Vacation!

We had such a fun vacation. Gavin loved Disneyland and Addison just stared at everything in wonder and amazement. Gavin was barely tall enough to go on The Matterhorn and Splash Mountain so, of course, those were his favorite! He was so excited to tell everyone that he saw a monster on the matterhorn and he wasn't scared! We even went on it in the dark which I thought would be more scary but he was ready to do it again. He got soaked on Splash Mountain but he didn't seem to mind. The kids were pretty patient considering how long the lines were. Gavin really liked watching all of the characters in the Pixar parade. Addison had more fun watching the water fall. Gavin also liked the Buzz Light Year rides where we got to shoot at things. Addison loves to be outside so she was pretty happy most of the time. She did really well taking her naps in the stroller whenever she was tired. She also got to sample some real food. She loves bread and pancakes but does not like chocolate icecream. Too bad we didn't have the camera. You should have seen the look on her face before she started screaming. If you want to know more about our vacation, ask Gavin--he would be happy to tell you all about it (and I do mean ALL about it). I will post the pictures of the beach another soon.

Swimming




























We went swimming tonight at Monika's pool. It was Addison's first time and she did surprisingly well. I think she was enjoying it even though it was a little bit chilly. Gavin loves his little boat and he enjoyed jumping into the pool with it.

Basement

So our basement is still not finished and we leave for Disneyland in 3 days! Carl has been working hard but we are running out of time and our floor is still not here yet. We only have 4 days when we get back until everything has to be done for my preschool open house. Talk about stress! Aaaahhh!














Addison's new discovery is shaking her head back and forth.

Motor Boat



Addison likes to make motor boat sounds. She also thinks it is the greatest thing to blow raspberries when I am trying to feed her. She sprays food everywhere including all over me!

Family Reunion

Here are a few pictures of Gavin at our family reunion. He went on a treasure hunt, hit a pinata, and dug for coins. He also discovered that he loves fried chicken legs!
