<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This summer marked the beginning of our kids finally enjoying their time together! They will finally go off and play together for a bit and it is so wonderful! It doesn't last long, maybe a half an hour if we're lucky, but progress is progress! Oh how we love these two! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was the first swim of the summer. They absolutely loved the pool this year!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I knew the days we'd be in St. George I called the office and made them agree to take the carpet out of our kitchen and put in linoleum. I'd been asking for months and this time I didn't let them rest until they said yes. We have been so happy with it! It makes a huge difference!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a really good, busy summer and it all started with a fabulous trip to St. George! We love it there so much. The trip down was smooth, we had only one unscheduled stop - by a cop. No ticket thank goodness, but it always makes me so anxious when I get pulled over. We spent the whole time swimming, playing games, watching movies, eating delicious food and going on four wheeler rides. It was awesome! One morning we got to run our own planned out 5K, it was the first time Blair and I got to run together and I loved it. We can't wait to run some more 5K's next summer! We enjoyed every minute of this trip!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The kids were perfect on the drive down, we couldn't believe it!</span></div>

Gavin decided on bowling for his birthday this year and it turned out to be such a fun party! We found a bowling alley that had $1 games and $1 shoe rental - wow! Gavin asked for his "friends and cousins to go bowling" and I think he had a blast!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His smiles were either the biggest cheese ever or... a little creepy. Good thing he is adorable!</div>

After bowling we went to lunch - Gavin chose Arby's :-) It was such a fun afternoon! When we got home both kids were immediately asleep. After naps we got ready to continue the celebration with Grandmas and Grandpas, Aunt Joy and Uncle Kyle. Of course presents came first! He got a new Lego set, bath markers, a new ball, some $$, and his most favorite present...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A clock for his room!</div>

Talk about a happy, lucky boy! He was so excited! After we opened it we asked him if he was ready for cake. His reply? "Umm..no. I think I'll just watch my clock." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We did convince him that cake is a good thing and he got to blow out his candles. He did great! It was such a fun day! We can't believe our sweetest boy is 4 years old. How does it happen??</div>

Gavin amazes us daily. He is reading like a champ. If he has time he looks at and sounds out every sign we pass. If there isn't time then he'll spell out the words to ask us what they say. He soaks up every bit of information we give him. He absolutely loves to learn. About anything. Gavin's new obsession has been numbers. He loves to know what time it is and how many days or minutes it is until a certain activity or time. He has to know and he will count down until it comes. A while ago he asked how many days it was until my birthday. I figured it out and told him it was 106 days. He kept track and told me every day for a week how many days until my birthday! When he got to 99 we decided it was time to count down to something that was closer :-) His fascination with clocks is something we can't really explain. He was sitting on the floor in the kitchen tracking the time between the oven and the microwave. "Mommy it's 12:01 12:01 12:01 and now it's 12:02 12:02 12:02!" I asked him if he'd like to watch a show while a took a shower and he said no. When I finished the first thing I heard is "12:31 12:31 12:31." Haha! Oh this boy. He also is loving his calculator right now and will often fall asleep with it. I've tried to get pictures but I swear, he senses it and the moment is gone! He will punch whatever time it is into his calculator and keep track that way. It is... simply hard to explain. But we love it. We love him and we love that he loves this! It honestly will entertain him for hours! His mind is amazing. He loves to play with his bath letters and numbers and he does it all the time. I came in and found this the other day -</div>

He always finds a way to make any number and he does the same thing with words. He'll substitute the 5 for an S or the 3 for the E. He always makes it work. He has gotten really mischievous with his bath markers. We've told him several times that they're only for bath time. The other night (when he's supposed to be sleeping) he sneaks into the bathroom and an hour later this is what we found -</div>

I guess the temptation to use those markers it waaay to strong! And it's even hard to be upset with him. His disobedience is so educational! </div>

Gavin has been talking about becoming a basketball player when he's 4 for months and now that he's 4, he really does love it! And he's actually pretty good! He will stay outside and shoot hoops with anyone for as long as we let him. He's also loving Hot Shot basketball at Grandma and Grandpa Gibb's!</div>

He thought he was so sneaky. I called to see where he was and he tried to hide his laughter. So cute!<br />

Gavin is so helpful with our Lucy. He is always jumping up to do something for her before we even ask. He is always listening to hear if she's awake and will almost always go in to talk to her and play with her before we get her. We hear him go in and he almost always says "don't worry Lu, I'm coming!". He is the most amazing big brother. He loves his Lu! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin loves primary! He always has so much to tell us and he really loves singing time. He sings all the time now! He'll do the tune to several songs but always replaces the words with numbers. It is so cute. He looks forward to scriptures every night and he reads them so well. It is very rare that he misses a word! His prayers are so sweet. He prays for all of us, most especially Lucy. It is such a testimony to us to hear him pray. I truly believe that he can feel the spirit when he prays. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin will be starting preschool this year and it just pulls at my heart that he is going. He is growing so fast and we still can't believe that he isn't our sweet, chubby, bald baby boy anymore. He has become so much more independent. He can buckle his own car seat now which is wonderful! He puts his own shoes on and he can get dressed all by himself. It's awesome! We love our sweet boy so much. We're so grateful that he's ours!</div>

