Fun at the Circus

We went to the Circus on Monday and we had a blast!! We got to spend some time just with the boys and we were able to leave Emree with my parents. Rey got the boys so pumped up for it that when we got there, they just couldn't even hide how excited they were. We did face painting, pony rides , and bought them cotton candy and light up swords. They were in heaven, and we were too, watching the smiles on their faces. I love seeing my kids enjoy fun things and doing stuff they have never done before. It was pretty expensive and I'm not quite sure the show itself was worth the money, but the memories we made were priceless. Don't get me wrong, some of the performances were very impressive and I thought they were really good, but Rey was expecting a little more for the amount of money. The boys loved it and we had a GREAT time, so that was the best part of it all.

The boys were just so excited. I love how they're posing in this pic!

The pony rides were the first thing we did when we got there. Gavin did not like it at all at first.

Braxton LOVED it! cute boy.

Now, he was starting to kinda like it. Still not too sure about the idea.

Then at the end of the ride they posed for the camera.

Face painting was next...Gav choose to be a tiger.

Look at that sweet face. I love that boy, he held so still.

The end result...you cant tell in the pic but his nose had black glitter all over it and so did the stripes. They did a really good job.

B's turn now :)

He choose the clown. He was all into the clowns that night.

The cutest clown you will ever see!

Waiting for the show to start.

Rey took the boys inside the ring before the show began, and they let the kids do some fun things in the ring.

I wish Gavin would have had his eyes open...bummer.

Conversations with my 3 year old

Okay, so I had a few interesting/funny conversations today with Gavin and I just wanted to share. He's so cute and is getting so big so fast, where did my baby boy go? Gavin is one who keeps us laughing all the time, you never know what he's gonna say next. I think when hes older he's going to be the one who is the "class clown". He loves to have people laughing at the funny things he does and says. So here are a few conversations I had with him today...

1) Me: "Gavin do you have poop?" After I thought that I had caught a whiff of something nasty.

Gav: "Almost, I trying uh push it out...it's stuck" (Yes, I know my 3 year old should be potty trained...we're working on it though, its a slow process with this guy.)

2) Me: "Hey Buddy lets go outside and play"
Gav:"No mommy its too windy outside"

Me: "No its not dude, come on lets go play"

Gav:"Oh did uh wind go to sleep?" (uh is the word he uses in place of the words , the, to

and a)

Me: "Yup the wind went to sleep, now lets go"

Gav: "But uh huge bald eagle will get me" (I have NO idea where that came from)

Me: "No buddy there are no bald eagles outside, so come on!"

Gav: :"Okay." (So now we walk outside and he feels a gust of wind go by) "Mommy you woke up the wind"

3) Me: (A little later on, Gav had pooped yet again) "Gavin come here so I can change you...Buddy you stink, how come you have so much poop?"

Gav: "Mommy, its not poop.....Its Crap" (I laughed so hard at that one)

4) As we were driving home from Target, it was dark outside and Gav doesn't like the dark and the car made a weird noise....

Gav: "Mommy what was dat sound?"

Me: "I don't know, I think it was the car"

Gav: "No mom, it was a scary wood pecker"

5) Gav: "Mom I did two toots....like dis, beep beep." (I could tell he was very proud of the way it sounded...he is ALL boy)

Me: "Wow, good job buddy"

Oh how I love this sweet little boy. He really does keep us laughing and smiling with all of the off the wall things he says. He definitely has my heart and is one of the most loving, sweet little boys you will ever meet,

My Superman

This is My Superman!! Rey doesn't know that I am writing this post about him, because if he did...he wouldn't want me to do it and he would probably feel embarrassed. Like I have said before, I use this post as a journal for our family so I want to record some of the feelings I have been having over the last couple of days. As most of you know Rey and I were in a car accident on Sat. and we were very blessed that neither one of us were seriously injured. I was not wearing my seat belt (I know, I know...I have gotten many lectures and have learned my lesson) so I ended up with a concussion, a sprained neck, a broken thumb and index finger and a badly bruised knee. Nothing too serious, it could have been a lot worse, but I was blessed that my airbag deployed and protected me somewhat. Anyways, I wanted this post to be about my wonderful husband that I am so grateful for. He is my angel. The second he knew I got hurt he was right by my side the entire time, he never left me. He was so concerned about me and wanted me to be out of pain. These past couple of days since the accident Rey has had to do everything around here. Not once has he complained about anything. He's been changing all the diapers, taking care of all my needs, doing all of the bathing, taking care of all the insurance stuff, cleaning, playing with the kids, and remaining calm the entire time. Poor guy, these are supposed to be his days off and all they have been is nothing but work. I could have never asked for anyone better. Rey is my rock, and he is a wonderful husband and father. I don't know what I would do without him. Thanks baby for being my Superman, I love you!!

3 of our most favorite people in the WHOLE world!!

This was taken on Sunday. Rey had just gotton done wrestling with them and they all layed down by each other just long anough for me to snap this. We love them so much and are so grateful for what they each bring into our family.

(Like how Gavin spilled red juice on his white church shirt? Thats a 3 year old for ya)
