We had a WHITE Christmas this year!!

We also had a very long 13 hour drive just to make it for Christmas Eve dinner :)

Santa came to visit Gavin for his FIRST Christmas :)

Christmas morning opening presents...

Gavin had a blast opening his toys!

Hayden had so much fun playing with his little brother!

Gavin and Crew playing with the barn yard.

Jenni & Hayden..."SMILE"

We had the best Christmas ever!!!

Mini-Mike

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE his smile!!!

Happy December 1st :)

Gavin and his ducks!

I have NO IDEA why I felt like posting this picture...but I did :)
Gavin's feet are already 1/2 my size!

Happy Birthday Mike!!

Today was Mike's birthday so we celebrated by eating out at the Cheesecake Factory :)

Gavin's first tooth is about to break through so I'm not able to get many pictures of him without his fingers in mouth.

I know it was ghetto but I lit the only candle we had in the house and sang happy birthday :)

Happy Birthday babe! I hope all your wishes come true!!!

$1.99!!!!!

Just wanted everyone to know how happy I was this morning when I put gas in our little "verf" for only $1.99!!!!! I couldn't believe it :)

Happy 6th Month Birthday!

For Gavin's 6th month birthday Mike bought him his very first drum set :) He smacks them with his hands then starts laughing...what a funny little guy! It's been the BEST six months of my life!!!

WHAT'S UP!

Today Crew came over to visit Gavin and they were too funny together! Crew was putting Gavins feet in his mouth. Gavin was grabbing Crews binky and trying to take off Crews shoes. Crew was talking and grabbing Gavins face, etc, etc. I think they will always have fun together because even at 6 months they both smile and love being around each other!

Fun Free Family Friday!!!

Every once in a while I get some movie tickets from my work and so on Friday

Mike and I took Gavin to see Madagascar 2. It was so good!!

My work also gave each employee two tickets for zoo lights at the Phoenix zoo. So, Darcel, Bob, Krystal, Kory, Sheena, Teslin, Julie, Crew, Mike, Gavin and I all went to see the zoo lights...for free :) !!

Gavin playing with his lights

I think it's funny that Krystal says she doesn't like kids and wouldn't know what to do with them, yet Teslin and Gavin LOVE her and do nothing but laugh and play with her when she is around!

Gavin and mom all ready for bed after a very fun day! Gavin loved his new

giraffe (aka Melman) and wouldn't put it down.

Happy Halloween!

Gavin's first Halloween! 2008

I have NO IDEA what that face is, but I just thought it was a cute picture of him sitting by the pumpkins :)

Trick-or-treating at Nikole's house...

Just like his mom...eating candy!

and more candy...

Mike, Gavin and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave us his Halloween stuff! Kari gave him his Superman costume. Julie, Sheldon and Crew gave him his pumpkin onesie. Laura and Brian gave him this outfit and socks and a few bibs. Nikole and Ryan bought him his "baby's first Halloween" bib . Liz bought him a movie. He used everything and we are so thankful for such great friends and family!!! Thank you all very much for making this Halloween a memorable one for the Rich family :)

Our Crazy Boys

Last night Gavin pushed himself all the way across the living room to reach for the puppies. He is seriously fascinated by them :) Buddy and Maggie LOVE the attention they get from Gavin! Jace has been his little watch dog since the day we came home from the hospital. The second Gavin does anything Jace is right there making sure Mike or I know Gavin needs something.

Hayden...what a little character!!! Mike told me that when Hayden went to the doctors for his yearly check up the doctor asked Hayden if he could stand on one foot. Hayden said "yep" and walked over to the doctor and stood on the doctors foot :)
