Gavin's 1st Birthday!

For Gavin's 1st birthday, we went to the park as a family- My mom was in town visiting from Kansas, so it was fun to have her with us- Gavin loves to be outside and play so that's what we did! After playing and taking some pictures, we went to dinner at Zupas- sooo good! Then we headed home and had cake- Janell and her family, and Grandpa & Grandma Mitchell were there to celebrate with us- I attempted to make his birthday cake and it actually turned out kind of cute...toot, toot! He had so much fun digging into his cake and eating it- my boy has a big appetite! He made quite the mess, but it was so much fun watching him go at it! Needless to say, after cake...he got a bath- After he was all squeaky clean, we opened presents- He played with the wrapping paper, while his sisters and cousins played with the toys- love it! After playing for bit, it was time for bed- We snuggled for awhile until he fell asleep- Love snuggles! Hopefully he had a fun 1st birthday!- I can't believe my baby is one! I seriously love my little man!

love, love the swings!
I think Gavin looks like his daddy...so handsome!

Happy Birthday Gavin

On Sunday, we all headed up to my Dad's to celebrate Gavin's birthday with my family- My sister and her family were in town, and my brother and his family came down from Logan to celebrate with us- My stepmom, Susan, was so sweet and made a huge taco salad bar, Cafe Rio style, for dinner- Then we had cake and ice cream, and opened a few presents- Afterwards, we all headed outside to hang out, play, and take a few pictures-

My baby boy turned 1 on July 25th!

I can't believe my little man is getting sooo big! It's kind of sad watching your baby become a toddler, but it is also so fun to watch them change, learn, and grow- He is such a cute, funny, sweet little guy and we all love him like crazy- He has such a cute personality and he loves when you laugh...and I love to hear his little contagious laugh- His sisters can really get him going- He loves to entertain and for people to clap at the funny things he does- He is so fun to watch and play with- Gavin loves to play ball, and actually has a pretty good throw going- He likes toy cars, his tool set, riding and pushing his "Winnie the Pooh" car, being read to, and being outside- He loves bath time and splashing at the pool- He has mastered walking and he likes to feed himself- such a big boy! He loves to explore and is such a curious little Jorje! We definitely have to keep a close eye on him- Gavin has been such a blessing to our family and we all love him so much-

Happy 1st Birthday!
