Showings

So the lady from NY that looked at our condo on Friday decided to buy a brand new condo instead! Oh well, we keep trying, we have two showings tomorrow; one from 4-5 and one from 5:45-6:45. It is going to be a busy day tomorrow because Gavin and I are going to the outlet mall in the Dells with Shawna and the kids!

We had a good weekend, we went to Neenah for Octoberfest. It was alot of fun and I got to see some great frineds that I haven't seen in quite awhile, so that was nice! David decided that this was also a good weekend to build Ashley and Matt a bar in their basement. So Him and Matt did that on Saturday Morning and Sunday Morning. It turned out very nice!

This Weekend

I am THRILLED that all of my favorite shows are starting to come back on!! 2 hour Grey's Anatomy tonight!! We are very excited about that, as well as desperate housewives, brothers and sisters, Extreme home makeover, and Dancing with the Stars - Basically everything on ABC!! Speaking of Dancing with the Starts I am pretty upset that I got voted off! We do a pool board for dancing with the stars in my family and I GOT VOTED OFF LAST NIGHT, or I should say Ted did, who I had. I was so sad! I am a reality t.v. freak too! I love it all!

So last night we went to look at this house in Brooklyn, WI. A nice town, smaller and quiet! I really liked the subdivision, it was new, there were kids, and looked very friendly. The house on the other hand...we did not like. Which I was totally not expecting. I really thought we would like it. I like the outside, it had very good curb appeal. The inside was totally opposite. It is a brand new home but has been sitting on the market for three years. It is a spec home and was made with all the basics and very cheaply made. Therefore it was a NO to David, and myself. Oh well.

We have a showing tomorrow at 3:30pm. A lady from New York is moving to Madison and looking for a condo. She will only be living here for parts of the year and when she is not, there are other people she knows who would be living in it. Anyways...She is looking at a couple others too. Hopefully she will pick ours, I made sure to expess the NEW LAUNDRY to her, hehe. We are headed to Neenah this weekend. It is the annual Octorberfest going on in Appleton. We are very excited about that. Saturday morning they have a HUGE craft fair. I hope to find some cute things! It will be nice to relax and hang out with friends and family for the weekend.

Have a great weekend!

Giggles

Here is a quick video of Gavin playing with his cars this morning. I like the sounds of his giggles when he has this cold. I thought I would let you all have a listen! He was laughing because I was catching all of his cars as they would fly down the ramp! Too cute!

Gavin is sick :(

Gavin is sick :( David and I came home Saturday evening to a sick baby. It started out as a runny nose. Then came the cough and fever. Yesturday was a very low key day for us. Gavin didn't sleep well Saturday evening so we all slept alot yesturday. We have been trying to break his fever, so far it is working. He is still at 100.1. Not too bad. Seems to be in good spirits though. His voice sure sounds funny. I think it's cute, all horse and crackly! Gavin rarely gets sick, so when he does it seems to hit him hard. I think he also might be getting some molars in, so we'll see what the week brings us. Im sure it will be low key. I already cancelled some events we had going on. I would hate for other kids to get sick!

David and I had a good time at the wedding. It was nice to relax and enjoy ourselves. We missed Gavin though, so it was good to come home and see him.

Thats all for now, sorry it was a boring post!

I am in the middle of packing for Gavin and myself and ironing up a storm!! Gavin is going to spend a few days at Nana and Grandpa's house in Neenah! He is going to have a great time! They have quite a bit planned for him! David and I have a wedding to attend near Chicago tomorrow. Saturday we will go see Great Grandma hopefully and maybe make a trip to Ikea!! All in all, we should have a really good weekend, we are excited for it!

Gavin got to play with Reilly again today. We went over there and hung out for the afternoon, it seems like we were only gone for about an hour and when I was on my way home I looked at the clock and we had been gone for 3 1/2 hours. Time flys when your having fun! I love how well Gavin and Reilly play together. Shawna and I were talking today and decided that it is great that the boys can get together and have a play date, but we agreed that sometimes it's more for the Mom's that need to get together to chit chat and hang out! Next week we are planning on a Dell's shopping trip to the outlet mall.

I don't really have much to update on. This evening we had Mike Schulte over. He introduced David and I! It was nice to see him and Gavin sure had fun playing with him. Im off to finish packing and getting ready for tomorrow. I STILL do not know what im going to wear! Man o man.

Lazy Weekend.

We had a lazy weekend this weekend. And let me tell you...IT FELT GREAT! This coming week is going to be pretty busy so I am very glad we had a low key weekend!

Friday was a very good day. Gavin and I went to visit a co-worker of mine and most of all a wonderful new friend! I have to say I adore her! She just had twin girls and she has a son that is Gavin's age! We had alot of fun, we went to this really cute coffee shop that was KID friendly! One of my new favorite places to go! We then took the kids to the park, all in all, it was a great way to spend 3 hours of our day! That was the most we did all weekend to tell you the truth.

Gavin and Reilly

The twin girls, Taryn Leigh, and Reagan Elise.

Friday night we did NOTHING. Saturday we took a trip to Target, and then just stayed home the rest of the day. David, Gavin and I took a long nap, and watched movies that whole day! Something we haven't done in a really long time! Today we went to Mom and Dad VV's for that Packer Game and that was it! Like I said, a low key, lazy weekend!

We have a busy week ahead of us, and we are looking forward to it! Friday we have a Wedding. Gavin will be spending a few days with Nana and Grandpa! It will be nice for David and I to get away for a little while!

Well it is getting late, more later!

I found them!

No need to worry! I found underwear for Gavin! Plain colors and...it gets even better! BOXER BRIEFS! Too cute! Walmart super center had them! I'll have to post pictured of him in them later :)

new shoes and underwear!