January 2015 - June 2015</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are so far behind!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hosanna: "Gavin do you have dimples??"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Squids don't have bones."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I am cute and handsome and mommy you're pretty and Lucy is pretty. Daddy is... a man."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I'm a monster and Lucy is a kitty cat and Mommy you're a giraffe!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: "What is daddy Gavin?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "A chicken!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blair pours just a little bit of cereal in Gavin's bowl - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Is that enough Gavin?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"No! Get 2,000!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Daddy, when I'm 29 like you are, I will touch the ceiling. Not in the kitchen though."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I love Lucy the most Daddy. Lucy, me and daddy made you some pasta, it's not even gross!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Don't throw me daddy, I am not a ball!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: "Gavin you are the cutest boy!"<br />
Gavin: "Mommy you are the cutest girl!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin comes up behind me with a tape measure - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Mommy you don't have to worry, I'm just measuring your bum. Wow! 41 inches!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Dear Heavenly Father, thank thee for this day. Please bless that we can have breakfast after we take a nap..."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: "Gavin, what would you like to do for your birthday?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "I could ride the train to the library, or maybe I can do that when I'm 5."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: "What present would you like for your birthday?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Well, I don't have a special clock for my room."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin woke up at 6:30. Blair told him it was too early and put him back in bed -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blair: "Thank you for going back to sleep Gavin."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "I promised myself I wanted to sleep until 8:37."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blair: "Oh you did?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Yes."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Her first birthday was so much fun! Lucy loves the water so we decided that swimming would be a great way to celebrate. On Saturday we took her to a very kid friendly indoor pool and both Gavin and Lucy were in heaven!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The month after she turned one was really awful. With the way the lighting is in our pictures of her you can't really tell that her face is covered in eczema, poor girl. It was all over her face and her body and nothing we tried was helping. On top of that, we found out in the beginning of March that she had a double ear infection and a burst ear drum. We started the antibiotics and her reaction was horrible, but the Dr assured us that it wasn't an allergic reaction. Whatever. She was beyond miserable for the 10 days she was on it. We ended up taking her to the InstaCare because for a full day she didn't eat a single thing and she was hardly drinking. That Dr ended up irrigating her ear canal and found that they were healing nicely and told us to keep giving her the antibiotic. We continued to and it ended up giving her a really bad yeast infection. Our poor sweet girl was just put through the ringer. When the 10 days were finally up, her poor bottom finally had a chance to heal and she did improve a little. But a couple of weeks later she had another double ear infection. It was so bad. They gave us a new antibiotic but this time we were better prepared. Her reaction wasn't even as bad as with the first one and we prevented an yeast infection before it started. After those 10 days I felt like she was truly better. We also finally got her eczema under control and she is now a much happier baby. She still scratches at her ears quite a bit and it makes them bleed. Not sure what to do about that yet but for now, we're just grateful she's not sick!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is sleeping through the night like a champ right now. It is amazing! She goes to sleep around 8 or a little before and sleeps until we wake her up at 9:45. She is so good! Her naps have become a little shorter but it's been ok. She wakes up around 2:30 in the afternoon and when Gavin hears her he takes a pile of toys and goes in to play with her. It is the sweetest thing! She adores her big brother, and when conditions are right, they play together so well! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lucy started walking about 2 weeks before her birthday and it is seriously the cutest thing ever. Our girl will not be left behind! Her eating is steadily getting worse and I think it's because of her being sick for so long. She will not try something new to save her life and every meal time is a struggle. I don't know how to get her back to loving to eat and it is so frustrating. Her favorite meal is pasta and she does really well with chicken and rice, but that's about it. It's just Gavin and his eating problems all over again - I guess we can't escape it. It is a good thing that she is so adorable! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lucy is a social butterfly! Her favorite word right now is "Hi!" and she says it to everyone whether they're paying attention or not. She loves attention from anyone and she absolutely knows when she's looking particularly cute! She walks around with her little belly leading the way, she is so happy! She loves shoes and dresses, necklaces, and bracelets. It is so fun! Her other words are mommy, daddy, was dat? oohs dat? (what's that and who's that), and uh-huh (a very enthusiastic yes)!. She makes lion sounds for lions and monkey sounds for every other animal. She loves to see birds, dogs and cats and makes her ooh-ooh noises for all of them. She can show us her nose and her ears. Lucy loves to bring us her teddy and bear and her doll and have us hug them. One of my most favorite things right now is how she acts when Blair calls. When she hears the phone ringing she immediately starts to say "hi daddy hi daddy!" but then goes silent when we actually answer. She always tries to give him a kiss through the phone and then waves goodbye at the end, it is so sweet! She loves her daddy so much! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lucy has such a sweet spirit and such a fun personality, but when she gets upset she will let you know. She throws things, she bites, she hits, and she scratches. We didn't really experience this with Gavin and I feel like we're at a loss at what to do. Nothing in the form of punishment has helped her stop (like time-outs). We still try though, maybe someday it will click that she's in trouble when she does these things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lucy loves to be teased! She thinks it is the funniest thing when start to give her something and then pull it away. It is so funny, but she's started to do it to other babies. She is so sweet to share in Church with the other babies her age. She'll get a piece of cracker and start to give it to them, then she pulls it away. I guess she's learning by example, haha! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lucy loves to be chased around the house and she has started to "run". It is so cute! Her little legs don't move her as fast as she would like, but she really tries! We love this baby girl so much, she makes us so happy! And now, here is an overload of pictures..</div>

It's a brand new year and we have so much to look forward too! 2014 was a really wonderful year for us and we have so much to be grateful for! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blair was so pleased with his final grades for last semester! His classes turned out to be a lot harder than he expected, but he did so well. I am so proud of him! He's looking forward to his new classes which started this last Monday. He still takes the train every day and it is so helpful! Blair has had a lot of opportunities to interview for new work. He's gotten a lot of positive feedback from each one, but unfortunately the jobs have gone to other people. He is very anxious to work somewhere else and to gain new experience, but he doesn't have a lot of time to offer to a new position right now. When he starts the Masters of Accounting program next winter he won't be able to work at all. It's made finding a new job really hard. He's been really grateful for the interview experience he's gained though and I feel like that's really important. We've got our fingers crossed for a job he interviewed for a few weeks ago, he's got a second interview set up in a few days. It would be a great opportunity and so we hope! Blair works so hard for us and we love him so much. We are so blessed to have him!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I continue on in my quest to figure out our little boy and our baby girl. Two kids has been eye opening for me and I have vowed never to pass judgment on any mother ever again! I feel so overwhelmed so much of the time. I love them both so much and I constantly find myself so grateful that I get to be home with them - that I get to watch them learn and grow. I love it, really. It's hard though. Sometimes I ache to be working again. With our situation being what it is I don't see a way that I could be at work without getting a babysitter. Both Blair and I have agreed that it isn't for us and so I am grateful that I feel grateful to be home with our kids. It is definitely an adventure and it is the hardest job I've ever had! When Blair has graduated and is working steadily I will probably look for work again, but until then I am trying desperately to just enjoy! Gavin and Lucy are amazing little people and they mean everything to us! How lucky am I that I get to be with them every single day??</div>

