January through May:)

Since it has been about SIX months since my last post on here (pathetic I know), this is a VERY LARGE haul of pictures with a quick description. We are getting ready to move in two weeks so I might not be back for a little while, but it won't be this long again. And since I want to print this into a book I just couldn't leave out six months:)

The first four are just a few of my cute and growing baby boy!!! I just can not believe how fast he is growing.

 Gavin turned 5 on January 31st!!! I can't believe that he is going to be going to kindergarten:)

 This kid loves trains, cars and trucks:)

 

I made these monster cupcakes for Gavin's class but I couldn't get a good picture:( But they were  cute!!!

 

This was the cake that I made for Gavin's birthday--it turned out so cool!!! We went rock climbing  and had pizza and cake and ice cream with our good friends the Kennedys.

Rylee participated in cheerleading this year through a program called upward.  I was able to coach her squad and we really had a lot of fun:) This is definitely a program we will continue to participate in!!!

Our first snow fall of the year (I think we only had one other:)

I do love these two:)

I rolled her hair in these scraps of fabric to make it really curly the next day:)  Well if you ever had sponge rollers in  you r hair as a kid you know what it looked like--A big crazy mess:) I didn't take a picture in the morning though:(

I just thought this was a cute sleeping position:)

And cute Carter again:)

These are kind of out of order but oh well:) Here is Gavin rock climbing for his birthday!!!

And Rylee!!!

Carter got pneumonia this winter:( It was horrible!!!!! 

Carter LOVES getting his own snacks out of the pantry:)

This is a super YUMMY carrot cake that I made for Easter with a white chocolate frosting!!!

These next few pictures were a wonderful afternoon spent at Maymont park here in Richmond--a favorite!!!

My 30th birthday:)

 

Not the best picture but oh well:)

On a hike:)

Easter--I tried really hard to get a cute one of the three of them but they would not have it:)

This might be one of my new favorite pictures:)

We found a park that had sand--my kids LOVE sand!!!

especially this one--I think he could live in sand:)

So pretty!!!

HE loves to climb in Rylee's easel until he gets stuck:)

Our Saint Patrick's Day breakfast:)

These are really out of order--lol!!! Here are some more Easter, this is from the Easter bunny!!!

Carter watching a movie with the big kids:)

What a silly boy:)

So for Mother's Day Gavin's preschool had a special day for the mom's to come and have donuts and tea (it was really funny when Gavin told his teacher that is was wrong for them to drink the tea:) Any ways, they also painted our nails:) And of course Gavin had to pick out four different colors (both of my pinkies are different:)

Carter found his nose!!!

Goof balls!!!!!

Gavin's love--TRACTORS!!!!!

With Grandpa:)

Jonathan's Birthday cake. Some of my ugliest cakes end up being my tastiest:)  I made Brigitte one  for her birthday last year that was equally as ugly and so good:) This was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

Carter agrees:)

haha--notice Jared in the back:)

We are not in our 30s:)

I was able to go to Rylee's field day at school. It was so fun to watch since it was always my favorite day of the year:)

Carter got a little bored:)

Gavin's preschool graduation:)

Mrs Barney, Gavin, and Mrs Palmer. These two women are incredible!!!

Gavin's spring school concert!!!

Carter was so funny and wouldn't let me take pictures at the concert--just of him:)  He is cute and Gavin was hidden behind a taller kid--oh well:)

Yummy cookies and juice after the concert!!!

Gavin's beat friend Purnn!!!

His AMAZING teacher Mrs. Barney. We will miss her!!!

Mrs. Palmer was the aid and was equally AMAZING!!


Okay I know that was a lot but hey not bad for being six months in  one post:)
