway, I'm glad we went and had the experience to smell the water and enjoy the sand between our toes.

Happy 4th of July!!

I wanted to get pictures of the boys in their cute shirts (and also make sure I had cute pictures for my calendar next year) and decided to do an impromptu photo shoot. Brody was super interested in me taking tons of pictures of him (cute boy). They were having a lot of fun running around.

We had a fun day going to the parade and just relaxing. HAPPY 4TH TO YOU!!

Brody's 3 1/2 Birthday Party

We celebrated Brody's 1/2 birthday since his real birthday is so close to Christmas. This year he wanted a Goofy party, so we made cupcakes and put Goofy's picture on them. He was super excited about opening presents. Some of his favorites were his monkey underwear (he LOVES underwear), his big Goofy, and anything Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He had a great time and was so cute to watch.
