Memorial Weekend

Gavin and Mom took a short trip to visit some friends. While they were out and about they came across a bus and Gavin just HAD to "Touch it!"

Gavin has really enjoyed playing with Will. It is sure nice of cousin Will to let Gavin wrestle him to the ground.

Gavin, Jack and Liam are scoping out the golf clubs. The big debate, 7 iron or do you go with the 6 iron?
While out over Memorial weekend we got to see Grandma Mary. We had a nice dinner and had a lot of time to play outside.

While doing some yard work, the dirt magically attached to Gavin's face. Hmmm? How does that happen?

We had some fun this past month, especially Gavin. We experienced Naked Gardening as we planted flowers in the planters. He was covered in dirt and mud by the time we were done. He thinks he's a master gardener now.

As we prepared Gavin's new room, we've been trying to get him all excited about the "big boy bed" with the hopes of a smooth transition. Gavin left the crib on Saturday during Memorial Weekend and hasn't looked back yet. We are shocked that despite rolling, talking and bouncing around in the big boy bed, he has never left the bed and got down on the floor........yet.

We also had Kristi help put on a wall decoration in Gavin's new room. Most mornings if Gavin's already awake we hear him tell us, "Cars!"

When Gavin had his first nap in the big boy bed, he passed out immediately because he played so hard that morning. We think he likes the extra space as you can see, he's sprawled out all over the bed. We all REALLY know who he gets that from. He looks like his dad, but ................?

We did a lot of hanging out at home, kicking back at the neighbors, and spending some time at Great Grandma Mary's on Sunday over Memorial Weekend. Gavin got to see some of his cousins, they played well together having a lot of fun being silly. We've also been training on the baseball swing. He's got the stance down! He told dad while driving to the store, "Baseball!" repeatedly.....finally dad turned the radio onto the Twins station......Gavin yelled excitedly, "BASEBALL!!!" My question is this, does he really know it's baseball's play by play on KSTP 1500?

Everyday we realize Gavin is not a little boy any more. He is the "Big Slice" as it says on his shirt. Evey morning he goes to daycare and announces what is on his shirt. I think he will be into clothes for sure.

Here we have Gavin giving us a little dance as he rocks out to Cindy Lauper! We enjoyed a little grill out with the neighbors. Gavin was going strong just like a true rock star. He didn't slow down despite staying up past 10:00 PM.
