Summer is on it's way. This past weekend the three of us packed and loaded up the camper then headed to the lake for some family camping... the weekend didn't go exactly as hoped but we will try again this weekend. I was trying to make sure that I remembered everything for Gavin, sippy cups, food, diapers, tons of clothes to prepare for hot and cold, pack & play, blankets and so on that I completely forgot the camera. Maybe I will do a better job in remembering it tomorrow night so hopefully I will have some to share. Not much new going on in our house. Gavin is just growing like a weed, he loves to read his books and if he is walking around looking like he needs something to do I'll remind him to read a book and he'll do just that. We put up his swing around back so almost every night he gets to swing and just hang out outside, which is his favorite thing to do. He also decided that temper tantrums would be fun to try and they were bad for a while but have gotten better, sort of. Most the time he is upset because I take him away from something he isn't supposed to be doing and he will flop on his butt and cry. I have learned to just let him be and that too will pass. Boys are so much fun while trying at the same time... ha. Here are just a few pictures from the past week.

he loves brushing his teeth... still needs help from mom though

this is the scene every night

Yes... he is trying to eat the water