Gavin Michael is a tease! He is teasing and joking and kidding all day long and sometimes it's really funny! And sometimes it's a little hard to get through. It's amazing though to see how his mind works and to see the funny little things he'll come up with. We love him and we wouldn't change a thing! He'll be starting pre-school this year and right now that thought makes me tear up. He is growing so fast. He is reading and writing. He puts his shoes on by himself, he gets a snack by himself. He goes potty by himself and pulls his pants up by himself. He goes to primary by himself! He is becoming so independent! I do love that he's a sunbeam now!</div>

He really likes his teachers which is great. I am SO glad he didn't fight going into primary. His teachers said that he sat very quietly and just kind of, took in his surroundings. When he got home I asked him how it went and he said "It was good. We sang songs and went to TWO rooms and we did not get a snack!" </div>

We play probably 10 or more games of Sorry every day. He also loves Uno and if he gets tired of Sorry then it will surely be Uno that we play next! He still loves to read and color. He's starting to draw which is fun! I hope he'll love to draw and hopefully he'll be like Blair instead of me. My art skills are basically zero. He still loves to help us make smoothies every morning and he loves to help us bake! He loves his slide, his train, and as always his letters and numbers! He plays so well with kids his age and that is really comforting. He is such a good boy!</div>

Oh how we love him!</div>

Miss Lucy is the silliest goose! I finished quite a long update on her just today as a matter of fact :-) We love our sweet girl so much! She is eating well, she takes amazing naps (usually 3-4 hours) and goes to bed perfectly at 8:00 every night. She is sleeping through the night is better but still not great, we're working on it... She is a very happy girl! She loves her daddy! She is so excited when he comes home and just chants "da da da da da" until he comes to give her a hug and a kiss. I love it! She and Gavin play beautifully together sometimes, it gives me a lot of hope for the future! She definitely loves her big brother and wants to be where he is! Her hair is coming back in, thank goodness! We love to put bows and flowers in it - little girls are just so much fun! She crawls everywhere and pulls herself up on everything. She can now just stand up in the middle of the room without holding on to anything too. She's taken 6 steps! She is growing so fast! She has the most beautiful eyes and the sweetest smile. Her personality is coming out and we just love her more and more each day! She is a sweetheart!</div>

We have a lot to look forward to this year. This will be Blair's final two semesters before he starts the Masters program and we're very excited about that! We are hoping to take a trip somewhere, but that's as far as the planning for that has gone :-) This could very well be the last year that we get to have Blair home as much as do. I've been so spoiled! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We sure love our little family!</div>

We'll finish off 2014 by starting with Halloween.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin was so cute this year! He was Superman again and Lucy was a Ladybug. It was a lot of fun dressing them up! Gavin had a great time at the trunk-or-treat and that night we got together with friends for games, it was so fun! In the week or so before Halloween a few people asked him what he was going to dress up as and he had no idea what they were talking about. We've tried to explain but he wasn't really grasping it. In the week or so after Halloween when people would ask he would proudly shout "Superman!" I think he's got it for good now! Aren't they sweet?</div>

Blair had the weekend off after Thanksgiving and it was awesome. On Friday we took the kids on the train up to Temple Square to watch them turn on the lights. I've only been to see the lights one other time and it was freezing! This time the weather was seriously perfect! It was probably 60 degrees at least (very weird for November) and there was no wind or anything. It was so fun and the kids loved it! The pictures with the lights actually on did not turn out, but they were so beautiful!</div>

New Years Eve was awesome! That day we got to meet Blair's mom and his sister's family at Scheels. We all got to ride the ferris wheel and the kids got to go bowling, it was so fun! That night my parents let us put our kids to bed at their house so we could go to my brother's house for the evening. We had a fabulous, kid-free night. Wow! We had a delicious dinner and stayed up playing games until midnight. Then we got to bring the New Year in with a kiss! It was so fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And those are our holidays in one very long post! We have so much to be grateful for. We love our families so much and are so grateful for their never ending support. We look forward to a great new year!</div>

She is an armload! She is a great eater. She loves baby food - mostly green beans but she's pretty good with almost anything. She loves cheese, rice, potatoes, graham crackers, and apples. She also loves to share our smoothies in the morning! When she see's that we have one she'll crawl over and start smacking her lips, it is adorable! She is so stinkin' cute when she knows a bottle is coming. She watches intensely while it's being made and then flaps her arms until she gets a hold of it. She loves her binky and right now, we do too. It honestly brings her a lot of comfort. It will be quite the task when the time comes to take it away! Lucy is sleeping a little bit better. We've finally gotten serious about letting her cry it out when she wakes up during the night. And the only way we've gotten through it is to turn on her white noise machine and the fan in the bathroom, move our mattress into the living room and close the door. It's helped a lot I think. Her wanting a bottle in the middle of the night was becoming a habit rather than a need and we just couldn't handle it anymore. She still wakes up during the night but it's not quite the production it used to be, thank goodness! Lucy loves to clap. All we need to say is "Yay Lucy!" and she starts to clap, it is so cute! She loves to give kisses. She goes around from me to Blair to Gavin just giving kisses for as long we let her! She may not be very cuddly but she gives the sweetest kisses! She loves to be chased around the room and she absolutely loves peek a boo! Her favorite time to escape is right before bedtime - just before we put her jammies on. It's one of Gavin's favorite things too!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dytKy2lXqVDZX88T7WPrOgPamwTlmfStF-sjJ9oix_VnKc75KXWli6YRk4oURLv9vYiOeaFjhVrTCr4jqOM' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We love how much Lucy loves Gavin!

