First Father's Day

Well, Andrew had a great first father's day! It was actually a "father's weekend"! It started off after he got home from his firefighter exam Saturday morning. Gavin and I greeted him with a little scavenger hunt we made to collect clues and supplies we needed for the weekends activities. By the end Andrew had found out he was to leave and go get a 1 hour massage, then on Sunday we had steak, scallops, and strawberry shortcake, gifts, and then went off the a beautiful park for some hiking and fishing.

Gavin LOVED being in the carrier and going through the woods.
He was laughing sooo hard when we would duck to get under tree branches!! What a great family day it was!!






Gavin's ready!!



"Duck!!"


Ready to explore!!



We have never heard Gav laugh as hard as he was when we were ducking under tree branches!



Guess he's had enough!

Right before we left a storm was rolling in (which is why we were leaving!) and there was this gorgeous rainbow!

Time with Daddy

Gavin sure loves his daddy! Especially when daddy teaches him new things....like fishing, going in the woods, playing in the grass, and swimming!





Daddy teaching Gav how to fish for the first time!


King of the front yard!


Gavin's "war cry"!!!



"Hmm...maybe grass doesn't taste as good as I thought it would"!!



Ready for a swim!
Gotta kiss those cheeks!!


"I don't know, maybe it looks like rain"!

Girl's Weekend!

Two weekends ago I went to Stuart FL (between Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale) for my second annual girls weekend trip with 5 of my friends from Jacksonville. My friend Lauren's parents own a condo on the beach which is where we stayed last year but it was under construction this year so they had some friends that were kind enough to let us stay in their's.


I went from Wed.-Sun. I left Gavin at home with daddy (and Aunt Carolynn)! He did great! It was so relaxing and refreshing to spend time with such great girlfriends talking, laughing, walking on the beach, floating in the pool, eating, late night talks over coffee, playing games, and going to a movie!

What great husbands we have to make this a priority for us to be able to do
each year and hold down the fort at home! Already looking forward to next year!!





"Bowchickawowow"!!!



We spent LOTS of time by and in the pool!!
