JEREMY AIMEE & GAVIN

Halloween Fun!

2011-11-18T21:40:00.000-08:00

Sorry it's been so long! We have been busy lately, with the holidays (Halloween & Gavin's birthday) and being home for a while, I havent been able to blog! Here's a little catch up for the month of October...

The second weekend in October we took Gavin to Bates Nut Farm. I was told about this place from a lady at my doctor's office. She said it's really fun for the kids because there is a lot to do, so we had to go see for ourselves. We ended up having a lot of fun! Gavin got to feed animals at a petting zoo, drink homemade lemonade, go on a hayride, and pick out his own pumpkin! He had a blast :)
Towards the end of October my great-grandmother passed away, so Gavin and I headed to Texas a little earlier than planned. Although this was a sad reason to visit home it meant that we would be able to spend Halloween with my family. We went to my dad & step-mom's house (just like we did last year for his 1st Halloween), and Gavin got to trick-or-treat with his cousins Kylie and Ashtyn! He had a blast getting all his candy!

Here are some of the pictures from our Happy Halloween :)

Sea World- September 2011

2011-10-13T12:12:00.000-07:00

As most of you know, we took Gavin to Sea World a few weeks ago. He LOVED it! He got to see tons of animals, feed the sea lions, ride rides, and watch Shamu's show! The weather was perfect and beautiful! We got there when they opened and left around 3pm, and he was passed out before we got out of the parking lot! Here are some pictures of our day...Enjoy :)

Gavin and I on his first amusement ride ever! He wasnt sure about it at first, but once we started spinning he had so much fun! Gavin and Jeremy on the "Elmo's Flying Fish" ride!
At the aquarium

We got to feed the sea lions (actually Jeremy did all the feeding!). It was so funny to see how crazy the sea lions got when they saw we had food. They started making noises and one actually raised it's hand until Jeremy threw it a fish!

Looking at the dolphins :)

Of course, we couldnt leave without getting a cool souvenir. Jeremy and I searched the gift shop for anything that had wheels and we found a Sea World truck w/ trailer! Gavin was SO HAPPY to have a new truck to play with!

Gavin and Jer in the polar bear cave! The polar bear exhitbit was very realistic. They actually keep it super cold so you can see how the climate really is for the bears. They also had a wall of ice that you could touch.

Gavin wasnt too thrilled with all the characters they had running around, BUT when he saw Elmo he immediately pointed and tried to get out of the wagon so he could go see him! Once we got up there he was still a little unsure, but before we left he gave Elmo a five and told him bye :)

Sea Turtles!

All three of us had a blast and we cant wait to go back again! Our next trip will be to the San Diego Zoo!

Busy Times...

2011-10-09T19:25:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I have posted...It seems like this past month has been so busy!

Jeremy was gone for 2 and a half weeks in August and then once he got back we started packing because we moved to a new apartment this past month. These last couple weeks we have just been getting used to our new place. We also took Gavin to Sea World for the first time!! He had SO MUCH FUN! Jeremy and I had lots of fun as well! Oh, we also got a puppy! She is so sweet and Gavin is in love with her!

Later this month we celebrate Halloween and then a few days later we will be flying to Texas! We will be home for Gavin's 2nd birthday and then we are also going to Dallas for the Cowboys game! We are VERYYYY excited :)

I will leave you with a picture of our "almost 2-year-old"!

My Life

2011-08-11T19:45:00.000-07:00

Over the past few weeks, I have realized how much older and independent Gavin is getting. He is trying to repeat a lot more words and he is letting us see his personality even more. If he wants something he will bother you until you get it for him and he loves to watch movies. He is totally OVER his "little kid" toys and pretty much only plays with cars, trucks, or anything that has wheels. He is definitely ALL BOY!!

Every time Jeremy or I get up from the couch Gavin will run as fast as he can to get our "spot", and he thinks it hilarious! He also fakes sleeping when we need to change his diaper, get him dressed, or if we call his name for anything. He will run and lay down on the couch and make a snoring sound...Its so cute but I have no idea where he got it from!

