Shaving lesson, KY Derby, and Farmer Gavin

Our day started off with a shaving lesson from Daddy. It was his very first time shaving with him and he thought he was such a hot stuff and a big boy it was cute!

Spring time in Louisville means the KY Derby and it's always a time of the year I miss living there. One tradition that I keep is making Derby Pie, which is my ultimately my favorite pie but it is very rich so I only have it once a year.

After the race we went out to my in-laws for a little while and Gavin loves to play at the farm.

Best of Friends

Violet and Gavin are the best of friends. Since Violet was about a year old and Gavin was about 6 months old they have been connected at the hips. She would bring him toys and snacks during church meetings, and then as they got older they played together, they fight, they make up just like kid and adult friendships. Well today Violet came over for a play-date while Shari (her mom) was on a field trip with one of her older kids. The two of them had a blast playing inside and outside, and they even had a picnic and took "their baby" on a walk around the house in the stroller.

It was fun to have her over so I could have some girl time. She brought over her nail polish because she wanted me to do them.

Gavin wanted his nails painted blue, he was feeling left out.

 

 

Pretty Weather = Outside Play

The weather has been really pretty lately which means Gavin and I are spending a lot of our time outside playing. I'm glad that he likes to spend so much time out there as most kids nowadays don't spend enough of their time outside.  Here's just some of the fun we've had this week at home and at Forest Park, our favorite to go play at.
