Holidays!

We had a good Thanksgiving. We went to Grandpa Jerry's house for Thanksgiving and were also able to spend it with Shane, Kim, Sydney and Nicole. It was fun. The kids had a good time. The boys also got to go hunting with Grandpa Jerry and Valerie(who had an eld tag) and Shane and Kim(who also had a tag). They had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, they didn't get to see anyone shoot one. Paige, Gavin and I went and hung out with Grandma Crick and Jill. We just relaxed as best we could with a grouchy baby but it was still a nice break.

I just got the Christmas decorations put up. We still need the tree but most of the inside is done. Lucky Justin gets to do the outside. He can't wait. I love this time of year! I love the music, decorations, food and traditions, but most of all I love what we get to celebrate! What a great season!

 

Halloween

Friday Blake's school had a costume parade and the preschool was invited to join in. So Blake and Cody dressed up for that. I think they had fun. There were some really cute costumes there.




Here's our little monsters on Halloween night. It was a little cold but they had a lot of fun.

Time Flies!

Man time goes by! Gavin is now 9 weeks old. He had his 2 month check-up and weighed 8 lbs 9 oz. He gained almost 2 pounds in 3 weeks. Not too bad for our little guy! The doctor said he's doing great. He's growing so fast! He was blessed on October 11th, the same day he was due. Uncle Josh blessed him, so we did it in his ward. Josh also blessed his baby, Kinsley on the same day. She was born about 2 weeks after Gavin.

Paige is so funny! She goes around singing all day. We're not used to this, our boys do not sing. She is so girly! I love the picture with the purse and sunglasses. She's wants to go everywhere with me. Especially if it's to the store. She's starting early!

Cody is having fun in preschool. He loves his teacher Miss Garcia. I guess they started a new routine. After she gets done with school she drives by our house (she lives on the next street over) and waves. He waits for her everyday. It's so funny.

Blake just had is 8th birthday. I can't believe he's that old already! He had a friend party this year. He had 6 friends come over. We did pumpkin bowling, a candy corn relay race and a treasure hunt. I think they had fun. Grandpa Crick did an excellent job as the pirate so that they could get the treasure map to find the treasure. Aunt Jana and I made shrunken heads for the center piece and then we made mummy dogs, cheese fingers, and monster cupcakes. It was a lot of fun and they turned out cute. It was a little crazy! They were all a little wound up and very loud but I think he had a good time!

This is funny!

Yesterday I took Gavin to the doctor for a weight check. He weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces. He's gained 2 pounds since we left the hospital, so I guess that would be 3 1/2 weeks. Not too bad! He is still so tiny but is filling out!




Blake only has 1 more soccer game. He's the star of his team. He has scored a few goals and tries really hard for more. He is a good little player.

We were able to come home on the 11th, so we've been home about a week now. Gavin is doing great! He's eating a ton (for him). At his dr's appointment on Monday he had gained 5 ounces. That's not too bad for 3 or 4 days. Now we just need to work on sleeping during the night! The other kids love him. Cody will sit and rub his head forever. I think he's going to be bald on the top of his head for a while. Paige is always watching for milk running out of his mouth and is constantly trying to put his pacifier in whether he wants it or not. Blake loves him but doesn't smother him like the others. I think we'll keep him!
