Gavin Baptism

Gavin was baptized Sep 21, 2013. He was so excited for this. I think he loved all the attention that he was getting. Some of his thoughts when asked about being baptized. "It feels good and am so lucky that I got to be baptized. Others should get baptized to feel the holly spirit and be happy." Then next day he says "I am just so happy I got baptized." We love that Gavin made the choice to be baptized and he got to be baptized with his friend Wesley. Gavin had lots of family come and share this special day with him. Both grandparents came. Grandma Barrett give the baptism talk, Dad did the baptism and confirmation. Grandad and Grandpa were the witnesses. Cousin Samantha was the music leader and Grammy Parker gave the prayer. Gavin had fun deciding who to ask to help and calling everyone and asking them. It was a perfect day!! I was so happy watching him growing up.

Gavin Birthday and Summer Fun

Gavin Turned 8

What a fun challenging Son we have. We learn lots from Gavin and at times it is getting easier the older he gets. He is a sweet boy who loves to play with friends and siblings. He still has lots and lots of energy.

 Gavin is not a cake fan so he wanted brownies instead.

 He asked for a glow pet and flashlight and a bunch of other things that we didn't get for him. Those were his top choices. Grandma gave him money and he got a blanket from Grammy.

 Gavin gets to be in church wolf group now. He likes scouts a lot.

 For the Raingutter Regatta, mom is in charge of scouts and we did a pirate theme boat race. So pictures of my cute pirates.

 Gavin did well on his races.

 Brody got free tickets from the Library to go to Wet and Wild. We thought about not going because it was a long drive and Paris was staying with her cousins all day. But we went and the boys loved that place! We stayed all day.

 This was the scary ride.  Gavin said "It wasn't scary, but so so scary!" Brody said "It made me sick a little" He looked sick when he came off the seat during the ride. Dad didn't even want to go, but the boys had no fear, at first :)



Paris Preschool

Yea!! Paris first day of Preschool with Mrs K. She has been so excited to go ever sense the boys started school. She is doing well in school and not getting in trouble, I like that. Now talking about it a month later she is not as excited to go to school, but prefers to stay at home with mom all day. But she is learning lots and we like that. She has lots of friends in her class.
