Will You be my Valentine?

Happy boy after eating delicious valentine cupcakes.

Trucks!

Gavin loves big trucks! He gets so excited when he sees one drive by. There is an auto shop close to our apartment that we walk by regularly. They have a bunch of AAA tow trucks parked along the street. Gavin always stops there and stares at the trucks. They are pulling in and out regularly and he loves to watch them and hear the sounds they make. The drivers now recognize us, wave to Gavin and they even will turn on their lights and make all the truck noises for him. He just loves it and he could spend all day just standing there. Luckily today I was smart and put a couple dollars in my pocket to buy a diet coke at the fast food place right next door. It made the time a little more enjoyable for me! I love that he is such a boy. I think I need to buy him some big trucks to play with!

Weekend at the Beach

WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!

I just couldn't narrow these pictures down. I was having fun with my new camera, playing with the settings. I think we got some great pictures from our weekend trip down to Laguna Beach a few weeks ago.

January Fun!!

We have had a busy but a fun January. Here are some of the fun things we have done!

Grandma and Grandpa had come to town for the parade and they stayed for a couple of days. Gavin had a lot of fun while they were here.

Grandpa and him became really good buddies!
Gavin loves these yellow "wet floor" signs. It was raining quite a bit and so they were everywhere. Whenever we saw one Gavin had to go and play with it.
While my mom was here we went down to the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. We happened to go on the day of the Farmers Market.

Gavin's favorite part were all the dogs that were there and the pigeons walking around the streets. He would chase them everywhere!
It was a lot of fun and the view was gorgeous!!
We had a lot of fun with Grandma and we hope she comes back soon!! (This picture was taken outside Cafe Rio in Long Beach. YUM!)
With all of the beautiful weather we have been having we have spent a lot of time at the park. Gavin absolutely loves the park.
He still hasn't quite figured out that you are supposed to go down the slides.

We finally got around to trying a new place that we saw. It is a little cafe that has homemade ice cream sandwiches. We were hoping they would compare to Diddy Riese, but unfortunately they don't. But they were still good and Gavin enjoyed his cookie.

While shopping at Santa Anita we couldn't resist taking Gavin on the Carousel. He loved it ... we think.


We have just had a lot of fun hanging out.
