Gavyn 5 Months

I love every expression he makes!

P.S. I love the blanket Lisa. It's so beautiful!!! You did such wonderful job, and it matches the nursery perfect. Thank you!!!

Musical Beds

Have you ever heard of musical beds? I'm sure most moms with kids have played it once or twice before. Anyways, this is how we play: Grayson and Gavyn start out in our bed. Once Grayson is in a deep sleep, we move him to his bed. Gavyn then goes to sleep and he either goes in the playard or his swing. Usually Gavyn wakes up first, and I'm so tired I put him in bed with us. If I'm really lucky Grayson wakes up at the exact same time as Gavyn and he walks into our bedroom. Grayson then gets into our bed and falls asleep, so we are right back where we started. I can't go back to sleep because the order in bed is Marc, Me, Gavyn then Grayson and I'm worried Grayson might fall of the bed. So I wait for Grayson to fall back into a deep sleep and then I take Gavyn with me to Grayson's bed to sleep. Whew... it's no wonder I never feel rested! Oh well, these two little boys are totally worth it!!!

COOL CUTS

Thank you Cool Cuts for being so cool. Grayson normally doesn't like to get his haircut, however today was a good day for a haircut. He played a video game, watched Diego and sat in a Firetruck all while getting a haircut. Plus, the lady who cut his hair was awesome with him and he loved her. It definitely was the most expensive haircut after the hair gel and toy was added to the total. Oh well, it was totally worth it!!! Grayson's hair was looking pretty bad.

Yesterday,

our day consisted of:

robot pancakes,

Gavyn riding "Big Boy" style in the shopping cart for the 1st time,

and I was greeted with this Turkey when I arrived to pick up Grayson from school.

yEaH gAvYn!!!

Robots

Grayson loves robots, so we went a little crazy drawing them with chalk this afternoon. He insisted after I drew the first one, that I draw a mommy, daddy and baby robot as well. So I guess it was our family robot style. We are thankful for all of the beautiful weather we have had. Oh, and Happy Veterans Day to all those who have served and are serving in the military and especially to those who have lost their lives fighting for our freedom!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you...

Ohdeedoh

I never imagined Gavyn's room would be selected for "The Small Kids, Big Color" contest, but it was. I took the pictures last minute and just entered for fun. I wanted to take some pictures of his room before we moved and I ran across this competition to win a shopping spree to Dwell Studios. The only thing I need now is votes. So please click below on Gavyn's room and click on thumbs up to vote. You have to register for an account, but it's simple. You can only vote for 48 hours so please, please, please hurry!

Gavyn's Room

please... with cherries on top and all!!!

My Robot Hat

I told Grayson to get his robot hat the other day to match his shirt. He came back with his Longhorn hat that he normally won't put near his head. Apparently, a longhorn resembles a robot in Grayson's eyes.

Opening Weekend 2009 (from Grayson's view)

I drove my daddy's truck,

went to the river and threw a lot of rocks into it,

went to see the big stinky hogs,

hitched a ride on my daddy's shoulders,

saw a skull of some sort and daddy asked me to hold it, I said "no way" and jumped on it with my boots and crushed it instead, my mommy got bored waiting on the hunters so she took a picture of herself, spent time with my Papa Cleber, hugged my baby brother, thought my brother looked so cute he needed his picture taken,

looked at a turtle on the road,

the turtle was a little crazy and kind of scared me,

went to see Papa and Grandma's remodeled ranch house

whew... I did a lot this weekend. I'm a little tired but I had a blast!!!!

Live From Afghanistan

Garrett called this morning and told us to watch Fox on Sunday because Fox NFL is coming to their base. I'm not sure if we are going to get to see him, but it will be neat to see a little bit of his life right now. Below is an article from the Fox Sports website so check it out. FOX NFL Sunday to host special from Afghanistan by FOX NFL Sunday, FOX Sports Updated: November 6, 2009, 1:32 PM EST During Sunday evening's postgame show The OT, FOX Sports announced that it would broadcast a two-hour special FOX NFL Sunday on Nov. 8 (11 a.m. ET) from an undisclosed military installation in Afghanistan. The team of Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and Jay Glazer will do the special just three days before Veterans Day as a tribute to the dedication of America's service men and women. "Our men and women in the military put themselves in harm's way to protect everything we hold dear, and none more so than those who are stationed in the Middle East," FOX Sports Chairman David Hill said. "It is our privilege and honor to take FOX NFL Sunday to them in November, right before Veterans Day. Amidst the fun and football, it's our hope to showcase the dedication of these men and women who have to defend against a lot more than the wildcat." FOX Sports is doing the special in conjunction with Armed Forces Entertainment, the lead Department of Defense agency for providing entertainment to U.S. military personnel serving overseas. "Armed Forces Entertainment brings our men and women in uniform serving overseas a piece of home — to give them support during deployment," said Armed Forces Entertainment Chief and Air Force Col. Edward Shock. "And during football season, there's no better slice of Americana to bring to our troops overseas than the guys on FOX NFL Sunday. It's going to be one heck of an event and we salute FOX for their dedication and support of the U.S. military." This is not the first time FOX NFL Sunday will have originated from a military setting. In December 2000, FOX NFL Sunday broadcast two shows from the flight deck of the USS Harry S. Truman, then on patrol in the Mediterranean Sea.

Hope This Makes You Smile...
