A Snowy Weekend

On Friday it snowed about four inches and we've been enjoying it all weekend. Lindy, Gavin, and I all played in the snow on Saturday for about an hour and today Gavin and I went out again. This time, we made a snowman in the backyard and one in the front yard. Here are some pics!

UPDATE:
I just put a video in this post of various clips from this weekend. So be sure and scroll down to watch it.

Gavin Likes Being Tickled

Gavin really likes to be tickled. As with many other things he gets this from his mommy. Tonight, before putting him to bed, he kept asking to be tickled over, and over, and over. It was hilarious!

It's a Rough Life

Gavin's been living a really tough life lately. So tough, he wanted to share how bad it was with all of you. The sleeping picture came about while he was watching Toy Story. He just couldn't keep his eyes open.

Happy Halloween from the Wests

Yes it has been forever since we've posted anything new. In fact, we've only posted 2 blog entries in 2009 while in 2008 we posted much much more. It's pretty easy for me to post tech content over on that blog, but I find it harder to post stuff here. We'll try and do better. Oh, the "CF" pumpkin below stands for ColdFusion which is an Adobe product I use quite heavily.

Enjoy these Halloween photos.

Much Needed Warmth and Sunshine

Last Sunday was an awesome day! The high was near 60 and there was plenty of sunshine. Gavin and I needed to get outside and run around. I hate the cold winter so we don't play outside much from December to February. I needed the warmth of the sun shining on my back, so out we went. Macy joined us, and even Pooh came out for a short swing!

Converting Gavin's Bed Into a Toddler Bed

Last Thursday Lindy called me at work and her first words were "You won't believe what Gavin did." Knowing Gavin, very little surprises me and I wasn't even surprised when Lindy informed me Gavin climbed at of his crib after his afternoon nap. We've talked about his ability to perform this task and we wondered when the day would come. I think I'm more surprised he wasn't climbing out several months ago. We decided to wait a few days to see how things progressed. He climbed out again and again over the next few days after naps and then yesterday morning after sleeping through the night. To make things a bit safer for Mr. Climber Man we converted his crib into a toddler bed last night. Here are some pics that show how Gavin climbs out as well as a before and after of the crib. The crib is made by Baby's Dream and is super awesome as it has several functions. It's a normal crib with two different mattress heights (one for a baby and one for a toddler), and converts from a crib into a toddler bed, and then into an adult full-size bed. I jokingly told Gavin last week he could take his bed with him to college. Isn't it nice to have options?
