Snowman

Daddy and Gavin have had lots of fun this winter! Here is some fun they had a few weeks ago! Yes, the snowman is still there! Gavin loves to look out the window at it!

Even snowmen get kisses!

Pumpkin Patch

Monday was a beautiful day off from work and what better time to go to the pumpkin patch! So the Hengelfelts and Daddy, Mommy and Gavin went to Vala's Pumpkin Patch! We had so much fun! Gavin and Avery both were little angels! They were so happy and loved seeing all the sights! We saw animals (the annoying goose or duck, whatever it was it was loud, goats, chickens, ponies, fish, etc), went down slides, went on a hay rack ride to pick out our pumpkins, ate a caramel apple, road the train)! On our way into the patch, the woman taking our tickets said to us with Gavin and Avery in their strollers, "Good luck! They're not going to have any fun!" Wow we thought! What a happy lady she was! She was dead serious too! I wanted to go tell her how much fun we all had when we left, but didn't!

Weddings

Well, I think our summer of weddings is over! We had our last one yesterday! Jesse's cousin Tami got married and had it at the Champions Club which brought back great memories from our wedding! The wedding and reception were wonderful! Gavin had so much fun dancing! It was so cute watching him! We even requested one of his favorite songs by Sugarland "Stuck Like Glue" since they didn't have Jared Niemann "Lover, Lover". He danced and danced his little heart out!

Gavin's First Haircut

Gavin got his first haircut on Monday by Papa Dennis of course! He was not such a good client for Papa but we got it done! He was happy afterwards to get a sucker, of course! He looks like such a big boy now! Makes me so sad to cut his curls off! But of course, we saved them!

Time flies and Gavin is 18 months already

I can't believe it, but Gavin is already 18 months! Time sure flies! Everyday he is learning something new. He is talking more and more everyday. New words and short sentences this week! Today, we were visiting Jesse at the fire station and Gavin was sitting in the driver's seat of the fire truck and said, "we go for ride". It was so cute! Gavin recently got his first firetruck or should I say fire engine ride during Jesse's last set! Even I got to go too, just around the block! But Gavin sure thought it was fun! We had to break it to him today that we couldn't go, that it was a one of a kind deal!

Lincoln Children's Museum with Daddy and Friends

Gavin went to the Lincoln Children's Museum for the first time with The Hengelfelts including his friend Avery while Mommy had to work! Boo for work! But someone has to! :) Gavin had a great time according to Daddy but did not sit well for pictures! There were so many things to look at that he just wanted to go go go!!
Gavin has taken a love to country music! He loves to watch country music videos on CMT especially those of Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, etc. A common theme....blondes! :) He has a few favorite songs that if we hear them, he is saying "more, more" after they are done! Lover, Lover and Little White Church are a couple favorites! He will even dance while listening to them! So cute!

10 year high school reunion

Well, it's been 10 years since we both graduated from high school. We had my (Charissa's) reunion this past weekend! It was fun to catch up with old friends that I never see and hang out with the locals that I always see! :) Gavin enjoyed a slumber party with his cousins Andre and Levi.

Before the reunion, we went to Columbus for Scout's 1st birthday party! (Jesse's cousin Jenny's little girl) He had lots of fun in the short time playing outside!

As we were driving home, Gavin decided he wanted to play with my phone and got just enough saliva in it to ruin it! So, I got a new phone out of the deal! I got the HTC Hero! It's pretty fun to play with but much different than my Blackberry I'm use to! Thanks Gavin for letting Mommy upgrade her phone for a new high tech one!

Sunday, Gavin and I went to the firestation to visit Daddy! As always, he enjoyed his time in the fire truck! And pestering the other guys!

Here's Gavin sittin gin the fire engine!
