Gavin's 10th Birthday Party!

Ok, I'm tired of messing around, so I'm just going to post these pictures out of order. (It's really killing the perfectionist in me.) Just imagine you're watching that backwards Seinfeld episode. Ha! So, first, (last..?) is Avery dancing to his new drum! So cute! He's a natural!Dad helping Avery open a late birthday present from Uncle Paul and Aunt Alicia.He loves it! Thanks, PandA! Whose birthday party is this, anyway? Oh look, opening the same present...

Heeeeere's Gavin! He wanted a baseball themed party, so he made a concession stand, complete with hot dogs, lemonade, watermelon, popcorn, cracker jacks, etc...Gavin, Justice, Trevor, and Cami. The best of friends!Time to open presents!What!?Could it be!?It is! Thanks, Grandma & Grandpa! And Mariners' tickets, too!Gavin and Trevor in their new jersey's. My Three Sons!

Arrrrrrgh!

I am really sorry to say, I've had it with blogger! I have been trying all day to post about Gavin's 10th birthday party and blogger is being STUPID!!!! It won't let me rearrange my pictures and it's really irritating me. I have been very lax in my blogging lately, and this glitch certainly isn't making me want to blog more! You'd think that with all of the new-fangled social networking sites out there (IE: Facebook), that blogger would want to try to keep up and actually try to be USER FRIENDLY!! But, NO! I will keep trying for a little longer. Although, based on the number of comments I've been getting (or not getting) I don't even know if anyone is reading anymore, anyway. Which, quite frankly, makes all of this blogging time and frustration seem like a waste of time. Sorry for the rant, folks. I just had to vent. I'm not giving up...yet.

Avery at the Lake

We are having a heat wave, so we met some friends at the lake, yesterday, to cool off!

Avery in the Pool

I am ridiculously behind on blogging, but here's a little something. I took the boys swimming, today and Avery just LOVED being in the pool! Silly me, I didn't wear my swim suit because I just didn't feel like dealing with Avery with myself in a swim suit that may or may not fit me at the moment... Anyway, he was enjoying the water so much, and I can never resist water, so I got in with him in my clothes! It was so fun!

Happy Father's Day!

This is the Father's Day card the boys and I made for Bryan.

Still Laughing

As promised, here is the other video. I can't figure out how to rotate it, so you're going to have to tilt your head or your computer. Sorry! (I rotated it on my computer but every time I upload it to blogger it puts it sideways, again! It's just too cute to not post, though.)

I'm still here!

If I have any followers left, please forgive me for neglecting my blog, so! Hopefully this little post will remind me how much I love blogging and make me want to stay on top of it. (A few nice comments couldn't hurt, either! *wink*) Avery's first birthday is fast approaching and I've noticed that he is over his baby toys. He'd much rather play with a sock or a water bottle or chase the cat. So, I decided it was time to pack up a bunch of rattles, teethers, and rings and dig out the ol' Little People from the garage. He had a great time, as you can see! Almost as much fun as Trevor had showing him how they work!

I have another video that isn't loading properly at the moment. I guess that will give me something to post tomorrow! So...Y'all come back now, ya hear? (Hee Haw flashback?)

Avery's First Haircut

On the Move!

Trevor found a way to get Avery crawling! This was yesterday. Today, he is officially crawling "normally"! Look out!

Bzz Report

I recently became a BzzAgent (www.bzzagent.com), which means that I get to try various products, for free, in exchange for giving my feedback and telling my friends! My first Bzz Campaign is John Frieda, Root Awakening hair care products. Unfortunatly, it's hard for me to get a good read on it because they sent me the Shampoo and Conditioner for dry hair, and I have pretty normal, healthy hair. Therefore, even though I like it, I can't go as long between shampoos as I normally do without my hair looking greasy. I would say, however, that if you DO have dry hair, this product would probably work wonders! My scalp feels healthy and I love the eucalyptus scent! If anyone wants a free sample or a coupon, let me know!

Avery's 10 Month Photo Shoot

Since I don't seem to be getting Avery to a studio to get professional pictures done, I decided to just do it myself. I took these, yesterday, with the help of a couple silly brothers!

Happy Mother's Day!

Our friend and Children's Pastor, Tammy, wrote this precious song that some of the kids sang at church, today. (Gavin is on the right, between the girls.)

Chuck E. Cheese

Kim and I surprised all the boys by taking them to Chuck E. Cheese's for lunch, today! Boy, were they surprised! (I told them we had errands to run.) I wish I would have gotten some pictures of Kim's boys, too... but let's face it, I was barely able to get these! You might think we're crazy (WE think we're crazy!), but it was actually pretty peaceful because we went in the middle of the day when all the other kids were in school! (As you can see, there's no one else in the pictures!) Plus, with the recent health scare, they were disinfecting everything every hour! (Not to say that I didn't also cover us all in prayer and anti-bacterial!) "Who are you and why are you in my car?"

Cruisin' with Chuckie.

The Cutest Baby EVER!

My mom must have taken this picture of Avery when she was baby-sitting the other day. I had never seen it until she emailed it to me, today! I just about melted...I love that little face!!!!

Easter at Grandma and Grandpa's

What a Good Big Brother!
