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!!!!

More Videos of Avery

Since I am such a blogging slacker these days, check out John and Linda's blog (link to the right) for a couple of cute videos of Avery! I promise I will blog again, soon! Very soon.

Avery Laughing at Gavin

Avery is 8 Months Old!

My precious boy is 8 months old! Wow, how time flies! He finally decided, today, to roll over from his back to his tummy! Avery is the sweetest baby ever, and he brings so much joy to us all!

We love you, Baby Boy!

The Big Boys!

Trevor decided, today, that he wanted to be "French". (O.K..?!?)

Kung Fu Panda and Kung Fu Gavin.Chia Po

Avery and Gavin

We had dinner at my mom's house this evening. As we were walking through the hallway, we noticed the picture on the wall of Gavin when he was 6 months old. Isn't the resemblance uncanny!?

No "tummy time" for this little guy!

Avery has never liked tummy time, so ever since he learned how to roll, front to back, he won't stay on his front! He still hasn't rolled the other way, yet, because he is just too content on his back! He just might even learn to get around that way! (See video.)

Playing with puppy, which used to be Trevor's.

(Trevor's name for this puppy was "Baby Sister"!)

Big brother, Gavin...the light of Avery's life! (O.K. So, he has a few!)

Avery is 7 Months Old!

Hooray for Batteries!!!

Thrifty Mama!

I've discovered a new children's consignment shop in the area. I'm so excited to have one...a NICE one...close by! I don't see any reason to shop anywhere else, now! They go up to size 14, too, which is good because Gavin is the one that doesn't get hand-me-downs! The first time I went in, I spotted a toy I really wanted to get for Avery. (They have a better toy selection than Target! I can't wait till his first birthday!) So, I came home and rifled through my kids' things and put together a box of stuff that earned enough credit to get the toy! I was so happy... just look how happy Avery is! He loves it! And we haven't even put batteries in it, yet!

Look out, Grandma! You're going to have another piano pupil before you know it!

That'll Teach Him!

Avery loves his Daddy!
