October and November pictures

Sorry it has been so long since my last posting. Gavin has loved Halloween and Thanksgiving.

September and first of October pictures

Misc pictures from the past month

Gavin was trying on my hat and walking around our house...couldn't resist such a cute face for a picture.


We were in Farmington while my grandmother was in town. Megan had to bring her bike and Gavin was excited to give it a try. He even knew that he should put his feet on atleast one peddle.


Water Water...that is what this boy is all about. He loves to help in our garden, especially when it becomes watering time. How do you like that mud mustache?


He also loves to drink from the water hose or in this case, the sprinker head.


He loves to climb into things...and I mean everything!

I can walk

This actually from the last week of July but is one of the only video that we have of him walking. He is such a pro now!

Birthday #1 and my cake

Birthday #1

It only took Gavin a few minutes to realize that it

was okay to smash his hand in his cake.

One of the fun toys that Gavin received for his birthday.

He got so much that he was not quite sure where to start playing.

Bear Loves!

Gavin's morning kiss for his bear.

My first car!

Gavin loves this new little toy. It has a key crank that lights up and makes a car noise. We find him cranking it before he gets on to ride. He consistently plays on or with this little car....hummm...is he a little boy? The only problem is that he pushes it up to reach things he wants and then stands on it.

East Texas

We drove back with Ash's family to East Texas to spend a day with my parents. We went to the zoo and Gavin rode on Pappa's 4wheeler.

Gavin loved petting the goats at the zoo. He loved pulling their ears but the goats were quite so fond.

Dad drove Gavin 'round and 'round the yard. When they would stop, Gavin would move back and forth trying to get it started.

More of Destin

Sand was consistently stuck to every part of Gavin's body.

Andi, Ash's niece, thought it would be fun to fix Ash and Shilo's hair.

Watch out for those drag queens!

Destin, Florida

We met Ash's family in Destin for a week on the beach. Gavin loved the sand and quickly adjusted to playing on the water's edge. He was filthy constantly. He loved the attention he consistently received. Thought we would share a few pictures.

Gavin was QUICK to steal that piece of pizza off my plate.

Family Photo - after swimming

Gavin playing with his truck in the sand. He loved making truck noises as he pushed it through the sand.

Our newest versions of Davy Crockett

My parents have this cute Davy Crockett outfit that they wanted pictures of each of the boys wearing, so we went to the Riverwoods and were able to capture some really cute ones. Gavin was most interested in getting in the water while Maddox really was not feeling up to the photo shoot.

The Mc Girl Reunion

Last weekend, all my sisters were able to come and play. It was so fun to be together! The little boys had fun playing, as well as the big boys. It was quite interesting that the girls got a NIGHT out and the boys got a DAY out. Nevertheless, we had a blast.


As Jenn says, "Boys and their toys". As we left for girls night out, the little boys were corralled in Ash's truck. Nothing like cute little diaper booties!

We splurged while shopping and then we really splurged as we ate Cold Stone. YUMMY!

Candy and the Compressor

CANDY! Who gave me candy?! Gavin loved the red vine that I gave him. The sugar was awesome since this was his first treat of big people candy. Sadly...he looks like the joker from one of the Batman movies...but he was in heaven.

Gavin loved the sound of the compressor. As soon as it turned on, he peeked around the corner and crawled to see what the "boy" noise was all about.

Scofield Reservoir

Watch out ... he can barely see over the wheel! We are in big trouble....he is already trying to drive. Gavin loves to play with all the knobs and misc. other items that can be touched and pushed on the dash of the car.

We went to Scofield Reservoir with our friends Clark, Emily and Kendal Weight. It was so cold but Gavin seemed to enjoy the outdoors. He was absolutely filthy after walking along the muddy shore.

Starting up the Blog

Here we go! Since we live so far from most of our family, I thought it would be fun to try a blog. My friend Lillian has such a cute page so this could be a really fun way to allow everyone to keep up on how big Gavin is getting. I'll post some pictures soon.
