Gage's Silverado

I LOVE my Silverado!

I go out after my breakfast for a drive and again in the afternoon. I like driving all over the back yard checking things out. I drive over to my garden and water my peas and carrots, then I will drive over to the dirt pile to see if I can climb up it with my tuff truck. I also like to park and wave at the cars driving by. I like to try to get the big trucks to honk at me.

My birthday is in 6 days.....I am so excited!

Last night at 3am, when I was sleeping in my fort, my tummy was wiggling so I ran into mommy's room. I told here I didn't feel good. Mom held out her hands and I puked. We didn't sleep much after that becuase my tummy wouldn't stop. When Ava woke up she had gotten sick too. We had lots of laundry to do today and I missed nursery, that made me sad.

Ava 11 Months

I am now all over the place exploring my world!

Here I am squishing up my food.

I can go up the stairs rather quickly. Gage keeps a good eye on me and yells for Mom when I start climbing.

I think I can go down the stairs head first. But mom always stops me.

I can get my own dishes out when I am hungry.

And throw away my garbage or look for interesting things to put in my mouth.

And here I am climbing out of my chair onto the table. Now I get strapped in...I don't like to be restrained.

I also have my two front teeth coming in and the two next to that are poping up too. I also started drinking milk...yummy. My favorite is chocolate milk.

Driving Our Cars

Gage and I love playing on our cars. Gage will ride circles around me and push me. I like to look in my little "glove box" for surprises and shift the gears. I can push myself backwards. *Ava*

Tayiah's Birthday Party

Thanks for the super fun party Tayiah! She is 4 now. We had a Power Ranger cake and Fifi the Clown came! We all had to help with the magic tricks. We had so much fun. Even Kira Jo, Grandma and Grandpa came up to play.

Aprons

Here is my latest project... Aprons. I made the 1/2 apron and bandanna for Kira's birthday in January and the full apron is for Tayiah's birthday this weekend. Although I am having a hard time giving it up because it turned out so cute. I pieced together different fabrics and I think it turned out so cute! Don't I have the cutest model?

Gage & Ava Train

These were too cute not to share. Ava loves to play with Gage and she fits perfectly in the dump truck. First Gage was pushing here around then he got Cool Car and we tied them together so he could pull her.

Gage's Days

I sure am happy being a little boy. I got to climb inside an ambulance, that was so cool. I even got to try out the stretcher like Lancy-boy did.

It gets so windy at my house. I climbed on the table and did some wind surfing. If I don't keep things picked up outside, they blow away. We get the kite out alot.
My favorite place to sleep is in my fort. I get Silky and Blue blankie and crawl in for a good night's sleep. I am so lucky!
I can't wait for my birthday! The official day is May 31, 2005. I will be 3 this year. I have to ask Mom everyday if it is my birthday because I can't remember.

My new friend is Kaycee Gibson. He is my neighbor. I get so excited when Kaycee asks if I can play. When mom gives me the ok, I go running off down the road as fast as I can. Mom thinks it is all too cute and that I must be growing up. We jump on the trampoline and play monster trucks in the mud. Today Kaycee came to my house to play. We played hide and seek and he gave me pony rides on his back. We did get a little rowdy. Sometimes I tell my mom No and get a little disobedient when Jackson comes over. I think Jackson thinks I am cooler when I am bad.

Ava the Piano Player

Ava loves to play the piano. When I am giving lessons she likes to add high notes. She also likes to compose. She is always happy to play. When I am playing she insists to sit on my lap. Doesn't she have great technique?