It is so very sweet. I was sitting with her in Relief Society (1:00pm church makes her miss her nap, poor thing!) and the lady next to me had on a velvet dress. Lucy loved the feel of it and after a couple of minutes she just laid down on her lap and snuggled in. Silly goose! Lucy is a lot feistier than Gavin ever was. She has the TIGHTEST grip. She won't let go of anything without putting up a fight!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPT5e-KfChUGmtdiwwkEPJ6Ts-IfEq8hBtQEepmMFbjFbd_dEzcwxH3WUIN0LdVr6cdIkH2NiupoPN_4pOXuboDUp28Lq9IgU-ypxMiSSrz-Mf4Q468J3Df4V3Enaw9BLVi3L2q1TtODuD/s1600/WP_20141024_012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPT5e-KfChUGmtdiwwkEPJ6Ts-IfEq8hBtQEepmMFbjFbd_dEzcwxH3WUIN0LdVr6cdIkH2NiupoPN_4pOXuboDUp28Lq9IgU-ypxMiSSrz-Mf4Q468J3Df4V3Enaw9BLVi3L2q1TtODuD/s1600/WP_20141024_012.jpg" height="400" width="223" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When you do manage to get something away from her she clouds right up and cries! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The last few months have been a lot of fun!

With any given possible chance, she will play in the toilet. Yuck. If the lid is closed (which we diligently strive for) she goes for the next best thing - toilet paper! We catch her playing with it a lot and she almost always speeds out of the bathroom when we do.

If he gets any cuter I don't think we'll be able to handle it. He has been the sweetest most thoughtful boy lately and I feel like I desperately need to document these moments. He is so happy, so silly, and so so so helpful! Everything we've asked him to do lately he just jumps up and does it. It is awesome! Gavin loves Lucy so much. He crawls all over and she follows right along. He loves having her in his room to play, they make each other laugh, they love each other! It has been so fun watching them these last couple of months.</div>

Gavin's need for independence continues to grow. He can now put his shoes on by himself which is awesome! He can open the fridge to get some water, juice, or a yogurt all by himself. Most things with him have seemed so gradual, but all of the sudden he is changing and growing. It is exciting, but also very strange. He is getting so big! We love his contagious laugh and smile. There is nothing better! </div>

He has become a little obsessed with his "magnifying doodle" as he calls it. He draws on it all the time, even while watching a show.</div>

Gavin loves to go places, he loves to see new things and meet new people, he loves being busy! He talks very matter-of-fact like. Gavin loves to tease and he loves to make up new words for us to spell. His latest one that he had Blair spell was "L U G A" (pronounced "loo-guh") and it means "when I find a spot to jump." He'll be jumping off the couch or off of our bed and tell us "I'm practicing my luga's!" So cute! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is changing so fast that sometimes it's hard to believe. So for right now, we are going to just simply enjoy our sweet, adorable little boy!</div>

Ever since our hike up to the lakes on our anniversary Blair and I have been aching to be in the mountains again! We found a few hikes that were kid friendly, packed up the kiddo's and off we went. We've done three this month and would love to do more as long as the weather is good. The first hike we did was to Donut Falls in Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was Gavin's first actual hike and he was in heaven! He could be as loud as he wanted, he could run up ahead of us, he could let his imagination go! It was so fun to watch! He tripped on some rocks probably three times and that dampened his spirit a little, but for the most part he just loved it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were really grateful to have the backpack for Lucy on this hike and she absolutely loved it! This picture on the left is one of my favorites because of how much Blair and Gavin look alike. They are such handsome men! I love Lucy's little head poking out too :-) Gavin is doing a little potty dance on the right. He ended up having to go outside for the first time ever and was so very proud "I got all the rocks wet daddy!" Such a proud father-son moment right there.</div>

The next hike we did was called Mill B South and it was up Big Cottonwood Canyon as well. This one was paved so it was great for the stroller - sooo nice! This one lead to two different little waterfalls that were so awesome. The whole way up was just beautiful!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had to keep stopping to take pictures because every place was more beautiful than the last. Gavin loved this little hike too.</div>

The last one we did doesn't really qualify as a hike. I guess the last one didn't either since it was also paved, but this one especially because it was so short. We went to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon to walk around the Temple Quarry Trail and it was fascinating! All along the trail are markers telling about how the pioneers mined the granite in order to build the temple and about the once booming town of Graniteville that doesn't exist anymore. It was awesome. Just so you know, the pictures don't do the rocks justice. They were so white! This used to be a river and once again, Gavin was in heaven!</div>

She started eating solids at 4 months. We had planned to wait until 6 months again but her sleeping was (and still kind of is) so dreadful. We feel like there was a little bit of improvement, but not much. She sure loves eating food though, especially oatmeal! She's doing great with baby food and is learning to feed herself. She loves rice, potatos, and cheerios. She grew out of the bumbo pretty quick - in these pictures she is 5 months on the left and 6 months on the right. She is so messy, so much more than Gavin ever was!</div>

Lucy hasn't <span style="text-align: center;">stopped moving since the very first kick from inside :-) She wasn't crawling at 5 months but she could basically get anywhere she wanted to go by rolling, scooting, and her own version of the army crawl. She loves the blinds and is magnetically drawn to cords. She will always go straight for a cord!</span></div>

7 months has been so much fun! Almost everytime she would smile it would turn into this big cheesy grin, it was so cute but so short lived. I'm glad we caught it! See the progression as she gets happier and happier...</div>

We love our sweet Lucy Lu. She is silly, smart, beautiful, and sweet. Her excitement for her morning bottle is so cute. She is becoming more talkative every day. Her little "words" are "ma ma ma ma" "da da da da da" and "ya ya ya ya ya." I don't believe she's actually saying mom and dad and if she's anything like Gavin, she won't until 18 months or so :-) Gavin loves to listen to her jabber and always laughs when she does. He is constantly trying to get her to say "Ga Ga Ga" for Gavin. She hasn't yet, but I'm sure she will soon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lucy adores Gavin. She follows him everywhere and will start to cry when he leaves the room (although lots of times he will turn off the light and close the door, that might be why she cries too). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lucy still isn't the greatest sleeper. We had one glorious week of her sleeping from 8pm to 9:30am. Sadly though she's back to waking up at least twice during the night. We're not sure exactly why, she almost never needs a bottle. She just starts to cry. It's frustrating and we hope she'll grow out of it soon. Her naps are great! She usually naps from about 12:30 to around 4 and will take a small little snooze again around 5. Bedtime is 8 and she does really well! Now if she would only sleep through the night..</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lucy will always let you know she's there. She's become a little more quiet in the last couple of months, (not all the time, sometimes she really loud) especially when compared to her first 4 months of life. But even when she is happily and quietly playing in her high chair, carseat, or just on the floor, she makes her little cooing noise. It is so cute. It's just a little "hmm hmm hmm" but you will know she's there. Gavin calls her a "pidgeon and a goat" and it makes us laugh because she really does sound like that! Her smiles are just a little bit reserved. If a stranger, or even me and Blair sometimes, try to get her to smile she will give a little grin and then proceed to bury her face in whatever is nearby. It's adorable but also a little sad because when you can catch it, she has the most adorable smile!</div>

