August 2010

During August we went to the beach in North Carolina with Grandma and Grandpa Mullins. Gavin warmed up to the sand and ocean faster this year than last.
We went miniature golfing while in NC. Gavin had to have his own ball and club.

We found this ugly doll for Gavin while shopping in NC. He loves sleeping with it.

The family Christmas card picture was taken at the end of our beach trip.
Some of our friends had extra tickets to Kings Island, so they invited us to go. Gavin loved all the rides.
I think this lady bug one was his favorite.
I love his face here.

Gavin loves trains and he loved the train ride.
Gavin and Pierce had fun riding the various "kid only" rides.
I think the best part of the day were the Icees!
Oh, and meeting Snoopy!

June/July 2010

Just some fun pictures taken this past summer. The first few are from when we still lived in our apartment.
Gavin loves playing with the laundry basket. He uses it as a step stool a lot so that he can turn the lights on and off or so he can climb up on our bed.
Gavin loves to drive his cars along a flat surface. We often would come into our room to go to bed and find this kind of line up.
Totter's Otterville
Ben had an assignment from work that involved us buying and using various food items to make fun things to eat.
Can you see what he is holding in his right hand. Yep, that is Lightning McQueen. He loves that guy.
He also loves Buzz and Woody.
An awesome yard sale find. 
Gavin loves any kind of hat.
Watching fireworks during 4th of July weekend.
Gavin and I took a long road trip with Oma and Opa this summer. We went from Gilbert, Arizona to Rexburg, Idaho for Melissa's graduation to Salt Lake City, Utah so we could pick up Ben from the airport to McCall, Idaho for a family reunion. 
He was a little tired after all the graduation events.
We waited in the foyer during convocation and taking pictures was the only thing that entertained him.
Melissa, the graduate
Olivia at the family reunion.
This was the kids favorite place to play.
The reunion including my mom's side of the family. These are some of the cousins hanging out on the dock.
Natalie and Dustyn in the canoe. Natalie was a little nervous.
Gavin loved riding with Ben in the kayak.
Gavin fell asleep while riding with Ben in the kayak. He was just worn out from all the fun.

We Bought A House

So, as many of you have noticed, I have fallen off the blog wagon. I am trying to get back on, but it is taking time. We had a busy summer involving looking for and buying a home, two long vacations and a move. Then our fall had a few busy moments, ie unpacking, going to Yo Gabba Gabba Live, Halloween, Thanksgiving and then Christmas. So, here is a post to get me started off right in the new year. 

Here are some photos of our new home--they are from the listing.

The kitchen

Gavin's room

The master bedroom

The fish pond

The garage and off-street parking! This was a major bonus.

This is a video we received when we first looked at the house. I cut it down a bit, but it is still long and super cheesy.
