Our New Years

So, this is super late, but it seems as though we've been pretty busy around here. Of course there has been the traveling because it doesn't seem that Matt or I can sit put for to long. Although Matt's travels are mainly business & mine are always pleasure, but still. I suppose we have quite a bit to write about, not sure I'll get it all on here any time soon, but I'll try.

We had a really fun New Years. My sister Paige & her family came into town & instead of even entertaining the thought of going down the crazy strip this year we decided to head over to Lake Las Vegas. I had never been so I was pretty excited. We got a room for all of us to share & had a lot of fun. Here are a few pictures of our fun time.

Here is Gavin with his beautiful cousin, Valentina. They were getting thrown around like crazy & having a great time! They were hilarious.

Gavin is just about to get taken out by this pillow. Gavin & V had their first pillow fight. Although I'm pretty sure we were all tougher on the little man. He loved it though.

The AWESOME fireworks...that only Paige & I were able to stay up for.

The next morning getting ready to relax in the hot tub.


Gavin enjoying his gelato even though it was definitely NOT warm outside.

The 3 of us. :)

Merry Christmas!

We had an awesome Christmas!! We relaxed in our pajamas all day & ate lots of great food & candy! Gavin loved opening all of his presents & continued to ask for more presents throughout the day. He's so fun. He's talking so much (seriously, he doesn't stop) we can now have mini conversations with him. I LOVE IT!
I didn't take very many pictures of our Christmas fun though...I know so unlike me, but I was so into all that was going on & kind of forgot to stop and take some pictures. But I did manage to take a few so here are a few of our lovely day. Hope you all had a fun Christmas too!!!

Gavin & his basketball hoop.

This card sings Feliz Navidad when you open it. Which Gavin dances like crazy to every time. It's hilarious!

Gavin playing with his trash truck (which he has developed a small obsession with) & that's his kitchen in the background.

Pomegranate Picking

The other weekend we had the chance to go up to Matt's Grandparent's house. We had so much fun! They have this huge yard, which I'm pretty sure Gavin was drooling over...I know I was.
We got to do so many fun things while we were there! Gav asks almost every day, "Hama's house?". And he talks about the "baby" playground he got to play on inside the giant fig tree (which I am in love with! that tree is AWESOME!). He talks about the donkey, sheep & goat he got to touch and feed. And he absolutely loves, loves, loves the little motorcycle is great Grandma gave to him. He even refers to it as "Hama's". Hopefully we can get back up there soon because we all had a blast! Here are some pictures of our very fun day!

We were able to pick the remaining pomegranates and take them home! They are so delicious! Although I don't really have the patience for them, so Matt has to tackle the process of getting all the seeds out & then I am right there, ready to enjoy.

Pomegranate Picking

On some adventures with his Great Grandma (they found a bee hive, which Gavin really wasn't to sure about) & she took him on a bike ride which he thoroughly enjoyed.
The incredibly awesome fig tree!
Feeding and petting the animals
Eating pomegranates with Great Grandma & learning how to use scissors (he was so proud of himself)
The fun bike ride...I love this picture
My cute boy
We also were able to have some fun with their 4-wheeler. All of us LOVED that and can't wait for the day when we can have our own!

THANK YOU Grandma & Grandpa Clark for having us over & for such a fun day!

Seriously Hilarious