We havent quite started the Potty Training Journey yet; I think he still has a little while before we start that! He loves eating fruit and would eat it for every meal if I let him. Anytime he wants some he runs to the fridge and when I open it he grabs the container of strawberries and grapes. This kid knows what he wants and is not afraid to let you know! We've been lucky enough that Gavin is usually pretty good about taking naps and going to bed. He knows when it is time to go to bed that Mommy & Daddy need hugs & kisses first! I cant get enough of those sweet kisses and loving hugs :)

Overall, Jeremy and I are very blessed to have such a smart, healthy, and sweet baby boy...although he's not a baby anymore! I still cannot believe he will be 2 years old in less than three months!

And now, I will leave you with a picture of our handsome man....

Our Trip to the Firestation :)

2011-08-03T17:37:00.000-07:00

Today we got to go to the firestation on base and look at all the firetrucks! They always have fun little events for kids on base, so we decided to take advantage and check it out. My friend Brittany and her son Connor (he is 4 months younger than Gavin) went too.

Its pretty hard to get a good picture of these 2 because they never wanna look at the same time!

Once they were done showing all of their tools and equiment, all of the kids got to shoot the water hose! They all loved it :)

Gavin wasnt too sure at first, but then he got into it.

Everyone got their own helmet and fire safety info!

This was in the movie room...There were rows of these big recliners. Of course, the boys loved sitting in them!

I think Gavin's favorite part was sitting in the front seat of one of the firetrucks. He didnt want to get out!

Speedy Sunday!

2011-07-31T14:31:00.002-07:00

Just Wanted To Do A Quick Post Of Our Park Day This Weekend :)

LOVE this smile!

Gavin is growing so fast and he's starting to act more like a big kid lately! He is talking more (only when HE wants to) and is becoming more independent. He thinks he needs to do everything himself and he's such a Momma's Boy! I cant believe our little Baby G will be 2 in three short months! Where does the time go?!? The next time we are home he will be a completely different kid!

Summertime in San Diego!

2011-07-25T15:59:00.000-07:00

We havent done too much so far this summer...We have just been enjoying the WONDERFUL weather! Gavin loves to go swimming, go to the park, or pretty much do anything outside! Recently, Jeremy's schedule changed so we are able to hang out with him more during the day. I can tell Gavin is loving being with his Daddy more often :) His favorite part of the day is going to jump on Jeremy in the morning to wake him up. Gavin thinks it's hilarious! He loves his cinnamon toast!

He had to sit on his own chair!

BEFORE his big haircut...

And AFTER!!

His hair was very long and was getting way to hard to deal with because it is so thick and grows so fast, so we had to go with a really short cut! I love it but it makes him look so grown up!

Last weekend we went to the Family Day Celebration for Jeremy's squadron. It was the perfect day to hangout outside, and Gavin had so much fun running around everywhere :)

Finally, a family picture!

We are absolutely LOVING the summer weather in San Diego! It is warm enough to go to the pool, but not too hot like I'm hearing it is back in Texas. I dont know what I will do when I have to be in Texas during the summer because I complain when it's 90 degrees here! I guess I've just gotten used to the breeze and low humidity. If only we could live in Texas and have California weather we would be one happy family!

Texas Trip- May 2011

2011-06-15T10:52:00.001-07:00

This past May we went home for Scotty's graduation! I didnt take too many pictures (and we were only home for the weekend), but here are the few I did take.

Gavin wanted to be a big boy and sit in the empty seat all by HIMSELF! We got to spend a day with my dad, step mom, brother, and grandparents. Gavin was worn out from swimming all afternoon.
Wagon ride with Cousin Ashtyn!

All dressed up for Uncle Scotty's graduation :)

The last time Jeremy and I were home together was in January, so we took this time to hangout with our friends and enjoy being Gavin-free a few nights!

