Easter Saturday

Easter weekend is one of my favorites. Since way before I was born, my mom's family has gathered together for a weekend of camping, four-wheeling, and Easter festivities. I remember how cool we thought we were when our parents let us drive the 4-wheelers without supervision. I could seriously go on forever about the fun we had. It used to be a much larger event but these days, we usually just get together for a few hours on the Saturday before Easter. This year, we got rained out the first Saturday. We still had fun around the campfire so we decided to come back the next weekend.




Here are some cute pics for your viewing pleasure. Gavin had his cousin Andrew helping him on the Easter egg hunt, and as you can see, they hit the jackpot! It worked well because we didn't want the candy so we gave it to Andrew and Gavin really only cared about the colorful plastic eggs anyway.

Gavin's New Ride


It's been a while since I posted anything so I thought I'd post a few cute pics of Gavin's cute little car we were handed down from a good friend.

He was scared to ride at first. You can see his sad face.

This is about a month later and he's still scared to push the button. However, every day when we come home, he points to the little car, makes his cute little car noise and tries to climb in. He always wants to ride but he never stays on very long. He's still learning to steer so most of the time, he ends up on the grass or in the gravel.

Kiss Me, I'm Irish

One of the best things about genealogy is finding out where you came from. Even though our Irish ancestry is a few people back on my fathers side, we still like to play it up. I tried to take a few pics of Gavin with his 'pimp' glasses but he wouldn't stand still. This is the best I got before I had to go to work.

Annual Sledding Party




We've been going to Mutual Dell every year for the past few years. It's a blast to hang with my family (cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles) and have yummy food at the cabin. Here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure.

Funny Hat


I stole this picture from my niece. My bro-in-law has this awesome hat and he let Gavin wear it for a while. I'm a fan. I'm biased, but I think he looks pretty dang cute!

4 really good years

We recently celebrated our 4th anniversary by going on a date (yes, a date!). We went to dinner and a movie with our good friends, Dan & Julie. The movie: Taken. Fantastic to say the least. We're still talking about it. The dinner: Spaghetti Mama's. Still good, even under new ownership. A little more expensive these days so maybe I'll have to start making my own butter and mazithra spaghetti. Yum!
I love my hubby! He is so good with our son and so good to me. I couldn't ask for any more than that! The past 4 years have really been a blast!
