Haircut

Today we gave Quinn a haircut, it was getting long for the hot weather out here. We have not buzzed Gavin yet, although we may not need to it seems as though his hair is more like mine than Mikes. We gave him a cut around his ears, it was getting long! We have been busy trying to paint some of the rooms in the house.

Presents

Last week Quinn had a gift by the front door when we got home! As you can see he got a Norte Dame Jersey Number 83, and M&M's. Thank you Doug and Robin! Quinn loves the football shirt he likes it so much he wanted to sleep in it that night! The other picture is of Quinn in his new sunglasses and I told him he was a cool dude and he always tells me no mommy I'm a big boy. So Mike told him he was a rock star, so now he thinks he is a rock star whenever he puts on his sunglasses.

Gavin's ouchee

So it was a long week for me, with Mike being in California all week. I took Quinn and Gavin to McDonalds to get dinner one night and we brought it home, got both of them set a the table quick ran to the bathroom, the next thing I know Gavin is screaming bloody murder, Quinn is standing next to him with this straw from his cup poking Gavin in his eye! Of course the eye started bleeding, I was so mad!!! THe picture you can see his right eye! The onther picture of Gavin pushing his little toy I took today he has started trying to walk already!! Needless to say I am very happy Mike is home! IN the last picture Quinn is showing everyone his dinosaur face and that he will be three soon! Oh how time flies by! On Friday night we went to pick Mike up from the airport and Quinn had to have his window rolled down as we drived by the terminal Quinn was yelling out the window "Dad where are you" It was really funny, the things he comes up with.

Just Cause

Quinn's third birthday is fast approaching and he has been telling us that he wants a blue bike, the other day I asked him what kind of cake he wanted he informed me that he wanted a green and orange dinosaur cake, WOW I have no idea how I'm going to pull that one off, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. His new thing is dinosaurs, it seems every since we watched the movie Night at the Museum he loves them, he got upset the other night because Gavin had dinosaur PJ's and he didn't! For some reason I think 3 is going to be more work than 2 for Quinn everything lately is "watch" "wait" "I don't know" "Help". It's funny for a long time I couldn't wait for him to talk now that's all he does. I find myself with Gavin just going with the flow, it's amazing the things I've given Gavin to eat at this age compared to Quinn. Gavin will pretty much eat anything you put in front of him, I have successful weaned him off the bottle already and formula!!!! Now if I could just get him potty trained! Not much going on out here other than Mike is going to training this week in California, so just me and the boys!

weekend

We had a pretty boring weekend, as you can see Quinn got hurt, he was trying to climb into Gavins bed and fell and hit his eye on the bed. The other pictures are our daily regimen with Quinn playing baseball he either wants to catch or bat, which has become dangerous in the house. Gavin's hair is getting long but have not wanted to buzz him yet! Gavin has started to pull himself up. He sure is grwoing fast, he is feeding himself, we are now trying to wean him off the bottle!

Tubby Time

Yesterday I gave Gavin a bath and he has bath towels to be either a Dog or a Frog! The Picture of Quinn making a fishy face, is him practicing so when he goes swimming he can keep his mouth closed! He loves having mommy and daddy take the pictures of him doing silly things and then looks at them in the camera and laughs to himself. Last week we were driving to work and the two of them had a blanket in the back seat playing tough a war, laughing to each other, They think that they are really funny! It is nice they are sarting to interact more with each other.

Quinn & Gavin

Today I took Gavin to the doctor for his 9 months appointment, Gavin weight was 23 pounds and height 29 and 1/2 inches, the doctor said he is a big boy, but not the biggest I ever seen, he is in the 90 precentile for babies his age! Trust me he is a big boy! We loves eating regular food just like the rest of us, no baby food for this big guy! As you can see Quinn has gotten big as well, I can;t believe he is going to be 3 already in August, he keeps telling Mike and I that he wants a blue bike for his birthday! Mostly because his friend Matt Nightengale got a blue bike for his birthday! Not much else new here, trying to stay cool, in the 110's the last week! The picture with Gavin and his tongue just cracks me up, he figured out what his tongue was and has been playing with it for the last couple of weeks.

Just Hanging Out

Here are some recent pictures of the boys!

swimming

Quinn has really enjoyed the swimming pool he swims around the pool with his little arm floates all by himself. Between Swimming and playing baseball that is all he talks about. His new favorite thing to tell Mike and I is, WAIT! He also makes sure that we put suncreen on him so he does not get sunburn, but he says its like sunburdt. Uncle Rudy and Karissa came to visit last week and took Quinn to see Shrek the Third, QUinn also has life size cardboard stand ups of Shrek and Donley in his room, coursity of Pepsi and Uncle Rudy! Gavin is 9 months old now and crawling around like there is no tomorrow, Quinn can't do anything without his brother right there. He has four teeth and perfers to feed himself, no baby food for this guy! He should have his 9 month check up soon, and we can't wait to seee how big he is. Quinn told Mike and I at dinner the other night he was going to go to Norte Dame to play baseball, then we asked him about Gavin he said he is going play Football, it was really cute!

Cousins

Here are some recent pictures when Aunt Katie and Drew came to visit! Gavin was not happy for long sitting in the grass!

The Pool is Ready!

The swimming pool is ready, it is a litlle chilly. Quinn has been dying to get in it so we let him stand on the first step. Later that day dad was brave and went swimming with Quinn.

Vegas

We went to meet Mimi and Papa Joe and Teri in Vegas this past weekend. Papa Joe was the big winner, as you can see he came in second in a black jack tournament!! We had lots of fun the last picture of Quinn and Mimi is at the Rio we decided to take Quinn to see the Mardi Gras show and as you can see it was not PG rated! He discovered what pole dancing was. We went to the seafood buffet at the Rio, we love seafood and so does Quinn he loved the fried shrimp. The boys were troopers for the 5 hour ride there. We got to see the Hoover Dam, I found it extremely interesting to see.

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter! We had the Nightengales over for dinner. It was a beautiful day and the Easter Bunny did a good job getting Quinn exactly what he wanted, a baseball glove. He has not put it down since he got it. Before his baseball glove came he was using a phot album as a glove, good imagination I must say! AS you can see Gavin is getting to be a big boy, he sits up all by himself and enjoys rolling around on the floor.
