Fun Time Finally

Ever since Jeremy got his boat, he has been dying to take it out. But we have either been too busy or just bad weather. Well Sunday was beautiful, 77 degrees and not a cloud in the sky, so after church we packed up and headed to the lake. Gavin was so excited, Jeremy couldn't stop smiling, and I was just praying that we could unload and load the boat safely. Anyone that has a boat or has been on a boat knows what I am talking about. We did really good, we did it safely and no yelling at each other. Once we got on the water, we had an amazing time. Gavin loved to walk around the boat and just watch the water go by. I can't wait until summer comes back around so we can enjoy it more.

Trick or Treating

Gavin is the cutest fisherman I have ever laid my eyes on. I know, it's kind of a random costume but I wanted him to be completely different from everyone. I had to change some things around when the costume came in, because it was very cheaply made. But as you can see the changes turned out great.

He had the best time that entire day. Before we went trick or treating we had some friends invite us over for a hay ride and Gavin loved it, so much that he rode twice. And these were not short rides they lasted about 15 minutes, but he enjoyed every minute and that's all that mattered.

Then it started to get a little dusky which meant it was time. Time to go TRICK OR TREATING or "TREAT" as Gavin said. We were in Kinston this weekend so we went "treating" with Logan, Gavin's cousin. We started off walking to a few houses but with Gavin's pace we would have been out there until midnight. So Aunt Christie and GiGi got the truck and off we went. We were then able to cover a lot of ground, in fact I think we went to about 30 houses. WOW, right!

But Gavin found out real quick that he had to say trick or treat, which he shorted to "treat" and that he needed his bucket. So every time we got to the next house he would ask for his bucket, we would walk up to the house and he would knock on the door, regardless of whether or not they were outside already. And it took him a couple of houses to realize that we didn't go into their house when they opened the door. Too funny! By the end of the night we were all exhausted and it was only 8 o'clock.

My Handy-Man

Gavin has turned into such a little handy man. The knob came off GiGi's end table and Gavin got the screw driver and did his best to put it back on. He's a little independent so he wanted to do it his self but after 30 minutes of trying he finally gave up and asked for help.

Sweet Potato Festival

GiGi and I took Gavin to the Sweet Potato Festival in Snow Hill Saturday morning. It was a little rainy but we made a morning out of it. Gavin loves the blow up slides and jumpee things and it took everything we had to get him away from these things. But we found a booth that had freshly cooked sweet potato fries, man they were so good and Gavin thought so too! We also found some sweet potatoes that had faces painted on them and could not pass up a picture opt.

I finally caved in!

For the 9 years that I have known my husband, he has wanted to get a boat. Well, I finally caved in and we got a boat. I think Gavin pushed me over the edge because everytime we passed a boat on the road or one came across the TV, all I heard was "momma boat, boat momma"! I think Jeremy had a little bit to do with that, he kows that I can not tell Gavin no.

Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we took Gavin to the pumpkin patch in High Point. They have a huge corn maize, cow train rides and even "Spooky Woods" at night. (Which we did not attend) This place is amazing, so amazing that their "Spooky Woods" is rated in the top 10 in the US. But anyway Gavin had a blast picking out his pumpkin and riding the cow train. We thought maybe he would ride by his self and he did make it around a couple of laps but after that he wanted daddy to ride with him. So Jeremy being that awesome father that he is jumped in the cow with him. To funny and yes I got pictures!

2 men and a 2 year old

I thought this was the cutest picture when I saw it. Jeremy's uncle Pat was taking some pictures for me and when he showed me this one, I just laughed! So the story goes, Gavin opened his musical sit and spin and just had to have it put together. Well as you can see it took 2 men to put it together and a 2 year old to read them the directions.
