Rainy Day

Rain Rain Go Away!!

We had a very nice weekend. Friday we got invited over to our new neighbors house for a bonfire. It was very nice to chit chat with them and get to know everyone a little bit more. Saturday Mom and Dad VV came over with two truck loads of mulch for the 'jungle' (our 'woods' in the back yard that Gavin calls 'the jungle'.) Saturday night we layed around and watched wipeout! Ah... if you have not seen this show you need to, so funny!
Sunday we had Mom and Dad VV, Chris, Kristin and the kids over for dinner! The weather was nice and we sat outside while the kids played very nicely! Here are a few pictures of the kids at dinner and Gavin and Nolan

Tonight we are having Jessie, Krista, and Sarah over for dinner. I haven't see Krista or Sarah in about a year, so it will be very nice to see them and catch up! And...this will probably be the last time we see Jess before she leaves for Dublin! We are going to miss her very much!

I also have all of Gavin's 2 1/2 pictures ready to post so I will probably get to that tomorrow :) Have a wonderful rainy day!

Our Thursday

Tease

On Friday Gavin had his 2 ½ year old pictures taken. They turned out very nice! They are not our usual picture setting, but we love it like that! My good friend, Shawna, is starting her own photography business and took these pictures of Gavin. They are very candid, and exactly what we were looking for! She followed Gavin around the park for about an hour and got some superb pictures! Not all of the pictures are ready yet, but I will sneak and show you one of my favorites; This may be teasing, but you will just have to wait and see the rest of them later!

A great Thursday evening!

We had a great night tonight! After dinner David and Gavin went outside and played baseball until Gavin's bedtime. This is exactly the kind of stuff David has been waiting to do with Gavin ever since he has been born and now they can do it much more freely! They had so much fun! Needless to say...we are LOVING our new home more and more each day!

Rainy Day

It is a rainy day today and I love it! This means we don't have to water the grass or the garden tonight! That's right...David and I put our garden in last Saturday! We planted Tomatoes (Better Boy and Beef Steak), Cherry tomatoes, Banana peppers, cucumbers, spaghetti squash, watermelon and cantaloupe. Hopefully we will have success in everything we planted this year, but you never know. This is the first time we will have a garden and you learn as you go through trial and error so we are crossing our fingers that we have success! The grass is slowly starting to come up, which is a huge shocker to me! I hopestly didn't even think we would have to mow our lawn this year, looks like I am way wrong!

Yesterday at work David made me some shelves for the pantry (a.k.a - coat closet). Right next to the kitchen there was this akward coat closet that we turned into a pantry. It definitely works out better for us as a pantry rather then a coat closet!
