hEllO tHeRe!

SO....it's been a while. Although now that I have the time to sit down and update all of you on our lives, I cannot really think of anything to tell ya. I am tired and looking forward to the day that my little Gavin sleeps through the night. Yes I know he is almost 15 months and he should have been sleeping all night like months ago right? Well, he doesn't and I am starting to think that he never will. ;) Although I did stop breastfeeding and that has helped. So I guess I should be a little more positive right? Gavin is growing up so fast, I swear he grows an inch a week. He is my little helper and has to help me with all of the chores around the house. He vacuums, dusts, and washes the windows and floors. It's a little scary actually. Oh and he is obsessed with mowing the lawn. He hears the lawn mower and he screams and throws a fit until we take him outside so that he can mow too. He eats nonstop and he always grabs things out of the pantry and hands it to me so I will open it for him. (usually the chips) He always wants to do what Trysten is doing and loves playing with our neighbors; Ruby, Nattie, and Tate just as much as his brother does. Both of the boys are very sociable and just love to play with their friends. Although Gavin shows his love by biting and pushing, hopefully it's just a phase that won't last much longer. Trysten is definitely a chatterbox and I swear he talks 24/7 without stopping. He is enjoying the warm weather(finally) and loves playing on his new swing set. His cast is finally off and he has a killer mohawk. I will put a pic of it on here soon. Oh yeah! We got a kitty about 2 months ago. His name is Dirty Goulet (don't ask) and he is freakin' awesome. The kids love him and he is so good with them. And even Keith likes him which is quite amazing. Trysten carries him around the house like a little baby and Gavin tries to pick him up by his tail, hair, or head. You would think that Dirty would get mad and scratch Gavin but he just meows and waits patiently until someone saves him. He's a pretty awesome cat.
We are excited for the summer. We are finally going places this year. We're going to the Oregon coast for Fourth of July weekend. And Trysten gets to go see Thomas the Tank Engine at the end of the month. So it should be fun.
We hope everyone is doing well and we miss you all.
