A day in the Life


"I work out"

"I like Pizza"
I'm feeling as if my life is very repetitive. Like that 'Groundhog Day' with Bill Murray, waking up and just repeating everything over and over again. I'm taking some time out of my repetitive schedule and writing it all down. Dumb? yes..... New? yes.

  • Wake up around 9...ish
  • Make Gavin breakfast.....ALWAYS oatmeal with a fruit
  • Go to the Park or Library
  • Go home, Lunch (Gavin eats all MY lunch) and some kind of art project (Mostly eating playdough)
  • Nap! (Me...shower)
  • Tim comes home, I go to the gym...and even though the house is SPOTLESS, Tim cleans.
  • Come home, Cook dinner
  • I hang out with Tim
  • Bed.
That's about it. Very uneventful.

Gavin's 2!

Gavin is a Big 2 Year Old!
How on earth did I make it to 2?! Not him, ME?! He is so funny, cute, and smart (of course, he's my kid!). Such a little boy with big personality! He loves other kids and adults. He enjoys eating play-dough and his favorite color, right now, is purple (go figure). I thinks it's because it's the only one he can identify for sure. He LOVES Dinosaurs, Buzz and Woody and playing outside. He's an amazing soccer star (in tim's mind) and thuper cute.

His Big 2 Year Old Stats:

Height: 34 In. (40%)
Weight: 27 lbs (40 %)
Noggin: 19 3/4 in (75 %)...it's the 'fro

He was so good at the doc. He got 2 shots plus another hemoglobin test because of his low iron issues. He still is low iron, but his doc says it's getting up there so hopefully he'll be good soon!

For his Happy Birthday party, we through him a big Dinosaur Party! He LUVS the dinosaurs! It turned out great considering we had to change EVERYTHING at the last minute. You see, NORMALLY, June is nice. However, his birthday was a big rainy mess and since we intended on having his party at a park, that didn't work out too great. Luckily, the Restaurant I Love, (Robert's) let us have his party in their back room! SWEET!

Gavin Just wants the Party to start.
We made these cute Dinosuar masks I got off of Oriental Trading


Played Crack the Egg
I made 3 huge paper mache eggs and filled them with candy. The kids went crazy...I'm glad I made 3!

Here's what they looked like when I made them. It looks like I'm trying to grow alien babies. (And you can also see the $15 stupid dino pinata I took back because it was dumb!)



Played Hot Lava Rock
Hot Potato....duh...

Played Dinosaur Stomp

Musical chairs with cut out super crafty (NOT) dino feet. It was funny to see the really little kids get into this one.Funniest thing ever. Gavin saw me take out one of the dinosaurs on his cake and lick the bottom so I could let him play with it. When I turned around he started dipping his dino in the cake and licking it. He did this for about 10 min. before anyone stopped him. He was a mess, but it was hilarious!

My sister Jess and friends Michelle and Michelle came and helped me out. They are my heros!

Oh, Grandpa, you'll be EXCITED when you see yourself posted all over the internet! MUAH AH AH!

Kudos, to my personal photographers, Brian and Sally! Thanks for taking so many great pictures so I could enjoy the party!

He got so many great, fun toys. He is so spoiled! Tim said that we should save half and wrap them up and give them to him for Christmas....Ugh....only a Fowler, right, Lacey?!

Memorial Weekend

Now that I'm done perusing EVERYONE ELSE'S BLOG, I guess I better update my own. Crap. Where to begin....

The latest pics I have are from Memorial Weekend: Joy rapture! We went up to Pocatello to visit Colton and Sarah with Brian and Sally. It was fun! Seriously, it's nice to get to hang out with friends and not have to worry about laundry, 'THE SINK' and other house stuff.

Kenna! The cutest baby in the world! (I can say that because I don't have a baby! HA!)
Kyla painting Gavin's nails with purple glitter nail polish.....don't let dad see that one!

Tim, Colton and Brian played videos games the ENTIRE weekend. That was their idea of a perfect vacation. My perfect vacation was there as well because Kyla (Colton and Sarah's oldest) and Gavin took care of themselves. They kept each other entertained for hours. I just had to make sure they were fed when they were hungry. Pretty sweet for me! Also, Sally and I just read (Sally much faster than I) the HOST! I finished it right after we got back and you have to know it's AWESOME! I'm even re-reading it!
Sunday night, we drove to Grace to Tim's Mom and Dad's. It was nice to stay there when not alot of people are there (doesn't happen normally). It was nice to hang out with them.

Also, a big milestone was hit for Gavin: NO MORE BINKIE! We came home from Idaho and realized we left the bink at Tim's parents. He only used it to sleep and I thought for sure he'd freak, but we really only had one bad day and he never asked for it after that! Such a big boy!
