Random May Moments

So these are some random May moments. I have finally gotten around to pulling off all 400+ pictures off my phone and these are the last to share.

The new attire someone special will be wearing to his next A's game. You can see for yourself he LOVES it.

The girls made a friend during science week.

This was the day we were all sick. It hit me in the morning. Dave stayed home to take care of the kids, to get them to school, and Ava's filed trip. He got sick seconds before leaving. The kids seemed fine until they got home from their respective places. Within an hour they were throwing up too. Good times.

This was a gift from a friend. It is size 18 months and has not been washed. My nine month old is a giant.

He who control the remote wins---> WINNING!

Ava geared up for her friend's party in a castle in the park yesterday.

While she was playing princess and running around Olivia and Nick were catching crawfish with hot dogs. They were loving it. When Ava's party ended all the kids fished, rode the rides, had lunch, and fished some more.

Rollie Fingers Bobblehead day

 Gavin was gearing up for the big game. His first baseball game and bobblehead day.

 We sat in the shade until the game started since our tickets were so close to the field we didn't want to get sunburned.

 My man and I hung out until the sun went down clapping like crazy when the players were being introduced.

 You know what happens when you have great seats... you win great prizes. The kids all received free Oakland Zoo tickets and zoo hats as well getting their picture taken with Stomper.

 Ava turned back to give him a high five.

 And here they are winning their tickets on the jumbotron.

Great day all around. Free tickets to the game, free parking pass, two free t-shirts for Dave and I and the kids had a ball. Couldn't have asked for a better day.

Easter Eggstravaganza 2012

Gearing up for the hunt...

Wearing their bunny ears and feeling proud and hopeful.

Gavin's first collection of eggs. He picked up 4 eggs with help from mom and he was a winner!

Ava is picking the best eggs ever...

Their loot!

After the hunt, the kids ate hot dogs, cotton candy, cookies, pop corn, played in the petting zoo, and made some crafts.

Ready to head home and examine the candy and the new bunnies. Ava won the brown bunny and Gavin won the big blue bunnies.

Gavin liked his new bunny.

He even roughed it up a bit.

And then threw it aside in favor of a truck.

 Here's a few extra pictures I found of the easter egg hunt. Here;s Gavin just sitting by the eggs.

 The collector.

 The finder.

 The squeezer of the fowl.

 The bunny lover.

He who eats plastic eggs meant for Olivia school. I'm sure they appreciated a little bit of drool with the candy inside. Hehehe.

First Hunt of Spring

  The race was on. Ava and Olivia went crazy running around collecting eggs.

 And it paid off. In the eggs both girls received a ticket for a prize to claim. Ava won a big basket and Liv won a small basket but traded for a chocolate bunny.

 Even the little tyke came out with some swag. He was given a bucket and toys.

 While the girls collected eggs Gavin played in the ball pit. He liked it but was questioning the others who wanted in on his party.

 There was also a great photo op with the bunny and Gavin just couldn't wrap his head around why his head was so big.

But he was pretty cool anyway.

March- The Lowdown...

Since we are already half way through March I can't even keep up with all that has gone on so here is a glimpse of the month in pictures:

We went to visit Uncle Phil and Aunt Barbara's house where the girls got to ride on the tractor and the car.

Here they are holding Gavin. He wasn't so sure that he wanted to be held but after 5 minutes Aunt Barbara couldn't put him down.

The look of love.

Here's Ava with her cousin Ava...

My monkeys climbing the tree.

While Ava was meeting the other Ava, Olivia was playing with the other Olivia. Yip we have two of both.

Here's Gavin getting to know his cousins...

The gang figuring out who gets to ride what next.

Gavin enjoys the tub as much as his sisters do.

My naked baby getting all lathered up by his daddy.

And this is the end result. My little man is such a cutiepie.

And here he is in his first tie. Ready to go to work with daddy.

Apparently he doesn't like the idea of working too much. I'm right there with you bud!

A boy and his dog. What a trusty companion. Someone who will sit by him, lick his face when mom didn't clean it good enough, and someone who slowly backs away when she smells something foul.

And here's Gavin's first lady friend. A nurse nonetheless.

Come here baby.... you look so lovely today.

Ha! Fooled you- she's just a doll.

We took a trip to the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley. Ava loved climbing on the whale.

As well did Olivia. The whale alone was worth the drive.

Even Gavin got up on it and rode the whale.

Here Gavin tried to poke the whale's eye out. The attempt was unsuccessful but it didn't deter him from trying at least a few more times.

Grammie and Papa happened to be at our house that weekend so they came with us. They had a great time.

Papa loved to squeeze his ladies.

Grammie and Papa and all the grand kids sitting by the fountain waiting for the place to open.

Me and my parents with our little Gavinator.

And here's the best part about the Lawrence Hall... the petting room.

Salamander was squished just a tad by Olivia who I don't really believe thought it was real and breathing. Oops.

The adventurous one HAD to pet the snake.

Liv taking flight!

Ava on the left, Liv on the right.

Ava flying with her wings on upside down.

This was the night Dave had went to Orange County for a trial. He brought with him Captain Underpants to read on SKYPE to the girls before they went to bed. He's awesome. Yes I know.

Because Gavin's cool... he wears RUN DMC.

And this month guess who is starting to crawl... 7 months old... means he could be walking by 9 months like Liv. AHHHH!

Awe. My sweet angel.

All of my sweet little angels.

Tattooed like his momma.

Dressed up just for kicks. So far that's March!
