My Little Man's 4!

After weeks of taking off a chain day by day the big day arrived and I don't know who was more excited, Me, Gavin or Owen.
Ok, well, it was Gavin but we all had a great day partying. Thanks to all of our neighborhood friends, Gavin had a blast a kangaroo zoo jumping and sliding for over two hours.
Through out the day he had many friends and family stop by and wish him a happy birthday. We are so lucky to live in a place where we have so many good friends just right across the street or down the road. Many of my friends have offered me so much help as I near the birth of this baby and seem to understand what I am going through. I really appreciate that, I feel so blessed and loved! Anyways back to Gavin.
For his Birthday Dinner he choose Carl's Junior. High class, I know, but the real purpose behind that was the play area. He really enjoys those now and he even helped his brother manuver his way through to the slides. He used to be deathly afraid of any resturant play area and now he is helping his brother down the slide, as he trys to convince him, "It's not scary come on Owen." Then we had to hustle home for the "cake" and icecram and present with all his family of course. He is not a big cake fan, but he loves doughnuts. So I ordered rainbow striped doughnut(he is obsessed with ROY G BIV, and the lady at the bakery got it just right) and I made it in to a cake tower. It was pretty sweet and who wouldn't love a doughnut. It was so yummy! He got everything he was hoping for and even more. We love this kid and hope he doesn't grow up to fast.

More Picture to come my computer won't let me upload all the cute photos tonight.

"I won't go into Labor"

So,
On Labor Day we/I decided that we should go to Seven Peaks. It was the last day that it was open. Turns out that it was only going to get up into the 70's but I had all these memories planned out in my head already. Well it was so cold in the water and especially out. Gavin tried to be a good sport and got in more than the rest of us. We finally got up the courage to go ride a tube ride. Gavin cried the whole time we were in line and Owen was oblivious to what would happen. Jason finally got Gavin to ride down with him.(Which he told me was so fun, and I asked if he wanted to go again and he said, "No!") And the lifeguard then turns to me and asks me if I am pregnant. I was like, "well yes I am." Then he tells me I can't take Owen and go. I had to beg him to let me. I got everyone in line to help convince him to let me go. I told him I was due any day and if it sent me into labor it wouldn't be a big deal. I even tried to backtrack and say that I was really just fat. I assured him that a little tube run was not going to send me into labor. He finally caved and let me go. Owen gripped onto me so tight but he seemed to like it. It was all worth it to get my way and have a crowd cheer for the big preggo. I felt like a rock star. Turns out I didn't go into labor on labor day after all.
