Gavin Turns ONE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAV!!
This is Gavin's shy look. He didn't appreciate everyone looking at him. He likes to hid behind his little arms! It is adorable!!

He needed some liquid so he could keep going on his own little cupcake. It took him a while to understand what he was supposed to do with his own cupcake but once he figured out is was actually OK for him to get messy, he was a pro at it!! This is what you get when you tell Gavin to "Give me kisses!" He loves to give us all loves!!!

Smashing that blue cupcake in his face!!! (Like I said, once he figured it out, he was a pro!)

Holding up our present to him. It looks like he is saying, "Hey, look what I got!!"

In his rocking chair made especially for him by Grandpa Gardner! It is so cute, I just might ask for a full-size one for me and Ry! (Just kidding!)

Gavin had such a fun birthday. We were so glad we were able to make it to see him turn ONE!! What a big boy he is becoming! We love you Gav!!!

How 'bout This!!

Sophomore Year Reunion

We had so much fun yesterday with these fun girls! My sophomore year at BYU was one of the best and it was definitely because of these fun girls (plus one who was too busy being pregnant in Ohio to make it... darn it BECCA!). We had the best apartment. It was on the ground level and the window from the living room opened up to the parking lot right outside and we had no screen so people would just knock on the window and jump through to come see us! (Sounds totally weird but when you're in college, it was great). We always had people at our apartment and one of our favorite things to do was to play nertz. It was this year that we would play at least once a week and we would have about 10 teams of people playing (that is 20 people total). It was the best and the games would go by so fast! I totally miss those days. Last night we had so much fun talking about old memories and just remembering fun times. We ate pizookie and played some good old nertz! It was so much fun. I hope we get to see these girls more often! Love them!

The delicious Pizookie!

Lauren is so darn funny, I just love her!

These girls are my favorite!

Apparently the front row only got the memo of making funny faces...

Love them... Brooke, Me, and Lauren enjoying the Pizookie