Sidewalk Chalk!

2011-04-25T19:10:00.001-07:00

In Gavin's Easter basket he got some sidewalk chalk, so we decided to try it out today! I wasnt sure if he would play with it or try to eat it, but he actually had a lot of fun :) By the time we were done he was trying to color on the walls of our patio, so we had to trick him into going inside. He stopped to smile for the camera :)

CHEESEEE!!!

Of course Jeremy had to join in the fun too! And of course he wrote "Dallas Cowboys".

February/March/April

2011-04-23T13:00:00.001-07:00

FEBRUARY
MARCH

Spending St.Patty's Day with his cousins :)

Hanging out at home

APRIL

For Easter this year we arent really doing much, but our apartment complex has an Easter Egg Hunt every year for the kids so we went to that this morning.

Gavin had a lot of fun picking up the eggs!

We invited one of his friends, Connor, to come over and hunt eggs too!

Having fun with his daddy!

Best Buddies :)

We hope everyone has a great EASTER!! We will be back home at the end of May for Scotty's graduation. We can wait to see everyone again :)

2011-02-26T21:23:00.000-08:00

JUST A LITTLE UPDATE ON G-MAN:

His new words are "dog", "hot", and "sock". He also likes to point his finger at Jeremy and I and tell us "NO"!

He's growing like a weed! He has a doctor's appointment on Tuesday, so I will update with his height and weight next week.

He can now officially open and close all of the doors in our apartment...fun stuff! The only door he hasnt opened is the front door because we ALWAYS keep it locked.

He's still a little too short to get up on our couches on his own, but he can easily get down! He CAN climb into the rocking chair though...just another thing for him to hurt himself on! Ohhh the joys of having an exploring toddler :)

He still loves bath time and can now almost climb in the tub on his own. (I wouldnt say thats a good thing though because he scares Jer and I when he tries to climb in HEAD FIRST!)

Recently I moved his collection of books to his little rocking chair in his room so that he could look at them if he wanted. Little did I know I would be reading him a book every 5 minutes! Unfortunately, I never got into the habit of reading him a bedtime story, but I think Im going to have to start! He LOVES to sit in my lap and read books :)

He knows his first spanish word! Zapatos! He cant say it yet, but he knows it means shoes!

2011-02-25T12:31:00.000-08:00

Since we've been back in California we havnt really been up to much. The weather has been pretty good (other than these past 2 weekends), so when we get the chance we go play outside or just walk around. Im looking forward to the warmer weather, hopefully it comes back soon, because I would love to take Gavin to the zoo! Maybe next month we will be able to go :)

I'll leave you with a few random pictures I have taken of our growing 16 month old! Dinner for Mommy's 22nd birthday!

Better Late Than Never!

2011-02-25T11:55:00.000-08:00

Well, now that it's almost March I have decided it's finally time to update our blog! Last time I blogged was right before Christmas, so here are our photos from all of our Christmas festivities !

Before we went home we had to decorate our mini-tree!

We finally made it to Texas a few days before Christmas!
Here's a pic of the cousins on Christmas Eve :)

The kids making cookies for Santa!

Opening presents from his aunts & uncles

This year Gavin wasnt really into opening presents. He would get them then set them down and go play with something else. Next year he'll know whats going on!

My only picture I got on Christmas morning because my camera died! :(

Christmas Day was a BUSY day for us!

First, we did Christmas morning at home (Jeremy's parents house). Then we all packed up and went to The Junction to do Christmas with the Pimentels!

Gavin thought that bucket of beer was his...He definitely takes after his daddy!!

Hitting the pinata with the help of Aunt Les :)

Later that day, we saw my mom's side of the family and celebrated with them!

Here he is opening his present from Aunt Amanda.

Then, last but not least, we went to my dad's house that night!

Gavin got a wagon from Grammy and Papa!

