Gavin Clapping

Jason and I were singing with Dylan last night. Definitely not the Von Trapp's but Gavin must have liked it because he started to try and clap for us. I caught a video of it this morning when Dylan was singing "If you're hungry and you know it." I'm thinking he might need a little more practice before calling American Idol.

May Days

Grandpa Meeks came to visit for an extended weekend. The boys had a blast and mommy & daddy loved the extra few minutes of sleep in the morning since Grandpa got up with Dylan. Mommy even snuck away to the spa for awhile! Gavin perfected his crawling form while Grandpa was here. He may not be quick, but he doesn't do the leg drag Dylan did at this age.

Kudos to my wonderful husband for a great mothers day. He started it off with breakfast (omlette, berries, bacon, coffee) in bed and a sweet card complete with spa gift. Then off to church and lunch out afterwards. I got to go shopping at the mall all by myself and then Jason cooked a yummy dinner for his mother and me (mahi-mahi, coos-coos, spinach salad). What a great day to reflect on the joys of motherhood.

A couple attempts were made to go boating, but Dylan is still afraid of the engine noise. Daddy says he must have been born to be a sailor!

Dylan had a sleepover with his cousin Haley. We made homemade pizza and Daddy watched the kids while I went to a scrapbooking night at church.

The beginning of May was filled with trips to the park, before the daily thunderstorms made their appearance.

Yummy!

We had a great time on the west coast of Florida vacationing with Jason's extended family. The Gulf waters were calm and beautiful. We saw a manatee, dolphins, and many birds. Dylan loved swimming in the ocean and at the pool.