We had a great day yesturday despite the rain! Around 11:30am I was working and got a nice suprise. David came home! It was raining all day and he ran out of things to do inside, and he couldn't work outside, so he came home. It was so nice, we went out to lunch and ran a few errands. David is going to be starting a HUGE project soon (4 million dollar home on Lake Monona) so he will be SUPER busy.

So yesturday while we were running errands, we went to go and look for new shoes for Gavin. Some that would be warmer than Crocs. We found him some really cute Pumas. Just like Daddy's. They fit him so good. His shoe size is size 6 but we got him a size 7 because we think with thicker socks this winter they will fit perfectly. He LOVES them. Has been wearing then all morning and he would have worn them to bed last night too if we didn't insist on taking them off! He takes after his Daddy in loving shoes!

Last night we put trianing pants on Gavin. Just to see what he would do and how well he would do. Well...he lasted for about an hour and a half. In that time we kept reminding him to tell mommy and daddy if you have to go potty. While I was cleaning up dinner he came in and he was in tears. I didn't know what happend until he pointed to his pants. Poor thing, he seemed so disappointed in himself. We assured him that accidents happen and we will just have to keep working on it and try again another time. He sure does like his training pants though. They have trucks on them! It is so hard to find boys underwear that do NOT have characters on them (Like elmo or spiderman). I am not a character person, but we will see what we find. I did find some really cute ones at Gymboree that I will probably end up getting. We'll see. If anyone has any suggestions on where I can find some NON-character underwear for little boys, let me know!

Im pretty excited because I think we are going to go and pick up our new washer and dryer tonight! It has been sitting at the store for over 2 months and I am SO happy to finally be able to use it. Hopefully if buyers see that a washer and dryer actually fit they will be more interested in it too.

I have a work meeting tonight that I am looking forward to. I am making puff carmel corn to bring with, yummy! Another co-worker is bringing cinnamin cheesecake bars, yum! I love work events, even if it is just an hour meeting. It is a chance to get out and chit-chat! Plus I really like the people I work with. Wish we could socialize more often in person and not just on IM.

Have a great day!

Gavin Counting

As of last week Gavin can successfully count to 15!! Here is a little video of him counting. I tried to have him go to 15, but he was more interested in what I was doing with the Camera :)

We had a good weekend. Saturday we had a work picnic for my work. It was pretty fun. We got there around 2:30pm and Gavin lasted until 6:30pm. It was GREAT! We got to socialize quite a bit and played volleyball and just had a good time. I am excited for our October event!! We talked about it some last night and I have a feeling it should be pretty fun! Gavin also got to play with Jack for a little bit yesturday. They sure are cute.By the way.... HAPPY GRANDPARENT'S DAY! I hope all of you who are Grandparent's had a wonderful day :) We went to Dad and Mom VV's house today and spent the afternoon with them! We played Wii, it was pretty fun, and FUNNY.
Gotta Run, Have a good night!

Brewer Game

David, Gavin and I went to the Brewer Game last night. It was alot of fun. Gavin enjoyed himself and he lasted A LOT longer than David and I expected him to. We changed seats a couple of times because Gavin didn't like anyone sitting in front of him. But all and all, we had a really good time! Gavin is OBSESSED with Bernie (the mascot). Whenever Bernie would leave his dugout he would say, "Bernie, where are you?" It was pretty cute. He basically had his eye on Bernie the whole time! He also liked running up and down the ramps. Good thing it wasn't too busy there last night. Here are a few pictures and videos of the evening.

(Sorry I couldn't flip it)

We have a busy day ahead of us, we are going to meet up with Jessie this afternoon for lunch and shopping! Gavin misses Jessie, he has been going around saying her name for the past week. David and I miss her too, of course! Then we have to run to the grocery store.

Tomorrow I have a work Picnic, so that should be fun. I always look forward to those! Gavin will get to play with Jack and the other kids, and we will get to socialize, hopefully!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

I Love Fall

I can't believe how fast summer flew by! I am thrilled that Fall is basically here though. It is my favorite season. I was thinking yesturday of all the things we are going to do with Gavin this Fall. Our anual Apple and Pumpkin picking, along with a few road trips to enjoy the Fall ride. Every year that Gavin gets bigger means the more fun we can have with him and the more he will enjoy doing things! I can't wait! I haven't decided what he will be yet for Halloween, but we are excited that it is on a Friday! His second Halloween should be alot of fun and I'm sure he will enjoy it alot more than last year. He sure was a cute Giraffe last year!

Our past Labor Day weekend was very nice. Very relaxing too. Friday we got alot done around the house, which was a great feeling. Saturday we went to Mom and Dad VV's for awhile, then took a Sam's trip. Sunday we went to Taste of Madison, it was so hot out that we kinda ran through it and got out of there quick! After that we really didn't have anything going on so we decided to take a ride up north and visit my parents for the evening. It was very nice and they were quite suprised to see the three of us! Sunday we went to Mom and Dad VV's for Labor Day, it was very relaxing and Gavin enjoyed swimming and running through the sprinkler! Other than that, we really didn't do much this weekend. It was a nice end to Summer though.

We are learning a new song and trying to teach it to Gavin. It's really cute. It goes ;

I'm not perfect, no I'm not.

I'm not perfect, But I've got what I've got.

I do my very best, I do my very best,

I do my very best each day.

But I'm not perfect and I hope you love me that way.

He trys so hards to sing it, it's cute. He dances and sings; "I'm perfect." Hehe, its pretty funny.

It is extremely warm out today. I will be happy tomorrow when it drops down to the 70's and we can go outside again. Gavin played outside for a little bit this afternoon and I could tell he wasn't enjoying it! So for now the air is on and we are staying indoors.

I hope you all have a good week.

I don't really have any recent pictures but when I do, I will post some.
