Sick boy./

This is Tylar and Christian not feeling so good.

Gavin was also not feel in good. It was just his ears. they are all doing good now. Sorry we have not been on, but now that all is good we will be.

Lets go to "flipping" class

This was there first time at gymnastics and did a great job.

4 Months and ready to eat house and home

First time eating. Carrots first, they were OK but he has had sweet potatoes, squash, and green beans. Sweet potatoes are his favorite, we shall see if that stays true once he gets to try fruit.

Look at the new firefighters in our home.

Christian is on the left, Tylar is on the right. They are ready to drive the fire trucks and blow the horns. Well that is what Tylar told us anyway.

Christmas Day!

These are just a few pictures to get a taste of our morning. We have more but we picked the best for you guys. We have some from the evening but nothing says Merry Christmas like kids first thing in the morning.
This is the boys saying Merry Christmas to each other. On Gavin's first Christmas morning.
SANTA came! He didn't finish his cookies...so we did. Dad read us the story of Jesus' birth.
Grandpa helped Gavin with his stocking, or is that Santa helping him?
OH WOW! We got everything we asked for.

They all had a very good time, but I tell you what as a parent Christmas can be very draining. I think we need to rest all year long like Santa gets too. The excitement kids get makes every moment worth it. Merry Christmas everyone. We miss you all and send our love this holiday season.

Before Christmas day

This is a mix of pictures leading up to the BIG day!

Our first Picture with Santa. Yep they did it and they are the ones who wanted to go tell him what they wanted. This was awsome because they let Dad come up and take the picture, we didn't have to buy it.

Our TREE! They were so proud, they got to help pick it out, put on the lights, and put the ornaments on. Tylar is on the right, Christian is on the left.

Here are all three at Nanny's (Nora) house.

Grandma and Gavin on Christmas Eve.

Christian's newest foot wear

I guess Christian wanted to be one up on his parents at an early age. He is the first and hopefully the last in our family to have a broken bone. He was playing at McDonald's when the bridge jumped up and got him. OK so he slipped and got his foot stuck. We had an eventful Thanksgiving week...weekend.

This was Wednesday after our first visit to the ER. He has a nice hard splint on it.

This is Thanksgiving Day no more hard splint. Yep we had to go back and this is what the ER gave him this time. Nope not done yet!

Monday came along, a trip to the Orthopedic surgeon and yet a third type of new "boot". He is now in a "soccer ball" cast for at least 3 weeks.

More Pixs and updates to come...Hopefully this weekend.

We have a new digital camera

Thank you

Thanks to Kirk and Susan we now have a new camera. So we will have more picks soon.
This is Gavin looking for daddyA not so happy Gavin A happy boy.
I am done playing, I will have more soon. We love you all.

Newest Pictures

Hey just wanted to put some new pics on here and to update on the whole family.
Travis is waiting for the test on Sat. November 11 for Kettering's Fire department. He is also studying hard for this Quarter of Medic school. He says to please pray for him, both for the test and for this quarter. He doesn't like to say it but he is nervous about passing this quarter.
Elsie is working hard on everything like always. Between home, kids, cleaning houses, and ... and ... and. I think that may be everything she is up to.
Gavin has a cold or something. He isn't keeping much down. So we are having fun with that. He did have his 2 month check up, he is 50% in weight and 60% for height. He was 11 lbs 13.5 oz and was 23 inches long. He is a smile bug, even when he is sick.
The other two are continuing to show their own personalities. They look so much alike but act very little like each other. They both are showing their tempers, but calm down very quickly when they realize no one what to see or here it. The testing of Mommy and Daddy is a daily thing. Grandma and Grandpa(Alan and Lisa) had there first few hours with not only our three kids but the three girls too. Yes all six grandkids stayed with Grandma and Grandpa.
Christian is the big brother that like to help all the time...ALL the time. Even when helping is in the way. But he tries when he can. He even tries to calm Gavin down when he is crying. He decided Gavin was hungry when Elsie was down doing laundry, and tried to give him a bottle of water.
Tylar is the never ending love bug. He always wants to hug and kiss his baby brother. Where's my baby? That is the first question out of his mouth if he does not see Gavin with in 2 seconds. If someone else has "HIS BABY" then he is right there making sure they know who Gavin is and that he is HIS BABY.

A new post

Hi sorry it has been so long. I now know how to do it, so we will have more. The boys are doing good. Travis is busy with school and his jod at home Depot. He is trying to get a job with the Kettering Fire Department. His test is Nov,11th. Gavin will be blessed on Nov, 26. We would like to see you all there if you can make it. So all is good with us. The boy's have a Dr. appointment on Nov,03 so I will put more on then.

GAVIN HAS ARRIVED!!!

You can kinda see her belly. She sure was big...not as big as she was with the boys but she still is big. I will give you a quick update then show you some pics. Everyone is doing great. I have my first final in Paramedic class, one quarter down 3 to go. The boys are getting too big too fast. They are doing pretty good at the potty thing, but not done with the dipers just yet. Now for Gavin... He was born Aug. 31 2006 at 10:41 AM. He was 7 pounds and 20.5 inches long. You want the story...no well fine I will give you the short version. Elsie woke me up at 12:45 AM, Mom came over to keep an eye on the boys. 3 AM they said yep we are keeping you. 7 AM they broke her water. 9:20 AM Elsie started pushing. 10:41 AM Gavin was here. I got to deliver him, the Dr. assisted me with the shoulders and talked me through the rest of it. Mom was in the room with us, her first time and she helped Elsie a lot. Elsie did great. I know you just want to see him right.

The boys stayed at Aunt Angela's and had a blast.

If only they knew what was going on else where...

proud Daddy and Grandpa

bath time, I think I got the only time he really cried
