Ava looked sooooo cute in her blessing dress!

Boise Zoo here we come!

It was fun to go to the zoo in a big group. The kids did really well considering how many there were.
Me and my kids.

Look at how many chicks are in the nest!

Poor Gavin had to ride in a girl stroller. I forgot to bring my stroller so I used Ashley's.

Two turtle heads?

Corey's work

After we went to the zoo we went to visit Corey at work. He gave us a tour of the airplanes he works on.
Say cheese!



Gavin's 1st hair cut!

While we were at my mom's Gavin got his first hair cut! His hair was starting to stick up everywhere. He didn't like getting it done so I had to constantly feed him to make him sit still.
He had to get in the sink to clean the hair off. His hair looks so much better now!
As I am writing about Gavin's first hair cut Hannah decided to give him his second hair cut. She look out several big chunks out of the back. :(

Angela's Visit

Angela brought a plaster from work and we made plaster hands and feet of Ava, Xander, and Gavin. Each of the babies did really good at holding still.
This is the end result. Ava's set was sooo small. And Gavin's is huge compared to the others!

Aunt Jaime and baby Alexander.

Hannah and Peyton enjoying the warm weather.

My cute boy! Angela and Ashley feeding their babes. Look at the size difference. Big difference for only being 11 days apart.

Grandpa and Xander sleeping. Okay, grandpa was faking it for the picture!

The kids were all getting rowdy so grandpa told them to play the freeze game. Everyone was laughing at Hannah's face.

And of course we scrapbooked.

Our first camping trip!

We went camping at Lost Lake for our first camping trip. We camped on the river this time instead of the lake. There are fewer people camping on the river. As soon as we got our trailers parked and level the guys took off for wood. They used the Rhino, wagon, and of course Mike to get the wood.
Gavin LOVED being outdoors and being dirty. He didn't want held at all. He only ate a little dirt! :)

I had to include this picture. Emma is such an animal lover. She was loving Bailey so much and Bailey just sat there and let her do it.

Hannah and Megan LIVED on the four wheeler. They were two peas in a pod. We let Hannah drive once by herself ( I was on there with her of course) and she loved it.

This is my handsome boys riding in the Rhino. Gavin fell asleep almost the minute we left.

We stopped at another camp site that we might go to next time. It was a cool spot by the river. We had a small snowball fight while we were stopped.

We played in the water a little bit. It was still REALLY cold!!!! The kids were more daring and spend more time in the water than I did.

We bought Hannah a fishing pole before we left and she liked fishing. She caught on really fast.

And of course there was marshmellows. Jason always makes the fire really hot so we had to get pretty far away.

Marshmellow face! She asked for marshmellows the minute she woke up in the morning.

Lemonade stand

For weeks Hannah has been asking if she can have a lemonade stand so she can sell lemonade to "customers". She watched her favorite show "Max and Ruby" where they sell lemonade. So when we had a yard sale on Memorial Day weekend we let her sell lemonade. She had a blast and actually made quite a bit of money.

I have a climber on my hands!

This is the first time Gavin has climbed anything other than the stairs And now he is climbing on everything! May 21, 2009

Playing in the yard

Gavin pushing his bike.
Gavin always wants in the jeep to go for a ride but he can't sit up very well. He ends up on the floor of the jeep.

Pizza Girl

Hannah gained some skills from the Little Firefly. She helps me make homemade pizza at home. My little chef!

Wildlife

People don't see this in their front yards every day. This fox is a regular at our house now. He/She has its nose about 2 inches from my knee.
Just sitting there without a care in the world.

A herd of elk came to our house to visit. When we saw them they were starting to cross the street into our yard but Hannah spooked them a little when she opened the door. There were 15 head of elk.

Fun Facts

Fun fact about Gavin: When he is in his highchair eating he will turn his bowl or plate over to indicate he is done.

Fun fact about Hannah: She is terrified of bugs. She has a hard time playing outside because of bugs. She actually did pretty well camping. Now if only her cousins will stop chasing her around with huge plastic bugs! :)
