Gavin's Walking & Quinn's Booty Dance

So Gavin is walking really well as you can see in the pictures! Quinn's booty dance is something he does everytime he caughts the football he runs around screaming touchdown and then does this ridiculous booty dance! (As seen here in the 4th picture. )




Not much else we are going to do pumpkins this weekend. Gavin was sick today and we had to pick him up from daycare, however when we got home he seemed to be fine. He is getting some of his back teeth in, so we think it is his teeth!

Best Buds

Quinn and Gavin are really learning to exist in the same house. Gavin is walking now, he barely crawls at all anymore. He has been a little sick this last week, ruuning nose, cough...

Quinn is talking more and more everyday! He wants to be Spider Man for Halloween. WE have yet to find the spider man costume in his size. We did not think he even knew who spider man was, but we bought popcorn once that had spider man on the box!

I think everyone knows that we have about a 45 minute drive to work everday, so we have become pretty resourceful driving and entertaining two kids. Gavin got fussy a couple of weeks ago, we tired everything music, singing, food, drink, nothing seem to work. Mike decieded to turn on his irish music pretty much to cover up the crying and you can not imagine what happened next. Gavin was happy as could be popping his head up and down. And Quinn was singing along.

We went to these parent teacher conferences last night at day care. Both of the boys are doing well developementally. Both of there teachers stated that they both love to eat. They have to limit Quinn to only two helpings of lunch and snacks. Mike and I will have to get second jobs to feed these two once they get to be in junior high!!!

Quinn likes to keep his mom and dad on track and says at dinner time, day prayers. It is pretty cute, but he can not understand why gavin gets to keep eating during prayers.

Da Bears

More birthday!

Quinn & Gavin Birthday Party

Just wanted to share some birthday pictures with all of you. Sorry it took so long, you can see in the one picture Gavin was grabbing the cake before we could even sing to them! He had a good time eating his cake, not too interested in opening gifts yet, so big bro Quinn took care of that part for him. We had a lot of fun and can't wait until next year. It was nice to have one big party for both boys!

Cold!!!!

So today we woke up got ready for school and this week I have been taking the boys to school myself. So I get them both dressed, our morning ritual. I open the garage door and put Gavin in the truck, I go inside to get Quinn and bring him out to the car. We get in the truck and Quinn is telling me "Mommy jack, jack," Of course I'm like what, what are you saying. Every time you can't understand what he says and ask him to repeat himself he acts if it is my fault! So finally he says "Mommy it's COLD!" OK it was like 70, not really cold by any means! So I ran back inside got him a hooded sweatshirt and a blanket and he was happy! Is this kid spoiled or what!

Grandma & Grandpa Will

Grandma & Grandpa Will came to visit a few weeks ago, I know I am little behind in the blog, I will catch up I promise! Quinn was really excited that Papa Will was coming because all he remembered is when we were home last and saw them Papa Will took him into his closet at the Shop and let him pick out what candy, chips, cookies he wanted, so of course being three that is what he wanted. It was a great visit, Quinn of course was a complete show off he played catch all day football, baseball. WE later that night went to go of dinner and Mike and I could not believe Quinn passed out at the dinner table he was so tired!

Gavin

Gavin is getting big! He staring getting two more teeth on the bottom in the last couple of weeks, today I noticed that one has come through and the other is just barely breaking the skin. He is using his little walker to walk, he walks behind it. Gavin is now in the 1-2 year old kids, he is able to hold his own, size wise there is not much difference with him and most of the other kids. He sleeps on a cot and sits in a regular chair to eat while he is at school. He is really trying to warm up to people he is not familiar with, going into this new room has really help him adjust, the good thing is one of the teachers is the same one that Quinn had so that is really nice.

Quinn

Here are a couple of pictures from this weekend. Quinn is trying out his new ty from Aunt Hilary, a baseball tee that pitches the ball to him! WOW, what a prefect gift, Quinn loves it. He could play baseball or football all day if we let him, It's kinda scary! Thr other pictures are from the Notre Dame game, Quinn likes to say GO IRISH! OR GO CUBBIES!

Doctor check up for both boys

Today we went to the docot for Quinn's three year check up and Gavins 1 year check up. Quinn was 34 punds and 37 inches tall. Gavin was 26 pounds and 31 inches tall! Gavin is in the 75% precentile and Quinn is average at 50%. The doctor asked Quinn if he was daddy's boy or mommy's boy, he of course said daddy's boy! Then he asked who you love more and he said mommy. It was pretty funny. Both boys got shots and both of them got them without any tears!!! My company bought some baseball tickets for the diamondbacks game tonight so I got four for the four of us, it was fun, of course Quinn did not want to leave, we stayed until the 5th inning and then Gavin was getting fussy!!

Funny

Quinn thinks that it is funny to do things and have me take his picture and then he wants to see how it looks and then he laughs at himself!

Gavin

Gavin is getting so big! Here are a couple cute pictures of him stuffing his face. He will literally eat anything you give him! He loves making a mess! Gavin is not walking yet although he is desperately trying! He is getting moved up to his next classroom at school now that he is 1! Birthday pictures to come! We celebrated Quinn and Gavins Birthdays this last weekend and had a great time! Gavin was not interseted in opening presents much, so of course his big brother opened most of them for him. We had green and orange dinosaur cake from Fry's grocery store, got to love the bakeries that will make anything you need!!

Cubs game

Today Mike and Quinn went to the Cubs game! Quinn loved it! He was so excited and all he wants to do is go to more games!

Visiting with Mimi,Papa Joe & Drew

Quinn had so much while Mimi, Papa Joe and Drew where here to visit. Quinn, Daddy, Papa Joe and Drew went to see a 3-d Dinosaur movie. The boys were not too sure about it at first, but afterwords they both talked liked they loved it! We seem to think that they were a little bit scared. They 4 boys also went to see Under Dog! This was a much better choice of movies! Gavin does not like the big whale in the first pictures not a happy camper!

Quinns car ride to school

Usually in the morning Quinn has a lot to share with me in our 45 minute drive to school. Today he was telling me who he would like to come to his birthday party, he named his usually Mimi, Papa Joe, Drew, Uncle Chris, Uncle Rudy and Issa, Aunt Cece (Katie), Aunt Hilary, and at the end he tells me Bo and his Daddy. I turned around and said who, he said Bo you know, come on Mommy!! Bo and his Daddy. I think he thought that Doug was Bo's Daddy. Anyways I thought it was really cute.

Quinn the Musician/ Baseball Player

In the picture with Quinn is his fancy new baseball hat that Uncle Rudy sent him, with his new flute coursity of Papa Joe, He couldn't figure out how to play the flute and make the noise sound nice. The last picture is rare to see the two boy s playing nice with each other and Quinn giving him kisses! He truly can be sweet when he wants to be! Gavin is the best baby even, I don;t know how we got so lucky, but he really is a happy go lucky big boy!

Quinn Turned 3!

So Quinn turned 3 last week we decided to have one big birthday party for both boys at the end of the month. Quinn started in his new classroom today at school, he is offically now a preschooler! He was pretty excited because now they get to play on computers, the bad thing is his friend Xaxier won't be coming into the room for a couple more months. After we got back from Indiana, Quinns friend was so excited to see him he ran up to Quinn gave him a big hug and then Quinn kissed him on the lips! Quinn got a new Diego bike for his birthday, thanks Mimi and Papa Joe! I was trying to take pictures of the two of them tofather as you can see we finally got one that looks good. I thought the other ones were funny! Good thing Gavin is a tough kid!
