Happy Birthday Gavin 4/20/09

My sweet little man is 1!!! I am so amazed at how much he has grown over the last year, and a little sad that he is no longer a baby, but very happy to have the baby stage over with.

He is a momma's boy for sure and love's to be right on my hip. He loves to make people laugh and loves any kind of encouragement. He loves to wrestle and slobber all over anyone who will lay on the floor and take it. He has certainly stolen my heart.

Walking around a little, and he is walking more and more every day.

The baseball cake I made for his birthday:

For those of you who know Gavin, you already know that he is such a man, but here is more proof with "The Man Laugh"

Kite's and Curlers

I just wanted to document Hailey's first round of curlers. She is such a cute girl and was so excited to put in the curlers. When we took them out the next morning it was serious Shirley Temple, and of course I didn't take a picture of the finished product.

We had a great time flying kites, and I really wish it looked more like this outside now, because it is snowing at the moment. Hailey and Gavin had a ball, but I actually think that Greg had the most fun reliving his childhood.

She is just growing up SO fast.

Hoppy Easter

Though this first part has nothing to do with Easter, I wanted to share my recent cake decorating skills. I have been having a lot of fun teaching myself how to write with frosting and this is just cake is just like the "Nothing Bunt Cakes"

Now for Easter...

Our annual Easter Egg Hunt with the Andrus'

Hailey has been insistent on having her hair in pig-tails or curled. Nothing else will do, she is such a girl, and it is a crack up.

Easter Dress

Ya, good luck mom on getting a picture with both kids smiling.

Stickers from the Easter Bunny apparently must go on the face first.

Hailey and Gavin got awesome kite's for Easter. Hailey got a Buzz Lightyear kite and Gavin got an Iron Man kite. They LOVE them!

Gavin has been really wanting to walk and today (on Easter) he took a couple steps on his own.
