Gavin turns 4!!!!!!

Gavin turned 4 on the 27th of June and Nate & I were on vacation so we missed it :( but the boy's stayed at my Mom & Dads so I think they were alright :) (Pictures of our Vacation will be my next post) Gavin is really growing up fast, he is so inquisitive about EVERYTHING!!! "Mom where do clouds come from?, Mom why do people sin?, Mom where so we go when we DIE?, Mom why are the insides of our mouths all wet?" are you kidding me where does this stuff come from? He makes us laugh SO much I can hardly stand it :) Reed is also getting so big, he is running all over the place getting into literally EVERYTHING!!!! He does'nt like to play with toys for the most part, he just likes to play with everything he's not supposed to :) Yikes!!!! well we have to go to another baseball game today :) so I have to sign off

Catching up!!!!!!~

Ok so I'm sorry its taken so long to get back to posting!!! The summer has been a very busy one already!!
So to start on June 21st I ran in my first 5k marathon and FINISHED!!!!!! I finished 135 overall but 65 of those were 10k runners also so more like 70th!!!! :) it was such a great accomplishment for myself!!! I finished with a time of 41.16 min I think.......not great but not bad for my first run!!! I didn't think :) I started taking this running








the starting line


Ok...nice


I made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ok so funny story about this
Girl...... I was running the whole
last mile, so I was not really paying
much attention to anything but my running
and finishing, then all of a sudden this little twit
ran past me and got about 15 feet in front of me and
started walking then I would get right up by her
and she would take off again then she would stop about 15 feet
in front again, then she looked back at me and smiled and took off
again when I got just about up to her, I couldn't believe I was being antagonized by a 4 year old!!!


All done with the race and just
resting!!!


The whole running group from the class I went
to in Zumbrota.

Ok so I have a ton more posts to do but I need to get ready for the day........THE FOURTH IS HERE!!!!!!!!!

Ok so a funny story form this morning: Gavin,Reed and I were sitting down for breakfast and Reed and Gavin had finished and Gavin was just sitting there looking at his foot and all of a sudden he says " Oh my I think my foot is pregnant!" I said "What?" he says " I think there is a baby in there!!!"
so he showed me and I about died laughing so here is some pictures of my sons pregnant foot!!! :)





Then he really got looking and said "OH MY I think this one is too!!!"
(his other foot!!!!) Looks to be about 6 1/2 months along :)
Hahahahahahahahaha just had to share that with all of you :)

The Day of Appointments!!!!

So our day started at about 6:30 yesterday morning, when Reed got up for the day, then I had to get myself ready, then Gavin had to get dressed for his FIRST dentist apt. !!!! we had to be there at 8:00 and he did Awesome!!!! I was a little sad after he got in the chair because I realized that I had forgotten my CAMERA !!!! and he was sooooo cute in the "Space Chair" the he got to push the buttons on :) oh and also he said that he needed to get his LOOSE tooth fixed, YES he has 2 loose teeth already!!! So here are the stats about his mouth :
No Cavities and he has 20 teeth!!!! The Dr. said that he is very advanced for his age because they don't usually start to loose there teeth till about 6 years old or so and he will be 4 in 2 weeks!!! nothing to be alarmed about he just said that every kid is different!!! and don't I know it!!!


All done but Nate dropped my camera off so I could get some pictures (Love you dear!!!!) so they had him hop back up in the "Space Chair" and he showed me his pearly whites :)



So the Reed had his one year check-up at 10:30 and also 4 shots!!! yuck!
so here are the stats on him: 22.55lbs and 29 3/4 in long!!!!

My Baby's not a baby anymore!!!!!!

So Reed had his 1st Birthday on June 5th~!~!~! I had to work that day,and he had been kinda sick all day, so we didn't really make that big of a deal of it :(Oh well I don't think they remember very much of that stuff at this age anyways?!?!?! But I took some pictures today, he was lookin' so cute in his little outfit so I had to and I'll call them his 1 year pix!!! Enjoy!! :)

The outside of our house !!!

Ok so you can kinda see how it was before,
it was ALL peeling paint like the far side there
when we bought it, then we started to side it
two summers ago and we are finally getting to
paint it!!!!!

And a little after, the garage on the side
there will soon be tore off and our new
addition will go in its place!!! Hopefully
next summer or so :)

My boy's helping out on Sun.

All done with the front!!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE it :)

Gavin Sleeping in his new bed :)

It has been a long but not too long of a project, but I'm glad to say that all we have left to do is strip and stain the trim and that room will be TOTALLY done!!
something that doesn't get said alot in our house.....seems that we start little projects and then the weather gets nice outside and there is something else that needs to be done or whatever it is :( so I am really stoked about this!!! and Reed has not climbed out of his bed one time yet!! and Gavin is sleeping in his bed more than our bed now, so that is awesome too! for about the last year or so he has gotten like a little separation anxiety or something he doesn't really like to be alone anytime ?!?! oh well I better take when I can get it right now, I'm sure that will change before I know it !!! It would just be nice if it wasn't at 3:00 am!!! oh well that's what we signed up for with this parenting thing right?!