Gavin was in desperate need of a haircut, so while we were home we visited Ryan for a quick trim!

Every year I hear everyone talking about Santa's Wonderland. I had never been and neither had Gavin, so we decided to head up there before it was closed for the year!

Here's our family picture :)

All of us on the hayride looking at all the lights!

Gavin loved the petting zoo :)

Before we left, we also saw my step-dad's family. I wasnt too sure if Gavin would like the 4-wheeler or not, but as you can see he wasnt screaming! He had so much fun riding with Grandpa!

Daddy & Gavi opening presents :)

We had a lot of fun being home for a few weeks celebrating Christmas and the New Year with family and friends! As always, Gavin really enjoyed being able to play with all of his cousins and see his grandparents, aunts, and uncles. We cant wait to go back and visit again! :)

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas :)

2010-11-27T21:56:00.000-08:00

I was so excited to get Gavin's pictures taken with Santa this year...Unfortunately, he wasnt so thrilled. We decided to do a family picture first because maybe he wouldnt be so scared of Santa! We were able to snap one of him NOT crying....And then once we got up he started screamingggg!! We ended up getting the family picture, but we had to go back because I just loved this one of Gavin and Santa. Both of their faces are priceless :)

Happy Holidays Everyone!

See you all soon!

A little bit of everything....

2010-11-27T21:26:00.001-08:00

Hello Everyone!! We have been enjoying our first couple of weeks in San Diego, and we cant wait until it gets a little warmer so we can go out and about and do more things!

Here are a few pictures of what we've done so far...And of course some random ones of Gavin :)

This year we had Thanksgiving dinner on our own in California! I had never made a whole Thanksgiving meal on my own, so I was a little worried about everything turning out. Luckily, it all tasted GREAT! I made turkey, gravy, corn, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pecan pie.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
On Black Friday we decided to skip the shopping and go see one of the beaches nearby. We went to Ocean Beach, CA. I was very surprised to see people out surfing because is was 60 degrees outside. Gavin wasnt being very photogenic that day!

Family Picture :)

Daddy & G

Mommy & G

Later that day, we got out the Christmas tree and started decorating! Of course, Gavin just wanted to play with the ornaments...I got a little help out of him!

Such a cute little helper :)

I Almost Forgot!

2010-11-13T13:23:00.001-08:00

Here is Gavin's First Year video that I made. I played it at his birthday party, but not until late because I forgot all about it!
ENJOY :)

Marine Corps Ball 2010

2010-11-13T12:42:00.000-08:00

November 10 is the Marine Corps birthday, so every year in November each squadron has a ball to celebrate. We werent sure if we were going to be able to go because we just got to California 4 days before the ball, but we got everything worked out while we were in Texas so we were able to go!

HAPPY 235th BIRTHDAY MARINES!!!

Some of the guys from Jer's new shop

We had a lot of fun and they told us Gavin did great at childcare! His teacher said he helped her lay out the pillows for the big kids to sleep on...What a cute little helper!

Happy 1st Birthday to my Prince!!

2010-11-12T10:17:00.000-08:00

The day finally came...my little G turned 1! Jeremy and I couldnt believe that it had already been a year since Gavin was born. A lot has happened in the last 12 months, and Im happy to say that despite Jeremy being deployed for 7 months, this last year has been a blast!

While we were in Texas we were able to have Gavin's birthday party so that all of our friends and family could join in the celebration! Here are some pictures of his "Froggy Party", enjoy!

My sister made his CUTE cakes! They turned out great and everyone loved them!We had froggy cookies too!

Gavin had never been in a bounce house before, so this was a first for him.

HE LOVED IT!!

Getting ready to eat some cake!

He wasnt really sure what to do with it...

Feeding Daddy :)

Gifts!

Jeremy and I had so much fun while we were in Texas, and I know Gavin did too! I was glad we were able to be there for his birthday as well. Thank you to everyone who made it out to his party; we really appreciate it!

LONG Overdue!

