Warning: Possible Gavin Overload

Tattle Time: This actually happened this summer, but I keep forgetting to tell on him. We were at Porter Park and he had to go potty (#2) so we went to the bathroom. He did his thing and was bouncing up and down on the toilet. I asked him what he was doing and he said "The poop is stuck, it won't come off". I told him to just squeeze his cheeks together to help it fall. He looked at me like I was crazy and then put his hands on both sides of his face and squeezed his CHEEKS together!! I was laughing so hard I was almost crying! I guess I should have specified which cheeks!!!

 I guess we are skipping prayers and story time tonight

 Gavin wanted to color so I gave him his markers AND PAPER. Instead he gave the pumpkin place mat a very colorful beard!! He was so proud of it = )

 Helping Paul and Erin with their sprinkler system. He is such a good helper with every thing. He LOVES to vacuum and does a really good job. He is also a SUPER window washer and does an excellent job of putting the silverware away out of the dishwasher.

 Busted!! See the wet spot behind Gavin on the right hand side? He went pee behind grandpa's shed!

 He taped his own mouth shut

 "Mommy look, I'm flying!"

I am sooo JEALOUS of his incredibly long lashes! Can you believe these are real?

My Super Man

Cody left to go get his Elk tag and other various man stuff leaving me with a very hyper 3 year old. I was trying to catch up on my e-mail (the same emails I have been trying to catch up on for almost 2 weeks and haven't had time) and it was taking forever because of my every two minute interruptions from Gavin.

Cody finally came home and I was excited because Cody could keep Gavin occupied while I finished. Instead Cody comes in and interrupts me and said, "There is stuff on the front seat of my truck can you go out and get it for me?" I thought to myself " All I want to do is check my email in peace" followed by "Seriously? You were just out there why didn't you bring it in yourself?"( I know, I know I was being mean, but I just wanted to do ONE THING with NO INTERRUPTIONS!) He asked me again so I went to his truck to get the mysterious items he couldn't bring in himself. This is what I found...

Boy did I feel stupid!

Thank you sweetie! Your are AMAZING and I LOVE YOU!!!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

 I won 6 tickets to the Wild Adventure Corn Maze on the radio, whoo hoo!

 Liz and Talmage, Cody, Gavin and I

 Erin and Paul

(Ozzy and Bean)

 Cassie, Maycee (under blanket), Drake, Treysen and Kessler

 Talmage, Oliver, Liz and Teagan

 My two favorite boys : )

 I just thought this was so cute, both of them waiting patiently in line for the Corn Cannon

Gavin was so excited because he "shot the bottom of the big robot" with the Corn Cannon. Later he told me it was his favorite part of the day.

Cody's 3 Day Birthday Extravaganza!

 Day One: 

 He had a party at his parents house with his side of the family

 Day Two:

 I bought Cody a Sanza MP3 player (so I can reclaim my IPod)  and a water bottle for his bike that he rides ALL the time now and Gavin bought him another game for the Wii (they like to play it together)

 Liz and Oliver

 It was Liz's birthday too so we all went to Famous Dave's to celebrate.

 Oldie Cody and I

 Liz and I's buddy Lora came too!

 ...and we can't forget David!

 Happy Birthday Liz! You finally caught up to me (at least for a month)

 Cody "blowing" out his candles

 Day 3:

Party at my parents house. I'm always pretty excited because whatever he gets for his birthday I get too, but this year he just got a lot of clothes because none of his fit anymore due to his insane amount of exercising and healthy eating, but I'm not complaining. 

I just had to add these because I think they are cute! Make a Wish!

Girls Day Out

My sister Karen, mom Jolene, Me, Sis-in-law Maria and Sis-in-law Erin

We finally had our first Girls Day Out (at least with all of us) since my brother Paul married Erin (2 years ago)! We went to "Life As We Know It" which was cute, however, I did cry more than I thought I would. Then we had some lunch and did a little shopping. It was so fun getting all of us together FINALLY with no husbands and no babies! Hopefully it won't take us 2 years to get another one planned.

Barber Shop

 Cody decided it was time that Gavin had his first trip to a real barber shop so he took him to "Deluxe Barber Shop" on "A" Street. Cody didn't know which one to take him to since he hadn't been in years himself (his sister is our hairdresser) so he called a bunch of them in town to see who sounded "The Coolest" on the phone, so good for you Mr. Deluxe Barber shop, you win the prize for being the coolest guy at the barber shop!

It's pretty hard to see because of the couch, but these were their new haircuts

Grandma is 80!

 My Grandma turned 80 on Oct. 8th. She is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet.  We all mailed her birthday cards with gift cards to JCPenney's so she could go shopping and we threw her a surprise birthday party the night of her birthday. It was a lot of fun!

 Still full of life after 80 years! 

 Did I mention she raised 9 children?

 Grandma Lorna and me!

She is just a little thing and one of her favorite sayings is

"Dynamite comes in little packages"

Myself, Grandma and my mom : )

 My mom, sister Karen and Sister in Law took her shopping the weekend after her birthday and she was a very spoiled lady. She was able to buy lots of stuff with all the gift cards everyone sent her.

WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA AND HOPE YOU HAD AN AMAZING BIRTHDAY!!!
