Ayden and Gavin turned 5!

Ayden's Stats

Weight: 42.33 lbs (58%)

Height: 44.49 in. (76%)

HC: 15.0 (37%)

Ayden is a funny kid! He loves to laugh, but he definitely thinks if he puts on the tears and cries real hard he can get his way, and he doesn't, so I am hoping this is something that they just grow out of!! He is very active, doesn't like slow moving activities unless you are by his side the entire time helping him, other wise he gets antsy and wants to move on. He loves it when he gets to go any where even if it is just the craft store! He likes the one on one attention, which I don't blame him! He loves it when his siblings play with him, enjoys playing with others more than on his own.  He is pretty easy going ( sometimes he takes a little talking in to) about what he is doing as long as he has a friend by his side (I think it's a twin thing)! He learned how to ride his bike without training wheels this summer and is a stud on his Razor scooter! He loves watching anything that has to do with construction trucks, he is just amazed by it! He is still a growing boy who LOVES food or maybe just wants snacks all the time!! He has a big smile and a contagious laugh! He is very protective of his siblings and loves to introduce them to others. We love him very much and our family woulnd't be the same with out him!

 

Gavin's Stats

Weight: 39.46lbs (38%)

Height: 44.09 in. (70%)

HC: 14.3 (13%)

Gavin is a gamer! I don't know what else to say, he loves his game boy, his x-box, and his Vreader he recently got for Christmas! We were hoping that would be more educational for him! He has really gotten into Ninja Turtles this year and and a few very sad meltdowns because he wanted them so bad at the store and I didn't get them, but we were saving that for Christmas! We had  very happy boy Christmas morning with lots of  hugs to give out! He and Ayden wrestle ALL day long! if we are the store they are wrestling in the isles while they are walking.  Gavin is a big teaser and thinks he is so funny and gets everyone all wile,  I don't think its so funny all the time!! He is a snuggler and loves to be right by us. He does a good job of playing "big brother" and taking care of Carter! He also loves his siblings and also loves when they play with him because, like Ayden, he does not like to do things on his own! We love him and we are grateful for his sweet little spirit.

Preschool 2012-2013

 Ava started 3 year old preschool and Ayden and Gavin started 4 year old preschool. They miss the deadline barely for kindergarten, but I think it is good for them and gives them one more year to grow up a little more!Ava goes Mondays and Wednesday and The Boys go Tuesday and Thursday!  I watch their teachers little girl that is in Ava's class when the boys are at school and Ava loves having another girl over to play!
We have had a busy year this year with preschool and then Ava haing Dance M/W in the evenings and Ayden and Gavin have had swimming lessons T/TH in the evenings. Most of the time Jordan isn't home in time to get the other kids so we ALL go! We are looking forward to a more laid back summer!

Lagoon -Sept.

My husband the penny pincher, didn't want to go because, well one good reason is are kids are scared of anything new and different, with the exception of Ava and he didn't want to spend the money if our kids weren't going to go on any rides. But hey, you never know until you try! Luckily my brother talked him into it and it was really alot of fun! I don't know if Easton wasn't feeling well or what, but he didn't want to go on anything! We have learned that Ava and Ayden are our little dare devils!! Gavin went on most of them but always hesitant when it was his first time, and he knows his limits and knows the ones that look to fast, even if we forced him on it, I know he would still hate it, so it was a good thing there were a lot of kid rides there, it surely kept them busy! I am learning too that It is more fun for me to watch my kids have fun than it is for me to go them, I guess that is what come with growing up! =)
