BELATED FATHER'S DAY GIFT



LUNCH TIME - EARLIER TODAY

A good friend of mine who watched Owen for about 2 years, would always ask whenever I would tell her about Owen getting into something incredibly messy, "Did you take a picture of it" and I would always answer no because in the moment I would never think, I gotta take a picture of this. Well today I thought of this friend asking me that question when my 8 month old was eating or should I say playing with his food. Just keep in mind, I hate cleaning up messes like baby food, so this is about as messy as it gets for me.





GAVIN & THE POOL DO NOT MIX

Less than 2 weeks before we go to the beach - I can't wait!!! Yesterday, I got the kids into their swimsuits and decided to go to the pool. Owen had a blast. It's amazing how comfortable he is in the water now, but Gavin wanted nothing to do with it. The only place he was comfortable was in Daddy's arms. Any time he got close to the water, he would clutch onto Jason's shirt. Poor little guy. I forgot to take the camera so as soon as I got home I had to take a picture of Gavin. He just looked too cute in his new little swimming outfit. These pictures only have the top part, but that's ok he's still cute! Hopefully, he'll warm up to the pool by the time we're ready to go to the beach.


FATHER'S DAY CRAFT

For church last Sunday, I prepared a Father's Day craft for the kids to do. I printed this template that I got from Martha Stewart's website onto cardstock and cut it out to save time during the lesson, but I printed out too many so yesterday I had Owen decorate the extra's with glitter glue. He had a blast!







I'M TIRED OF BEING A GROWN UP

Life is so easy when you're a kid. There are no daunting tasks, no bills, you can eat whatever you want and barely any responsibility. Wouldn't it be great to be a kid again!!!!






GAVIN DOING THE CRAB

Gavin is crawling!!! It's exciting, but he is all over the place! He either pulls himself around the house or he gets up on his tip toes and crawls. It's really funny to watch, he looks like a crab!

Also, Gavin has started standing up by himself - Is that normal at 8 months old? I hope I don't have an early walker on my hands! Yikes!!!

Owen's first time playing with Fingerpaint
You can see he barely touched the paint in the beginning, however once he warmed up to the idea of getting messy, he was hooked!