If her smiles are reserved then her laughs are very rare. She'll give a polite little laugh more often, but her real, deep, adorable belly laugh only comes on rare occasions. Gavin can get them and Blair can too, but only at very specific times. I wish she would do it more because it is seriously infectious. We all start laughing when she does! This is back in July - Lucy was 5 months. Since then we haven't gotten a great video of her laugh but it is even cuter now!</div>

Lucy has had two teeth for 3 months now. They both came in at 4 1/2 to 5 months and we really expected she would have at least one more by now. Nope. She is adorable with her two little teeth and you get a clear shot of them when she smiles big -</div>

She doesn't care for bum changes and she outright dislikes getting her clothes changed! She has become quite the escape artist, she even takes the diaper with her -<br />

There are times when she is just too cute for words, and others when she very much needs a nap! Even her cry is cute, at least to us :-) Her whole face and body seem to cry when she cries, but they also smile when she smiles. She has beautiful blue eyes and very chubby thighs. She is learning to use her hands very well and it's fun to see her improve with that each day. She has had issues with stranger danger in the past and that has, thankfully, improved a lot in the last little while. When Lucy gets cranky and wants to be held she will plop herself at our feet, she will move when we move, and will fuss until she gets picked up. It works every time! Lucy has almost completely stopped falling asleep on us, and the times when she snuggles are few and far between. We cherish them because when she does decide to snuggle there is nothing better! Her favorite people are Gavin and Blair, she lights up every single time she see's them, always. Her favorite baby food, besides the plain oatmeal, is green beans. She is very much attached to her binky (sigh). She loves being in the car, thank goodness! She actually gets a little bit excited when she see's her carseat coming out, it is so cute! We love watching her interact with her cousins. She is the oldest of the four babies who came within three months of eachother, and when she is around them it's kind of like she forgets she's a baby. They're all babies, but all the sudden she is very grown up :-)</div>

I actually started and almost finished this post about two weeks ago and then our computer shut itself down and I lost it all. Sigh. The blogging mood hasn't come back until now and I must say, I'm glad it hasn't. Both our kids have changed so much in the last week it's really hard to believe. So here is the revised version of the post I lost two weeks ago. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Gavin is growing up so fast it's hard to even know where to begin. We love this boy so much! He will be 3 1/2 next month and he loves so many things! He loves to read. Gavin just decides to learn something new long before Blair and I are ready and there is nothing we can do but help him learn. He soaks it up like nothing we've ever seen! Every morning begins with breakfast for Gavin and a bottle for Lucy and immediately following that, it is time for books. Gavin picks out book after book to read to Lucy, I'm just there to hold them both. He shows her the pictures and talks about the different colors that we see. It is so sweet. Gavin is back to spending hours in the bathtub playing with and now building words with his alphabet. We hear him in there saying the sounds of the letters - "B A T BAT!! C A T CAT!!" Lately it's been - "B E S T BEST. Take away the B and put in a V spells VEST!!" It is pure excitement to him as he figures this out! We returned a movie to RedBox the other night and I sat in the car with the kids while Blair returned it. Gavin sounded out "R E D B O X" and then started to sound out DVD. He sounds out each letter then says - "Mom, what does DaaVVVVDaa mean?" He loves reading the scriptures with us each night. He reads the words he recognizes and sounds out the ones he doesn't know, it truly is awesome to hear him sound out a word until he understands. He is writing very well these days too. He came home from Nursery with this last Sunday, October 12th -</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We took this the next morning which is why he's in pajamas. He is so bright and he is so excited about learning, it's amazing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin loves the moon! He looks for it any night we're out driving and he watches it for as long as he can. It's always "Look there's da moon! Oh it went behind that building. Oh there it is again! Oh now it's behind the tree. Oh there it is again!" All the way home. If he is ever unreasonable, tired and crying, we can almost always calm him down by telling him a fact about the moon, the stars, or the sun. He really loves watching the airplanes come into land and especially loves seeing the helicoptors, he is fascinated with them. More than anything though he loves to see the trains! He hopes we get to see a train every single time we go anywhere and he keeps track of how many we see each time. It's so fun! Blair gets to ride Trax for free because he's in school so we try to take Gavin on it every now and then. A few weeks ago we got to take him to the Childrens Museum in Downtown SL and he had so much fun! He has become the most social boy and is always striking up conversation with whoever will make eye contact with him. The train is the perfect place because nobody moves :-) The morning we told him we were going he tried so hard to say the word museum but he just couldn't. Several times while we were getting ready to go he was trying - "Daddy? Are we going to the mazoum?" "Mommy? Where is the mazorum?" "Lucy, do you want to go to the mazooum?" It was too cute. When we got on the train he started talking to the woman sitting next to him -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "I'm on the train with my mommy and daddy!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Woman: "How fun! And where are you going on the train?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin pauses and sighs: "The zoo."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got a good chuckle out of that! He loved the museum and didn't pause for even a picture, this is the best we could get. Lucy loved it too!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin has become extremely thankful, as well as apologetic, lately. We are getting thank you's and sorry's all day long and it is so sweet, and it is so much! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blair: "Do you want cheese too? Or just crackers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Just crackers. But thank you Daddy for asking me if I want cheese."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Sorry I stepped on your foot mom! I stepped on your foot and hurt you but I am sorry I stepped on you foot. Sorry mom!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "I sorry I bonked you Lucy. I bonked your arm and I am sorry I bonked it! Sorry Lucy!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Thank you mommy I mean Daddy for getting me a yogurt with a green spoon! Thank you Mommy I mean Daddy!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Who got me dinner? Mommy or Daddy?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: "Daddy got you dinner."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Thank you Daddy for getting me dinner! Who made me dinner? Mommy or Daddy?"<br />Me: "I made dinner tonight Gavin."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Thank you for making me dinner Mommy. It is so tasty and thank you!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How sweet and polite is he? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin loves to do everything Lucy, me, and most especially Blair do. Really.</div>

