Pictures!

Gavins 9 month pictures! Enjoy...

Weekend

This weekend we went to Illinois for Nathans little brothers wedding.

We were a little worried about taking Gavin on the plane, but he was SO good. He slept every time we flew.

I think the most difficult part was trying to occupy Gavin while we were waiting for our flights.

Jason and Jenna got married in the Nauvoo Temple, which is beautiful!

Congrats to Jason and Jenna!

Their reception was held the next day in O'Fallon. It turned out great. The weather wasn't too bad, it didn't rain and it wasn't too horribly hot.

Gavin got to wear a Fuchsia tie too!

Go Gavin Go!!

Gavin has been pushing him-self up onto his knees and/or toes!

He'll figure out this crawling business in no time...

I guess that means its time to get out my running shoes huh?

p.s. I just love these photos so I had to add them. They're Gavin's 6 month pictures I finally got around to editing.

Life

Here are some random pictures of our lives.... ok well mostly just Gavin's life.

Nate complained about not being in any of the rock climbing pictures from our family reunion, so here you go.

This was a while ago, I don't remember what upset him, but I think his face is pretty cute.

These next few are just some of the faces Gavin makes. He is too silly and makes me smile all day.

I let Gavin play with his food.... he got real messy.

So we had to have a bath.

While Nate's mom has been in town we've been doing a lot of fun stuff. One weekend we went to the mud races. The cars were SUPER loud.

This past weekend Nate and I went up to Logan UT for one of my good friends wedding. Isn't this such a beautiful Temple?

On our way home we stopped by some old friends of ours and they showed us their horses.

We met up with some of Nate's family and went and saw the movie Salt, and then went for ice cream. Gavin LOVES ice cream.

On Saturday I went on a hike with Vivian and her mom, brother, and sister. We saw a lot of pretty wild flowers.

I've tried to upload a video of Gavin laughing, but either my computer is too slow or I'm too impatient. Maybe another day...

Howells Family Reunion

Fun pictures from the reunion.

I'll let the pictures explain them-seves....

Happy 4th of July

Here are some pictures from our 4th of July celebration.

Gavin and my little sister waiting for the parade to start. If you look closely to this first picture you can see Gavin's cute bottom front teeth.  

They passed out these cute little flags to all the kids. I think Gavin liked his. 

Then he got pretty tired.... not even the big sirens from the firetrucks woke him. 

Once the parade was over we had a yummy BBQ.

After our BBQ the kids played on the big blow-up slide which is always lots of fun. Although we weren't sure what Gavin thought of it.

 He for sure didn't like the screaming fireworks.
