I blame facebook. Who blogs anymore when there is facebook to keep updated on. But I like reading everyone else's blogs and this is my little way of journaling to remember what these boys are doing. Gavin's latest thing is to try walking. He's taking a couple of steps here and there. And then he gets so excited he falls down. He does ok if he forgets what he's doing. He'll just let go, take a couple steps, and then giggle and fall. I'm only ready for him to walk because it's so nice outside and we are out a lot and it's better than crawling. I'm hoping if he's walking he won't notice all the stuff to stick in his mouth on the ground. Everything goes in his mouth. He has two little teeth on the bottom and that's it for now. But he is still teething constantly it seems. And I can't believe he is 10 months old already. Two more months and he'll be a year old. That just seems unreal. It's been almost a whole year. Time sure flies when you have kids. They grow up way to fast.
I've done a lot of work outside and I'm hoping to get our garden in today. My Dad and I put patio stones around my patio to make it bigger. My brother dug up my garden for me (although it needs it again). Tristan and I planted flowers in front of our house and we actually have little sprouts! I don't have the greenest thumb. It's more of a blackish thumb. So anything that grows is exciting.
We took a trip to El Paso for Easter to see Doug. El Paso is big, brown, just looks like it will be hot. But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The little mountains are pretty. And the mountains are pretty close. We went to Ruidoso, New Mexico for the weekend and it was a very nice town. They even have snow skiing there. I've never been skiing, so maybe I'll finally get to try. I'm sure we will spend some time there. It will definitely take some time to find my way around there. I'm so not a city girl.