Gavin loves being outside. This is the first summer that he has actually been adventurous on the playground. He goes down the big twisty slide all by himself and he is so proud! He climbs up all the ladders now instead of just one and he is constantly trying to climb up the slide like the big kids. He has so much fun and is even more comfortable when others are playing too. Last summer he would have a meltdown if even one other kid came to play. There has been some major improvement this year! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin has become a selective obeyer. It's really frustrating sometimes and other times it is really funny. He is of the opinion that he'll be able to do everything we ask someday, but not today. His excuse for almost everything is - "I can't hold Lucy mom but when I am four I can." "I can't be quiet mom but when I am older I can. Maybe when I'm four!" And you can't imagine how matter of fact he is when he talks. There is no question in his mind that he is unable to do these things until he's four. He has a long list of things to do next year! Even with all his excuses he is actually very obedient and he is very anxious to help. He loves putting his dishes in the sink, throwing away any trash, findind Lucy headbands and onesies, getting us a tissue, helping us bake, and helping bring in the groceries and the mail. It's really wonderful! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin has suddenly become Mr. Independent. Like, as of three days ago. All the sudden he wants to brush his own teeth, get his own snacks, pull up his own pants after going potty (that has been Awesome!), buckle his own carseat and lots of other things. As nice as it is that he's doing so much more for himself these days, it's also a little bit sad for me, I feel like he's growing so fast. Of course when bedtime comes around we get to see once again how very little he is. We put Gavin to bed and after an hour or so of him coming out needing to go potty he'll finally lay down and will do one of two things. He will either fall alseep, or more likely he'll start to cry which, seriously, doesn't even affect us any more. We let him go for a while the other night and when Blair finally went to check on him -</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blair: "Gavin what's wrong?"</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin (imagine the whiniest voice EVER): I don't want to sleep on my back!"</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh my goodness. Turn over! As silly and sometimes annoying as this can be, I'm glad he does it. We need to work on laughing about (maybe not quite enjoying) this stage because he is so young and I love that he needs us.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin and Lucy are getting along beautifully these days and we love it so much. Lucy has been crawling for more than a month now and she follows Gavin everywhere! We know that he loves it because now he's calling to her to follow him. The other day it was - "Lucy! Let's play in my room! It's so fun! My toys are cleaned so you can play with the floor!" It is so sweet. We are still working on the concept of sharing but he's doing better :-) We are so grateful that Gavin has Lucy now. He struggled so much in the beginning but he loves her so much. He laughs and laughs when she starts to babble and he just glows when she smiles or laughs at him. </div>

We can't let them really take a bath yet, Lucy is still too wobbly. We just tried for a minute to see how it would go, they loved it!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin is learning to play Uno right now and he is a little bit obsessed, he asks us many many times a day if we can play "Uno's", he's still getting the hang of it but he loves it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin is still climbing into bed with me in the morning and it is so sweet. He watches the clock and gives me a minute by minute play until the time comes that we can go eat breakfast, it's very restful... He always, always knows the minute Lucy wakes up. He hears her before either of us every day and will immediately tell us - "Oh mommy, Lucy's awake! She needs a bum change and a bottle!" I guess it's a big brother intuition. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We love the way his mind works. It is fascinating watching him write his letters because he does it so differently. Every single one is opposite how we would write it. He loves watching us write the letters upside down or backwards. It is really cool! He is so bright and so sweet. Here are two more quotes from September/October.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blair, upon finding Gavin in the bathroom -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blair: "Gavin, you shouldn't brush your teeth when you're sitting on the toilet. If your toothbrush falls in we'll have to buy a new one."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin: "A new toilet?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found him in there dipping his toothbrush in the toilet and brushing it around the seat - gross.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Me: Gavin! No, that is so naughty. Now we have to throw this away and get a new one. Gavin you know better than that, I don't want you to do this ever again. This is so gross!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin: "What did I do? What did I do mommy?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is the silliest, sweetest, smartest boy. We never know what he's going to say or do and we love it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We found him taking his nap in Lucy's crib :-)</div>

