Elmo Book

I had forgotten that one of my friends had gotten me a gift card to Barnes and Nobles for a baby shower gift. Well I remembered today and let Gavin go pick out his very own book by himself. He was so excited and very proud. He picked out an Elmo book... of course!

Falling in Love Play Date

Since Gavin was really little he has had a little crush, and if you knew her, she's crushing back. Violet is about 7 months older than Gavin but they act like the cutest couple when they are together. Today Violet and Ammon can to play while their mom went on exchanges with the Sister Missionaries and the older kids were at school. 

I just love how she is looking at Gavin with love! This was their first lunch date...
don't worry Ammon and I chaperoned ;) 

Clinton's B-day!

We didn't do anything majorly exciting for Clint's birthday this year but we did go out to dinner (Friday night before, his birthday was on Sunday 23rd) and he got a few little gifts. He's favorite was the new phone case I bought him, it's Gavin's too. He loves to play with it!

Gavin loves to get in the car by himself. Here he is getting ready to shop for Daddy.

They love to play together. What better way to spend his birthday than with his baby boy?!

Lovely Valentines

Our friend Tia watched Gavin during the day and we went out for a date this year.  I got flowers in the mail before hand. the day of I got a beautiful necklace and earrings. I made chocolate covered strawberries, and got all the boys little gifts. My dad always did this for us girls so I thought it was only fitting I do it for all our boys. Gavin helped to finger paint Daddy's card from him and I and we got him some computer items he already had used so I don't have a picture of that. For our date we went mattress shopping and got ourselves a new comfortable one that was way past due for, then went out to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory!

I love Clint and all the boys and I'm so glad to have them in my life! Happy Valentines Day everyone!

Snowy day and Jello Jigglers

Since we've had tons of snow this winter I've wanted to take Gavin outside to play, but it's been WAY to cold to so do. Today it was finally warm enough for us to play. I took him out when he was a baby to lay in his first snow, but this was his first time playing in it and he LOVED it!

After Gavin came in and decided to warm up in his chair with chocolate milk and some cartoon is his chair. He's a man alright and has his remote (an old one w/o batteries) and his cup.

This picture is for my Grandpa Burnett.
For those who don't know he died the day I went into the hospital to have Gavin. I feel strongly that he did so, so he could send my baby boy down to me. I think in their short time together he taught Gavin many things, one would be the above picture. My grandpa always sat on the couch like this, one leg over the armrest, and Gavin does this all the time no matter if it's this chair, car-seat, or high-chair. I love him and I'm so glad I can remember my grandpa when I look at him like this! I love you Grandpa!

 Then for a bedtime snack, I made Gavin his first jello-jigglers! He thought it was fun to play with and eat!