2010-11-04T20:28:00.000-07:00

Alright, ever since Jeremy has been back from Afghanistan I have been very lazy with updating our blog! It seems like so much has happened in these past few months, so here's a quick rundown....

July and August- Jeremy got back from Afghanistan, so him, Gavin, and I got used to being back in North Carolina. Jeremy's family came up to NC for his homecoming. If you are friends with me on Facebook you can see all of the pictures from that! (If not, then get a Facebook! Haha).

September- Our little family of 3 got reacquainted with each other and enjoyed our time alone as a family again :) Gavin was great with Jeremy...It was like he never left! At the end of September we came home for Jer's post-deployment leave. We had a lot of fun spending time with family and friends...Even though we were going non-stop for the whole 2 weeks we were home! Also, before we actually got to Texas, Sylvia flew to North Carolina and flew back with Gavin that way we didnt have to take him on the 20 hour drive. What a sweet mother-in-law I have! So he got to spend some special Gavin/Nana time with her...and Papaw too!

**At the end of September we also found out some exciting news. Jeremy is now going to be stationed in San Diego, California! That means little G and I will be going there as well :) **

October- Since we found out we were going to be moving to San Diego and leaving North Carolina very soon, we decided to leave Gavin in Texas for a few weeks that way we could pack up the house and get everything done that we needed to without dragging Gavin out everywhere. It was VERY nice of Sylvia to do this for us and it helped us out tremendously! So we did everything we needed and got back to Texas as soon as the Marine Corp would let us (which wasnt soon enough for me!).

We are now back in Texas visiting for a few weeks. This time, while we are here, we have just been relaxing and enjoying being home! We've gone to Scotty's football games and visited with family again. For Halloween we went to my Dad and Denise's and trick-or-treated with them and my sister and her kids! Gavin had lots of fun walking around everywhere and collecting lots of candy for Mom and Dad!

November- This week has been a very busy week for us! Gavin's birthday party is Saturday, so I have been running around all week getting all the goods I need for the party. Tomorrow is Gavin's actual birthday and we have a busy day planned! It's his 1st birthday, so it has to be a good one! First, we're going to Ihop for a yummy birthday breakfast! Then home to nap and get ready for an afternoon at Chuck E. Cheese with all his cousins. Then back home (to hopefully nap again!) and get ready for his Uncle Scotty's LAST high school football game! And then back home to bed to get ready for his Froggy Birthday Party on Saturday :)

We plan to leave early Monday morning to take off to San Diego. Its going to be a longggg drive with our little 1 year old, but I know we'll make it. I know it will be a little hectic for a week or so until we get settled into our new place, but I will try to keep everyone updated on our move, and I'll also put up pictures on my next post!

OH! And among all of this updating I almost forgot to let you all know...our little G is walking now!!!!!! He is now a crazy little boy and getting into anything he can get his little hands on! I love watching him walk everywhere though...SO CUTE!

Gavin Brooks!

2010-07-11T07:17:00.000-07:00

I forgot to put some pictures up of Gavin in my last post! Here are a few from our trip to NC!

We tried to keep him occupied with his toys in the car...he loves that shovel! Very tired boy! He just did not want to sleep in the car for some reason.
Finally home!! You can see how happy he is to be out of that carseat :)

Back in North Carolina

2010-07-11T06:59:00.000-07:00

I keep telling myself that I am going to update our blog with pictures of the last few months, but honestly I dont think I will have time. We have made the long trek to North Carolina (a 21 hour drive!) and have unpacked everything in our new house. Sylvia, Gavin, and I are here now and in a few days the rest of the group will come up! Jeremy is due back this week and I couldnt be more excited!!!! The last few weeks have been very hectic trying to get everything ready to move and then getting here and unpacking and getting things ready for Jer to be back. We are all so excited for him to be back...especially Gavin and I :)

I was worried at first because I had not been able to come up to North Carolina and see the house we're renting (I only saw a few pictures). Once we got here and saw the house my worries went away! Its a 3-bedroom house with a big yard. I cant wait to watch Gavin grow up and be able to play with his daddy outside!