August was a great month! We celebrated our 6th Anniversary and I can't tell you how fabulous it was. Blair's parents took the kids for the day and we went on a hike.We found a trail that lead to 3 lakes up Big Cottonwood Canyon. The drive up was beautiful, I don't think either of us had ever been up there. The trail head was at Brighton Ski Resort. After sunscreen and bug spray had been applied we began the hike up. And boy was it up. The first at least 1/2 a mile is straight up a ski slope. It was slow going and a little rough but it was soooo worth it. The first lake we came to was Lake Mary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is from 2 view points. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This lake was incredible. The the cliffs were sheer going straight into the beautiful water. We brought a picnic along and had planned to eat here but some irritating people on the other side of the lake were blasting their music. What a way to ruin nature. We saw a ranger as we were leaving who told us the next lake was right around the corner, but to be sure to get all the way to the third. So off we went. Lake Martha was next and compared to Lake Mary it was a little disappointing. It was still very pretty though and although it was the saddest of the 3 lakes, we did see two moose! It was so cool. Even though they're small in this picture you can see them! We took this from the trail and I like it because it also shows a little of the lake and the surrounding area. The meadows and the wildflowers were so so so beautiful and they were everywhere for the entire hike!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We then continued on to Lake Katherine. There are no words to describe this lake and there are no pictures that do it justice. It was simply breathtaking. The water was clear, the air was clean, and it was so completely silent. We were in awe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had our picnic there and spent quite a bit of time just sitting and looking. The whole area was surrounded by wildflowers and greenery. I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful place! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hiked around up there for a little while and came up on a place that gave us a really good view of the 2 lower lakes. This made the second lake seem so much more pretty!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Nature is so healing for body and mind and it was wonderful to be out in it again. It was an incredible hike! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got to go to dinner afterwards at Tepanyaki, sooo delicious! And then we headed back to pick up our babies. It was a beautiful day! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up was my birthday. I can't believe I'm 25. I feel so old. Blair made us my favorite dinner, chicken bacon and swiss sandwiches - yum! Then we had a cookies and cream ice cream cake for dessert - yum yum! My gift this year was a massage. A professional massage. I hadn't had one in so long, it was such a perfect gift and such a great massage! And to top it off he let me win a game of Ticket to Ride :-) It was such a good day! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rest of August was pretty chill. We did get to go to St. George over Labor Day weekend with my family and that was a blast! We had to get a new battery for my car on the drive down which was stressful. Blair dropped me and the kids off at Arby's while he made his way down to get a battery. It was quite an evening but eventually we made it safely to the house. Thank goodness! The weekend was full of swimming, games, shopping and movies. It was so fun! We also got to spend a little time at the St. George Temple. It was built by the pioneers and it is magnificent. I love it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We left Sunday morning and that evening, as well as Monday afternoon, we got to spend with Blair's extended family on his dad's side. Blair's aunts and uncle are some of my favorite people! They are all so sweet and so full of life. They all got to meet Lucy and got to know Gavin a little better which we loved. It was great!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our summer was awesome and it's still a little strange that it's over. Blair is back in school and our kids are growing much to quickly. It is time for another update so we'll do that soon!</div>

I was so looking forward to spending some time with just the two of us, going shooting and then out to dinner. It was a lot of fun! But in the course of the evening we heard the news of his Grandpa O'Banion's passing. I cannot even tell you how much I adore Blair's grandparents. They are the sweetest couple. Grandpa, from day one, reminded me so much of my dad. It was so very, very hard to know that he had gone. Blair has so many wonderful memories of him, he taught him so many things.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFGVLADcOigwBawu_mUVqQUWX95X7YJzLgUqltrMz6zxC8dqHogK0n7fp0nlvJ1GKFYMSHBkW8UfSEy8LRfcOfKn7mYWJ_XY1gWxGW3zEtJ7Qy-nTKduwzRgKkz3trhJalVtYRO0FKobC-/s1600/Grandpa+with+Blair,+July+1989.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFGVLADcOigwBawu_mUVqQUWX95X7YJzLgUqltrMz6zxC8dqHogK0n7fp0nlvJ1GKFYMSHBkW8UfSEy8LRfcOfKn7mYWJ_XY1gWxGW3zEtJ7Qy-nTKduwzRgKkz3trhJalVtYRO0FKobC-/s1600/Grandpa+with+Blair,+July+1989.jpg" height="400" width="305" /></a></div><br />

Mine are few, but very special to me. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The first time I met him was during the snowmobiling trip in 2008. I had such a bad cold and decided to just lie down. Grandpa came over to ask how I was doing and to see if I would be interested in some "medicine stuff" and I said I would be, and he went to search. He came back and said </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Now, you have many options. This here is a more...natural approach that Sarah had called Eccanoosha - Eccaniarsha - some foreign word. This other one, has a side effect that'll make ya sleepy. But I believe this one, is the one for you." </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He got me a glass of water and made sure I took it, told me to "lie down darlin and for heaven sakes get better! How can you enjoy a trip if you're sick??"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He was so genuinely concerned and interested in me, he made me feel so welcome. I loved that he called snowmobiles "snow machines" and I love the way he said garbage can "gar-bah-sh can." He rocked at Catch Phrase! He loved his great-grandkids. I am so, so sad that he never met our Lucy.

We decided to rent a car seeing as how ours probably wouldn't have made it to Ogden :-) I'm so glad we did, it made the trip so much more comfortable for us and the kids especially. We left at 4:30 am Friday morning and were really really hoping that the kids would go back to sleep, but they didn't. After 5 stops, an 8 hour trip turned into an 11 and a half hour trip..It was such a relief to finally get there and it was so so wonderful to see the whole family gathered together. The funeral was Saturday and it was an incredible tribute to Grandpa. He was so loved and the spirit there was so strong. Blair had the opportunity to say the dedicatory prayer over the grave sight. It was a very spiritual experience for him and he did an amazing job. We are so grateful that he was asked to do that for Grandpa, it was an honor. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After the funeral and afternoon naps, Michelle and Bruce had everyone over for a BBQ. It was delicious and it was a great way to get to know relatives that we hadn't met before. We left about 9:30 and drove through the night to get home and it was a much more successful trip. I am so glad we could go.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Gavin loved this little wooden bike Grandpa made. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Grandma O'Banion with both kiddo's.

Here are just a few from July and beginning of August:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Driving down to Pleasant Grove passing a Budget moving van:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Mom, what spells B U D - oh never mind. It goed away."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Mom, I am growing up."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: "I know Gavin, I can't believe you are 3!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "I can believe it. When I get taller and older I will go potty standing up!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: "Gavin, do you think you'll like the splash pad at the park?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "No. In 10 months I will be 4 and in 11 years I will be 14. Then I will like the splash pad."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"When I done drinking my milk, Lucy will be purple."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: "Huh?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blair: "Gavin will you go check on Lucy to see if she's awake?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Of course I will! (shouting) Lucy?? Are you awake??"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Us: Sigh....</div>

