A Relaxing Day on the Lake

What a great day for relaxing on the lake with our neighbors! That's exactly what we did today, and Gavin loved every second of it! He was a little more hesitant about getting in the water this time, but he eventually warmed up to the idea and would sit and kick his feet. He did, however, want everyone else to go swimming though! He also loved splashing the noodle in the water after "Aunt" Lorrie showed him how to, but I think the highlight of his day on the boat was the mini M&M's that he got to eat!

I didn't get the chance to take too many videos since the battery on our camera died, but here is one of the videos that I did manage to get today. In this video, you can see what a ham Gavin is becoming. He even pauses to say, "cheese" when he sees that the camera is pointed at him.

Here's a new video of Gavin driving the boat with "Uncle" Brad. He LOVES getting to drive!

Baby #2's Ultrasound Pictures

Here are some of the pictures that we got from our ultrasound today. It's amazing how much detail they can get from a 3D/4D ultrasound.

Now all we need is a name. Any suggestions?????

At the zoo with Grandma Yallaly

Gavin loves going to the zoo, so we decided to go there during Grandma Yallaly's visit. We had a great day! Gavin played on the giant giraffe slide, climbed on the gorilla and the lion, and ran through the prairie dog tunnel. We were even lucky enough to see the lions laying right up against the glass. His favorite exhibit is the monkeys, though. If it were up to Gavin, we'd stare at the monkeys all day long! Here are some pictures of Gavin and Grandma Yallaly at the zoo.

A Visit from Hannah

Gavin was lucky enough to have his big cousin Hannah visit. He had a TON of fun playing with her, and I just know he'll be so sad when she has to leave tomorrow. He especially loved playing ball with her. When he woke up this morning, he refused to play football with anyone except Hannah. Here are some pictures of them playing at the park on Friday afternoon.

Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July! We had a little barbecue at home with Dan, Corrie, and their baby, Ben. Gavin was very sweet to Ben. He shared all of his toys and even crawled around all over the floor with Ben.

Here's a video of Gavin and Ben dancing to Gavin's favorite cd.

And a couple pictures of Gavin trying to "feed" Ben.

Sandy Point at Lucky Peak

We brought Gavin to Sandy Point Beach at Lucky Peak on our anniversary. Gavin had so much fun at the "bea" He loved digging in the sand! It was an impromptu trip, so we didn't have the forethought to pack beach toys for Gavin to play with. We only brought him a shovel and a rake. The poor kid stared longingly at the other children's beach toys. He was happy after lunch, though, when he got to use his yogurt container and his veggie container to build sandcastles. Brandon even taught him how to build them and then smash them! Gavin thought that was lots of fun. He wanted to smash everyone's castles! Uh-oh! I guess we'll have to keep our eyes on him whenever we go to the beach to make sure he doesn't smash another child's hard work! :)

Here's a video of Gavin and Brandon playing in the water. I love the giggles!
