Family time!





My cousins came down with Grandpa Jim and Grandma to my house to see me. We went on a walk and dug potatoes and then took a bath and got our jammies on and watched a movie. Then today we went on another walk and then went swimming. I put the funnel on my head and said I was the princess so Garret put the cup on his head and said he was the King. And Bret's my new favorite buddy. I hope to see them again soon - we had a lot of fun! And dey bery nice!!

Pics from the zoo!






I went to the Zoo with Rissa!

On Friday Mommy and Dab and I went to the Zoo in Omaha with Rissa and her Mom and Dab and Sister. We all had a good time looking at the animals. I think it was more fun because I got to go with Rissa and Dab got to talk to Rissa's Dab. After the zoo we went to the Buck Deer store (Cabela's) to see all the aminals. It was fun. Then we ate and took a nap on the way home. I can't wait to do something with Rissa again!!

I got songs!


I finally took the time tonite to load some songs onto Matt's mp3 player. Gavin saw Matt and I listening to it and grabbed the mp3-sized radio off the table, turned it on himself, and said Hey, I got songs!
(I know the photo's sideways but my photo editor was not cooperating, just turn your head.)

Ice Cream Sunday




On Sunday Heather, Baby Xan, Uncle Harold and Great Grandpa came down. Grandma and Papa came over and after lunch we all made homemade ice cream! Gavin was a good cranker (hey, you have to work if you want to eat) and patiently waited until it was done. Right before the ice cream was done Grandpa Jim came back from fishing and look what he caught!!

A day on the farm





Saturday Larissa and Reyana came over and we decided to take the kids to Jessie's farm to see the baby piggies and baby chicks. The kids had a GREAT time! They got to play with a couple little piggies and see the BIG mommy pigs. And pet the cat, and chase the dog, and see the horse and even hold some baby chickens. After all our hard work touring the farm the kids played for awhile and then decided it was time for a nap on the hammock! I think they all had a good time!

Papa's little helper


Papa was over Thursday night puttying and sanding the walls in our hallway so we could repaint it. OF COURSE once Gavin saw Papa working he HAD to help him. Good thing he didn't realize Papa was sanding and he was just

playing with a roller. You can tell he's all boy since he's only wearing underware! And what color did we paint it (and if you know me you know it's not white)? Well I guess you'll just have to come see us to find out!

The Grocery Man




I went to WalMart after work tonite. I had a lot of groceries to put away so I put the frozen stuff away and went to check my email. When I came back to put the rest away I found a 'grocery train' with the cutest little 2 yr old conductor. The best part was that the conductor actually knew where the groceries went and was putting them away all on his own. It was so nice!! Hopefully the grocery train (complete with the woo woos and all aboards) will stop by again the next time I go shopping!

Tookie time!





Gavin's cousins came over Thursday night and we decorated Easter cookies. The girls did a good job and Gavin was content just watching, for awhile. But then he decided HE wanted to decorate, so Grandma helped him out a little bit. I think everyone had a good time and the mess wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. And Mommy ended up with a nice basket of tookies to take to work! But I think Gavin must have eaten a few too many cookies because he was still awake at 12:30. Oops! (ok one of these days I'll figure out how to put the photos by the words that describe them. One of these days hopefully!)

It's time for a change!

Hey, guess what? (see I told you I said that a lot) I got a new job! Woohoo!!!!! Starting April 23 I will be working for Farm Credit Services of America in their Beatrice office. I'm sooooo excited I can't wait to start. My friend Erin works there so it will be nice to know someone already. There are a few people from my current job I will miss but it will be a great opportunity for me with A LOT of advancement opportunity. But I have to dress up every day :shock: I don't know if my body will know how to function out of jeans and comfy shoes.

Birthday party, Birthday party, Birthday party!!




Gavin threw me a birthday party last night. He went shopping with Grandma and picked out the plates, napkins, and cups. He got white cups for the boys, pink cups for the girls, big pink cups for the Mommies and the Dabs could just drink beer. (Think he's been spending too much time at the gas station with Dab and Unk Dean?) Then last Sunday we went to WalMart and he picked out a cake. After 20 minutes and three trips through the cake book he finally settled on a cake that had Happy Birthday candles. So we went to order it and when we got to the design I pointed to the one he picked out and said he likes this but in green. To which he quickly replied No wait, WAIT. We want a Diego cake. So the lady showed us the Diego cake they had and Gavin pointed at it and said Right there, that's it! So being the nice Mommy I am, I had a Diego cake at my party. And Gavin and Grandma went in Friday and ordered the balloons too. I must say Gavin is quite the little party planner!

Hey, guess what?

Hey, guess what? I created a blog!

I've been thinking for awhile that I should have a blog so the far away relatives could keep track of Gavin. Then I had to decide on a title. FINALLY after about a week I realized that I say, "Hey, guess what?" quite a lot so I thought it was fitting. So sit down, fasten your seatbelts and hopefully I won't get bored with this and forget to keep you guys updated. :)
