Transferring...

...that's what we're calling it. We're moving our entire household to the house next door. The house we currently reside in has decided it is worth more than we are willing to pay, so we're going someplace else. Lucky for us, the house next door is available and we are taking it. We're planning on "transferring" everything this week. Wish us luck!

Gavin's Baptism

We just got these pictures loaded, so I figured I would post them. Both sets of Gavin's grandparents, a great aunt and uncle and his Great Grandpa came out for his Baptism. It was a busy weekend, but so nice to see everyone.

The little dresser that could

Let me tell you a little story... 39 years ago my parents purchased some bedroom furniture that was intended to be a temporary set until they could get something nicer. They gave it an update and re-painted it sometime around 1990. It served as their bedroom set for 28 years. Clint and I received it when we were first married and painted it navy blue to go with our newly established home. 6 years later, we painted it white and added red knobs, got rid of the mirror and took off the little door to use for Gavin's room. It is a particle board dresser with no solid wood anywhere on it. Anyway, after about 15 Navy moves and 39 years, it has found a new home. (Thank you Craig's list) Someone else will enjoy this piece of history now. Amazing.

On Saturday, we had a chance to meet up with some of our friends from our time in San Diego. The best part of the evening? The GIANT booth we got to sit in. Clint and I were the designated wearers-of-color that night. I guess we missed the memo about wearing black.

When you are the mother to boys...

...you get gross things! Currently we have 2 frogs (Clint caught another one), a boatload of crickets for the frogs, 1 ant farm with a zillion ants, and a worm. I did, however, send the worm back outside to "play." It's gross and I just can't handle it. I figured we'd get a dog someday, but even that was a bit of a stretch. These little friends are just giving me the heebie-jeebies!

SNOW MUCH FUN!!

We just spent the weekend at Lake Tahoe and had the greatest time ever! We went sledding and had a great little cabin on the lake. The kids loved it! Clint definitely misses the snow.

Clint was trying to teach Cambria how to make a snow angel. She didn't quite get it.The guys dug out the most fabulous tunnel through the snow. The were outside for hours!
This was such a fun weekend, we will definitely be heading back next year!

Our braided girl

We braided Cambria's hair on Sunday just to see if it could be done. It turned out pretty cute! It only lasted for a few hours, but it was fun anyway!

Nana's Birthday

Erin and Cambria took Nana out for her birthday this morning. It was just the ladies, so fun!

Our Cub Scout

Gavin started Cub Scouts last week. He thinks it's "So awesome!"

More of the Gavster's birthday

Listen to his wish. He's 8 now...that's little kid stuff!

Aquarium

Clint took some nice pictures at the Aquarium today and since I will clearly never get around to scrapbooking them, I thought I would post them up here. Enjoy!

Amphibians gross me out!

During a rain storm this week, we heard some pretty loud croaking outside. Clint went to investigate and came in with a frog. Needless to say....ew! I (Erin) am, of course, the one who has had to house AND feed this little pet. Crickets and I just don't get along. Hopefully I don't kill it. I've had a bit of a bad run with frog-tending.

Gavin: 8 in '08

He was pretty excited to get the over-the-door Hot Wheels track for his birthday. Carson helped pick it out and Gavin was truly grateful. We can't believe we have an 8-year old!