My dreams are finally coming true and our family is being put back together again! I am so anxious to see how Gavin and his daddy interact. Its going to be an amazing reunion! Only 4 days until Jer's arrival and that still seems so far away! Im trying to keep myself busy that way these next few days go by super fast!

I will try to keep everyone updated once Jeremy is back and once I get the time I will definitely put up pictures of his homecoming!

Have a great summer :)

BUSY BUSY BUSY!!

2010-06-28T12:52:00.000-07:00

Ok, I have been slacking lately! These last 2 months have been busy and I have had lots to do! Jeremy is due back in the middle of July, so I have been doing everything I can to get ready to move back to North Carolina. Finding a house, buying all the things we needed, setting up utilities, packing, and taking care of Gavin are only a FEW of the things I have been dealing with. Ahhh, all I can say is that I will be so happy once it's all over with...not to mention I will have my husband back!!!!!! Gavin and I are so ready for Jeremy to be back and for all 3 of us to start our lives as a family :)

I will try to get our blog updated soon, but I have a lot of packing to do first!

So until then, I leave you with a picture of my sweet, sweet boy...who, by the way, is almost 8 months old!!

It's Baseball Season!

2010-05-06T09:39:00.000-07:00

For those of you who don't know, I LOVE BASEBALL!!! I love going to the Astro's games and I've been lucky to be able to go to a few games so far.

First I went with my mom and her boyfriend. They had AMAZING tickets...we got to sit in the sky box suites :)

My mom and I at B.U.S. Watching the game!

Mom, David, and I

We had a great view...

and it was a perfect night for a game :)

I was also able to take Gavin to his 1st game!!!! He did GREAT and I think he really enjoyed it :)

VEGGIE Tales 2

2010-05-06T08:36:00.000-07:00

Gavin's been doing really good trying all these new veggies! The only one he hasn't really liked is potatoes...probably because they are bland and have NO flavor. He cant have the good mashed potatoes yet!!

Here he is eating SQUASH! He loves squash :)

BEETS!

GREEN BEANS! Another one of his favorites :)

PEAS!

He's going to try sweet potatoes now since he doesnt really like regular potatoes, and we'll try those again in a few weeks :)

My Little Roley Poley

2010-04-21T19:44:00.000-07:00

So, Mr. Gavin has finally learned to roll over!! He's been close for about a week now, and he finally got it on Monday :) He goes from his back to his tummy...which isnt great because he hates to be on his stomach, so once he makes it over he cant make it back to his back and he gets mad!! Oh well, I'm just SO PROUD of my little man :)

Picture Perfect

2010-04-14T19:17:00.000-07:00

I just LOVE when my bff, Sarah, comes home to visit!! Gavin loves her and she always takes greattt pictures :)

Here are the ones she took this past weekend...Enjoy!

**MY FAVORITE**

Happy Easter!

2010-04-08T12:40:00.000-07:00

This first picture isnt Easter related, but I just LOVE it, so I decided to share it with everyone :) We had a lot of Easter festivities to go to this year, and Gavin had a ton of fun hunting eggs (even though he had no idea what he was actually doing).

Here is my baby on Easter morning. Ready for Church!

Look what the Easter Bunny brought him!!

Hunting eggs for the 1st time :)

Mommy and Gavin

Playing with all his eggs!

And his money...thank you Uncle Scotty for showing us where the $$$ eggs were! Haha

His new toy!

On the 4wheeler with Grandpa...Gavin LOVED being on it!!

SOOO RELAXED :)

Wearing his bunny ears with Grammy :)

His new bib that Grammy got him

Kylie Bear!

HAPPY EASTER!!

He also really enjoyed the hot tub!!

It was just heated up a little bit and he had so much fun!!

