Our Lizard Family

We have recently realized that we have a Skink (Lizard) family living in our back yard somewhere. Yesterday I looked out the window only to see this out on our rocks!!

We didn't seem to startle them so Gavin and I went outside to get a closer look!

They actually let us get pretty close!! Gavin thought it was pretty cool too! He didn't try to touch them or anything so that was good.

Right after this picture they got startled and ran away! These little guys are super fast too! I don't think we could catch one if we tried!! Gavin was sad that they went away....he wanted to keep looking for them.

a day at the beach

Cory had Friday off....so we decided to make the hour and a half drive down to Panama City Beach! We had a lot of fun jumping around in the waves and basking in the sun. Gavin loved chasing the seaguls around and digging in the sand. He wouldn't get down when we were standing in the waves...but I held him and we got hit quite a bit with big waves! Here are some pictures from our day at the beach!

After we got home we were pretty tired from being in the sun all day! We all showered and bathed and ate some BBQ from Larry's then just relaxed on the couch!

Whew!

Sorry for the delay in blogging. I have been a little busy. But things should slow down now for a little while.
Today I babysat a little girl that is about 9 months old. She was here bright and early at 6am because her Mom and Dad had a motorcycle safety class. I was a bit worried about how Gavin would react, but he was awesome! He made me laugh because he was so sweet with her. He kept giving her his toys and saying "Hi there" to her! She was a very sweet baby, we had a lot of fun with her!!
On to my next story....so whenever we are outside as a family and Kirby (our dog) goes potty, Gavin always says "Kirby poops." We always have to say "No, Gavin he's going potty." ....everytime! :0) So tonight we were all outside enjoying the weather for a bit and all the sudden Gavin stands there and lifts one leg. Cory and I were like..."Gavin what are you doing?" and he says so matter-of-factly (not sure how to spell that...) "I poop." This kid never ceases to amaze us! He always is coming up with something crazy to say!!!
After we came inside he found his hat from Mama and Bapa (from Panama City Beach)....he hasn't wanted anything to do with it...until tonight. He wanted to wear it all around. He looks adorable in it, by the way, so I was taking his picture. He was so funny, he kept wanting me to take his picture....which he never wants me to do.....so here are some pictures from our little photo shoot tonight! By the way, Gavin said what he wanted me to take the picture of in all of these pictures.....he's so hilarious!

I couldn't resist putting this next picture in here. It was taken a couple of days ago. Cory decided that Kirby needed to try on his helmet! HILARIOUS!! So I just had to take a picture!!
