New pics

I took some pictures of Abbey and Gavin today as they matched a little and looked really cute. It is very difficult to get them both to look at the camera at the same time and smile at the same time and long enough for me to get the picture. I think they turned out cute, but I may be a little biased:)

Abbey and Gavin in the sandbox again:)

Gavin having fun with the big bear.

Gavin looking at his new book

Paige and Abbey got Gator Golf

Gavin opening his Christmas present from Rick and Christy. We never got together with the Heyboer side of the family so Grandma Heyboer came over this past Wednesday along with Mom, Jenny, Paige and Jaydin. Gavin got a dump truck and 3 books.

Abbey and Gavin first thing in the morning.

Gavin looking at his new book that he got from Dr. Morley at his 9 month checkup.

I took some new pictures of Gavin this week. So here he is at nine months old.

Gavin tried to climb under his rocking chair and got stuck-he wasn't too happy to begin with and then got even more mad that I took pictures of him first instead of getting him out:)

Gavin chillin' in the backyard after sitting in the pool for a little while.

Abbey chillin' in her suit on the top of the sandbox. Matt built a cover for the sandbox as we have neighborhood wandering cats that would probably use it for a litter box if we didn't cover it up.

Gavin using the walker for the first time-he didn't do so well on the hardwood floor

Gavin with his head in the shelf again-it seems to be his favorite thing to do. He will put toys up on the shelf and then bang them around in there.

Gavin used Abbey to stand up-needless to say, Abbey was none to happy about it

Gavin with a Bud Light:)

Gavin finally figured out how to pull himself up in his crib. For a while he wasn't able to do it because his arms weren't long enough to reach the top and he couldn't figure out that he just had to use the posts to get to the top.

Abbey helping Gavin stand up

Gavin in just his diaper standing up

Abbey doing her best pouty face

Abbey and Gavin in the sandbox that Matt built for the kids in the yard next to the house.

Abbey loves riding in the wagon

Gavin's first wagon ride ever

Abbey and Gavin in the wagon for the first time this year.

So Matt and I both have been laid off from work so we have been busy trying to stay busy:) We aren't doing too bad though. We had a yard sale this past week so that made the week very busy as we already had quite a bit going on but Matt insisted that we have it this past week instead of this week like I wanted so that I had more time. Oh well, it is done:)

Gavin is standing up by himself. He would get so excited that he would start waving his arms and fall over.

Abbey and Gavin both finally looking at the camera at the same time. It took about 6 tried before they both were looking.

Abbey and Gavin again

Abbey and Gavin hugging eachother.

Gavin climbed into the bottom of the shelf in the dining room this morning and was having a great time. He didn't like it too much when I pulled him out and blocked it off so he couldn't get back in there.

Gavin giving Abbey a nice kiss on the cheek.

Gavin trying to makeout with Abbey.

Gavin trying to climb on Abbey.

Gavin for church Sunday night for Jaydin's baptism. The hat didn't even make it out the door on his head as he figured out how to take it off.

Abbey for church Sunday night for Jaydin's baptism.

Abbey on Sunday morning for church. I curled her hair and it turned out really cute.

Abbey in her pool.

Abbey and Gavin in their pools(yes we have separate pools for the kids for a reason). Abbey's water was colder than Gavin's and she kept throwing water from her pool on Gavin and he would freak out because it was soo cold.

So Matt pulled out the kids pools on Friday to clean them out from being in the shed all fall and winter and Abbey freaked out that we weren't going to let her go in the pool and that Daddy was only cleaning them out. Needless to say, after dinner Matt put the kids in their pools after we spent a lot of time putting hot water in with the cold water so that they wouldn't freeze.

Gavin and all the toys

Gavin amongst all his toys and Abbey's clipos, which Abbey so nicely dumped out for him.

I cut Abbey's hair last week Tuesday as she twists her hair into knots and then pulls them out. So she had some really short pieces on the left side of her head and I evened the rest of her hair out and put layers in.

Abbey and Gavin were supposed to be looking at me but the TV was more interesting.

Abbey in whiny mode:) Couldn't resist taking a picture of her face

Abbey wanted to lay on the floor like Gavin because he had her book.

Flashback

Abbey isn't the slightest bit interested in Nikki(only the buttons on Leisha's bed)

Dwight holding Abbey and Nikki at the hospital the day Nikki joined the family of girls:)

Gavin showing his two front teeth:)

Abbey in the bath

Gavin in the bath

Abbey and Gavin in the bath again:)

Abbey giving Gavin a kiss

Gavin is starting to pull himself across the floor to get places or if he gets tired of that, he rolls where he wants to go.

I'm trying to get Gavin to drink his bottle by himself as he would rather us feed him. He did pretty good with holding the bottle while my scarf was under it.

Gavin trying to give Abbey a kiss

Abbey and Gavin on the couch

Gavin pulling his normal face. He constantly says OOOO.

Abbey wanted a picture because I was taking one of Gavin

Gavin was having a great time pulling on Abbey's dress. It didn't make her very happy though:)

Abbey and Gavin together on the couch right before putting Gavin in his carseat

Gavin in his Easter clothes. He looked really pretty as Abbey kept saying. She didn't quite understand that boys aren't pretty-they're handsome.

Here is Abbey Easter Sunday morning for church. She was really excited to be able to wear her pretty flowergirl dress again.

I put curlers in Abbey's hair for Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, they didn't last the whole night in her hair. She wouldn't go to sleep because she wasn't used to them and kept saying that her head hurt.

Gavin just being really happy-which is quite normal unlike his sister

Gavin riding on the little car that Abbey got for her first birthday from my parents.

Gavin on the zebra by himself :)

Abbey and Gavin on the Bounce and Spin Zebra. I put Gavin on and Abbey had to be on it too as it is hers and she didn't like that Gavin was on it.











Okay so we have the computer back now. We ended up with a virus on the computer and couldn't use it for a few days and then had to bring it away for a couple of days to get fixed. But we are back and working great now. Hopefully, it stays this way. (I won't get my hopes up)
