Gavin's first cereal

We decided to try Gavin on cereal because he has been taking bottles like crazy lately. He can't seen to get enough food. He thought that this was pretty tasty.
He did really well at not getting very dirty. Daddy thought that this was the perfect chance to get a picture.

Easter Fun

Gavin was so cute watching Tanner run around the family room. The Easter Bunny brought him a very soft duck and a cute shirt that says "Milk Man"....We love our little old man!




Easter morning was so much fun with a three year old. Tanner was great at finding the eggs. Apparently the Easter Bunny thought that he should make it really easy. Well after 4 minutes all 25 eggs were found. (Make it harder next year Mr. Bunny!)

What A Wonderful Day!

We had the opportunity to go to a friends house and have an Easter Egg Hunt and BBQ. It was such a beautiful day with the temp around 75 degrees that I had to put both boys in shorts. Gavin looked so cute! I have included a few pictures of Tanner having a blast looking for eggs. He has been so excited for Easter this year and it has been so much fun to listen to him talk about it. I have been hit with this wonderful feeling of being a mother and watching Tanner's face light up with talk of first Christmas and now Easter. It is an amazing feeling. I have also posted a few pics of Tanner and Gavin in their very cute almost matching outfits. I love my boys!

Funny but true!

13-You find 10 degrees "a little chilly"
14-You actually understand these jokes.

Cute pictures

We had pretty bad weather today so we were stuck in the house. Tanner was making Gavin laugh so I decided to take a few pictures. Gavin has the cutest smile in the world. And Tanner just had to have his picture taken.

When you live in South Carolina it is always fun to go to Utah and see the snow on the mountains. Tanner thought it was facinating.
Tanner had the Flu on the day Heather got married. He was soooooo ornery!!!!
Tanner playing in the little bus at the Provo Mall. He thought it was wonderful!
Gavin at the airport waiting to go to Utah. He was
a little cranky.


So we are back from our little outing to Utah. I am very happy to be home. Traveling with 2 little kids alone is very hard work. Everything that could go wrong basically did. From almost crashing while landing in Atlanta to the rental car company screwing up my reservation in Vegas, Tanner got the Flu, Gavin didn't sleep because it wasn't home, I got a head cold which turned into a chest cold which has now caused me to loose my voice. Tanner threw up in the rental car 3 times and then threw up twice on the way home. Once in the airplane and once at the airport.
We will chalk this vacation up to experience and never try it again.
I do have to say that my sister's wedding was beautiful and everything went smoothly there. Except of course Tanner screaming through all the pictures.

Leaving for Utah

Tomorrow morning Tanner, Gavin and mommy are going to Utah. Natalie's sister is getting married on Saturday and Tanner is so excited to go see "Uncle Pete". Heather is getting married to Carson but for some odd reason Tanner calls him Pete. We are not to sure where it came from but he is adamant that his name is Pete. Gavin is going to be flying for the first time and also meeting all of Natalie's family. Nobody has seen him in person yet. Very exciting.
So please wish me (Nat) luck as I fly across the country with 2 young children alone. I am a little nervous. I will post pictures when I return. Love you all!
