Driveway Time!

What better way to spend a beautiful night, than right here in the driveway! Just hanging out with the neighbors and watching the kids play.....I love warm weather!

  The boys digging in the mulch.....why because they are BOYS!

Lounging and snacking

So Blessed!

I feel so blessed to be this little boy's mother! I love the fact that I get to spend everyday with him, watching him grow, play, and learn. Watching him enjoy life.....I love you Gavin Bo!

Easter Weekend

Well, we had a wonderful, relaxing, and blessed Easter spending time with family back in Iowa. We headed back on the Thursday before Easter and came back that following Monday, so it was a nice little trip "home". This was the first year Gavin got to experience hunting for Easter eggs and he really seemed to enjoy it.  He would shake very egg before putting it in his basket to make sure it had something in it.....they learn so quick! We just want to thank all of our parents for making this Easter very special and fun for Gavin. So, here is a quick recap of our Easter weekend.

 Now, right before we left town we received a special delivery from Grandpa & Grandma D. They got Gavin an entire bucket full of Easter bunny cookies!! He loved them!! Here he is munching away on his Easter cookies!

We spent that Thursday night before Easter with Pat and Rose and stayed up late "of course" playing cards. Gavin enjoyed sitting at the kids table playing with all the Easter eggs and bunnies. 

On Friday we headed over to George and Dixie's house. It was a blast coloring Easter eggs with all the other cousins...Gavin was not so into coloring eggs, but I enjoyed it!! ;) George and Dixie even did a special little Easter egg hunt just for Gavin. 

Gavin taking his first "4-wheeler" ride with his cousin Braydn....he cried when we took him off!

Before leaving Sumner we did stop in to see Courtney's grandma. This would be Gavin's great-grandma Jean! I loved this moment between the two of them. I got the privilege of meeting many of my great grandparents and I can only hope that as Gavin gets older he will be able to experience more moments like these.  

After visiting Courtney's family in Sumner we headed to Waterloo to spend Easter with my mom and Steve. Gavin woke-up Easter morning to a room full of gifts from the Easter bunny. After shaking every egg to make sure there was something inside he then wanted to open every egg! He definitely was a fan of all the chocolate candy.

After church we had a relaxing day playing outside. My grandma and grandpa Olson also came over to join us for an Easter Dinner.

The morning we left town it was raining....and somebody wanted to splash around in the rain!

Wonderscope

Gavin and I joined my cousin Traci and her crazy bunch one afternoon to Wonderscope. It is an old school that they have turned into a learning museum for kids. Each room has a different theme and hands on activities for the kids to participate in. We had an amazing time and are SOOO looking forward to going again soon!

Gavin and Stephen playing in the "Farm Room". They had everything from how to milk a cow to growing vegetables. 

Here is Gavin taking care of a little sick dog in the "Veterinarian Room". He was so determined to get the dog's temperature. LOL

Gavin and Abigail learning about x-rays

One of his favorite rooms was the "Submarine Room" which was made out of legos.
