grandma "gigi" turns 90

grandma donley turned 90 on march 20th so the kiddos and i packed up and drove to san diego to help her celebrate! we had such a great time with all of the family.

gavin and ryann both did a great job on the long roadtrip. they were happy, for the most part, and they did a great job keeping them selves intertained!

once in san diego we got to see aunt cheri, uncle jeff and drake along with all of the socies. we had a wonderful dinner to celebrate grandma's birthday and afterwards went back to the socie house for cake and presents. it was so wonderful to see everyone!

















we also got to spend some time with the hills. it was wonderful to see the girls and spend some quality time with them!

as all trips go, it went way to fast and we didn't get to see everyone we wished we could.

my rockstar babies...

so i've decided that both of my babies are going to be "rockstars" gavin loves music, especially playing it. his favorite is the electric guitar, although he does enjoy the drums, keyboard and accoustic guitar as well. making music seems to be his new passion as he does it all the time, 9 days out of 10 mommy is popping the excedrine but i am so happy that he is into something that he really enjoys!!

ryann on the other hand is just a diva!!! she is sassy and cute, the only two things she needs to be her own personal rockstar...when i found out i was having a girl i immediately bought her some vans along with a checkered skull bib. i was definatley having a tomboy. she has a very different idea of what she wants to be. she is a GIRLY-GIRL!!!!! she is into purses, sparkely shoes and dresses, everything has to be beautiful and she loves having her hair done...i'm in so much trouble. here is the proof!!!

gavin's 4!!!

gavin is 4 now! can you believe it, i have a 4 year old. it seems impossible to me! for gav's birthday we had a fire truck party. i made a fire truck cake, and we even went to the fire station to take a tour and play in the trucks. we had such a good time, it was everything we could have wanted for gavin and more. the smile on his face and the excitment in his voice was enough to melt me to mush! here are a few pictures from the big day!

Daddy Visit

the kids and i flew out here to orange county, california to spend some much needed time with daddy!!
so far we have had a blast! our first night here we went to sushi with ty, mike's friend and co-worker. dinner was a success. the food was wonderful, the sake and beer was even better, and the company was fun! yesterday we took the kids to disneyland.
gavin had the time of his life! he received a birthday button letting everyone in the park know it was his birthday. he grew very fond of being told happy birthday at every turn! we loved the park, both kids did fantastic and the park was not crowded making it easy to ride all of the rides! gavin's favorite was "the pirates of the caribbean" while ryann's was "it's a small world". gavin was even tall enough to go on his very first rollercoaster, big thunder mountain. it wasn't his favorite, but when he woke up this morning he asked if he could go on it again! it was everything mike and i had hoped for our little man!