Our summer began with not the greatest of activities because we decided that it was time to really potty train this boy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The stress was almost too much to handle. Don't get me wrong, he actually did amazing, really. We decided that we would forego the pull ups and just make him learn with big boy underwear from day one and I'm really glad we did. But this made the nighttime stress almost through the roof for me. It was a full 2 weeks of us following him around constantly saying "Be sure and tell us when you need to go potty!" over and over and over again. And over again. It was us jumping at any sound he made at night and rushing him to the bathroom. It was stressful. I think he learned quickly because he was so completely sick of us! Anyway, the first week he had a few accidents, some of them were really gross (insert stressful sigh here). The second week, however, he was basically perfect. He's had to learn not to leak into his undies, but that's as much of an accident that he's had in 2 months. And he's had only 1 accident at night during the entire time. He's awesome and we are so proud! He's lived in underwear and sometimes a shirt since the day we started, and its pretty darn cute. He is so proud to be wearing "big boy undahwayah" and we are beyond relieved that he's done!</div>

I was so afraid that choosing to potty train him on pretty much the first day of summer would make it a miserable 3 months. He just did so amazing though and we've been able to go and do a lot of fun things! In June we took him to the Strawberry Days carnival and we were shocked that he had as much fun as he did. He LOVED the little train, the ferris wheel, and the carousel, he was so brave!</div>

Liberty Park was awesome! Gavin had a blast! It's a huge park, but this part is a miniature recreation of all the Wasatch front rivers and waterfalls, either ankle or knee deep. Gavin did not stop the whole time we were here. </div>

The time we've been able to spend together has been awesome. Gavin is in a hard stage right now, but as hard as 3 has been, we LOVE that he's enjoying things! We love taking him places that we know he'll have fun, it is the best. And Lucy is just a perfect little sweetheart along for the ride. Our summer so far has been great! More updates to come.</div>

Where in the world does the time go? It's so hard to believe that it's been 4 months since we brought our beautiful baby girl home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
She is the sweetest! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucy is learning and growing everyday. She loves to use her hands and grab at anything within her reach. She will smile at everyone and anyone that will catch her eye, but she will not laugh. Her laughs are so reserved and they come so sporadically, but when we get them are the cutest thing ever! She has the cutest sad face and the saddest cry you've ever heard. How do we know when she's really mad? She stops crying and starts to spit. She is the silliest goose. She adores Gavin. She watches him all day long and will almost always laugh for him. She gets so excited to see him that she can hardly contain it - she'll launch herself backwards and her little arms and legs will flail, it is so stinkin cute. Love that they love each other!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her sleeping has really improved by leaps and bounds. About 3 weeks ago she was sleeping from midnight to 11:30 am or so pretty consistently. Going to bed at midnight or later every night is rough, but at least she was sleeping through. Last week, 5 out of the 7 nights, she was in bed between 10 and 10:30 and would sleep 12 hours. It was heavenly! We are really hoping that she'll continue to improve. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucy does great in the car for exactly the amount of time it takes to get from here to Pleasant Grove. As soon as we pull into Grandma's driveway she starts to fuss, and it's the same going home as well. We're grateful that she'll last at least that long! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be prepared for a picture overload. Here are a few more things about our baby girl!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At 4 months she weighs 16 lbs 4 oz and is 26 inches long, check out the chubbiness -</div>

Lucy and Grandma, silly girl! We really don't have any experience with stranger danger because Gavin didn't have it, ever! Almost the minute someone besides Blair and I pick her up she starts to cloud up, that little lip pokes out and then the tears come.

Our sweet, handsome little man is growing up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Where to begin? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin has been 3 for almost a month and as much as we adore this little boy, 3 is already the hardest age by far that we've encountered. The tantrums have started. He no longer listens the first, second, third or fourth time he's told to do something. He's becoming quite manipulative. It's rough. For the last couple of months we were so sure that it was Lucy's arrival that made him act this way and while we're positive that it started it, I think simply being 3 has made it continue. He's very outspoken, opinionated, and way too smart for his own good! While all this is true, he is also very helpful, observant, sweet, and so much fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin loves to read! While this has always been a fact, it seems like just the last couple of weeks it has really taken off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is Blair's school book. Gavin accidentally started eating without getting one of his books and Blair's school book was already on the table. Might as well look through it :-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think a lot of it has to do with actually having new books to read. His Aunts have sent him several new books for his birthday and he has just loved them! He has "Where's Spot?" and "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" completely memorized and has almost all of "The Little Engine that Could" memorized as well. It's gotten him more interested in his old books too which is fun for him. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin has become a fantastic speller. He is almost constantly asking us how to spell words, or spelling the words he knows for us. When he can't spell something, the conversation usually goes like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Mommy, can you spell table?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Me: "T A B L E."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin: "Actually mom it's, T A QQPOLLTURSVWMNEEOOOOOPOOOOO. That's a lot a O's!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's adorable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The words he can spell are as follows:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Daddy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mommy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gavin </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lucy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gibb</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grandma</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grandpa</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dog</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cat</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tree</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Home</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Car</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ten</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He really just amazes us!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's slowly learning to write too. He was SO proud to have been able to draw a 2 and a 3 - </div>

He loves to count as well. He'll count to 100 and beyond. He always tells me how many blueberries and strawberries I should use in my smoothie every morning, it's usually 21 or 1000 blueberries and 9 strawberries, silly boy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He LOVES to fix things! He is constantly walking around with his screwdriver fixing the door, the TV, Lucy's carseat, and sometimes just Lucy. He's almost stuck it into the outlets a few times, thank goodness we've caught him! He loves his trucks and loves anything to do outside. He is immensely proud of himself for going down the big twisty slide at the playground all by himself. We are so proud of him too!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are so pleased to say that he now loves Lucy! Some of my favorite things he says to her when we get her up in the morning are - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Good morning sweetheart! Did you wake up?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"You found Lucy mom! Did she wake up?'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Lucy's crying daddy, you better go get her. She needs a bum change!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is always so happy to see her and is actually starting to play with her, yay! We have to watch him pretty carefully now because he can get a little rough with her, but I cannot tell you how happy I am that he's paying good attention to her now. She loves him! She loves watching him play and has actually started to fuss when he leaves the room. I love it so much. It helps me believe that someday they really will be friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's hard to get a much better picture than this these days, we love these two!</div>

We are now in the process of potty training, lovely. We are on day 4 right now and have been so proud of Gavin, he's really trying and he's doing great. I'll be happy to write more on that when he's fully trained and I'm not almost more stressed out than I can handle. It's fun.</div>
