Spring Has Sprung

We have had so much fun with all the beautiful weather we've been having!

Gavin's first time in the sandbox at Anchor Park with London and Phoebe...

He really likes kicking his legs around in the sand the most.

More fun at the park with Libby and Lucy (and Braden, but he's not in the pictures!)

Gavin does great crawling up the playground to go to the slides.

This boy loves, loves, loves to swing!
He cries if I get him out before he's ready to be done.
We swing every day in our backyard! It's such a great time to teach him things. We're working on animal sounds right now. He can bark like Dakota now!

We went to Ben & Jerry's on free ice cream cone day with Shannon and Libby.

This was Gavin's very first ice cream cone.

Yes, I just let him have it and hold it and get as messy as can be. Thank the Lord for baby wipes!

Here's a video to show how much he loved it:


He ate every last bite! Including the whole cone.

Every time Ryan has to mow the yard now, he takes Gavin with him. I think he'll be able to mow by himself next year. :)

Ryan has also been taking Gavin in the stroller running. This is what happens when this boy doesn't take naps like he should!

Our neighborhood kids have been outside with us almost every day. Gavin got a balloon at Kroger and Laney (in the picture above), a.k.a. Dakota's best friend in the whole wide world, tied the balloon to Dakota's collar. This poor dog walked around like this for about an hour!

These same neighbors have chickens in their backyard. Gavin loves them! It's like a field trip to their house!

Hooray for Spring!