We had a great Easter this year :) We just wish Jeremy could have been here to celebrate with us!!!

VEGGIE Tales

2010-04-08T12:17:00.000-07:00

We have now started VEGETABLES!!! First of all, I cant even believe that my little boy is old enough to eat baby food!! But anyway, we started off with carrots :)

He had to get used to them but after the first few days he seemed to like them more.
I have been making my own baby food, but this night I decided to give him the baby food from the jar...it made suchhh a MESS!!

And when he sticks his fingers in his mouth the mess gets bigger!!

Yummm :)

I just love his face so much!!!!

This week he has started eating SQUASH. The first day I didnt think he liked them, but every day after he's eaten them all!! Today I even had to get more because he was still hungry :)

As you can see, he's not turning any food down so far....look at that belly!

Fun in the Sun

2010-03-23T12:37:00.000-07:00

Well, with the exception of these last few days, the past couple weeks have been beautiful!! It's been great to be able to bring Gavin outside and not have to wrap him up in 5 layers. We went to Kylie's birthday party and even went to the park a few times!

But first, I wanted to share this picture of the grandkids in the Pimentel family. This picture has come a LONG way from the first one they took together!!For Kylie's birthday I made her cupcakes...everyone knows I'm NOT creative, so this is as good as it gets!

Happy 4th Birthday Kylie Bear!

This picture came out perfect! It actually looks like he's blowing it haha

His 1st time to swing! He loved it :)

Gavin and Ashtyn

For Kylie's birthday party she wanted a St. Patricks Day theme since it was only a few days before St. Pattys Day.

Gavin got all dressed up in his green wear!

The party was outside, so he was in a great mood all day!

We also went to the park with Bren, Jace, and Ava.

Here is Bren...I think this may have been her 1st time to swing too :)

Gavin loved the swing so much he fell asleep

We've had a great month and Gavin is just growing and growing and growing!!

Now on a different note, Jeremy is doing good in Afghanistan! We usually email about once or twice a day and he gets to call like once every 2 weeks. He actually called this past Sunday and it was SO GOOD to talk to him and hear his voice!! He even talked to Gavin :) We cant wait for Jeremy to be back home so that we can start our new lives together and he and Gavin can get to know each other. We're still not sure when he will be back, but hopefully we will find out within the next few months. I will keep everyone updated once I know anything!!

Say Cheese!!!!

2010-03-23T12:06:00.000-07:00

During Spring Break the whole family went to Chuck E. Cheese's! All of the grandchildren were together...even Ava! This was Gavin's first time to go there, so there was lots for him to see! His eyes were moving a hundred miles an hour trying to see everything and take everything in. I can tell he really enjoyed it though :)

First he rode in the car with Chuckie!! I just LOVE his smile...Gavin's not Chuckie's! Haha
Gavin and Bren :)

I have ticketssss!!!!

Nana and Papaw with the two little ones

If you watch Gavin's hand in these next pictures you can see he stole something of Brenley's...

I dont think she even noticed, but we all thought it was funny!

By the end of the night Gavin was all worn out!! It was so cute because he was awake one minute and then next minute I looked over and he was OUT!

Cereal Time!!

2010-03-23T11:45:00.000-07:00

At the beginning of March Mr. Gavin started eating baby cereal!! I can't believe he's big enough to start eating food now...he is growing like a weed! I think I was more excited than he was, but he seems to be liking it :)

Here he is right before he tried it for the 1st time. He looks excited to me! Yummm :)

He likes to put his hands in his mouth...especially when he eats. So he always make a BIG MESS!!

Gavin is really liking cereal, but he is still trying to get the hang of eating it. Soon he'll be starting veggies!!!

I LOVE YOU STINKER!!

February Fun

2010-02-22T16:01:00.001-08:00

We havnt really done much this month other than hang out at home and visit family. It seems like every day Gavin gets bigger and starts to do something new. This month he has been full of smiles!! I could watch him smile all day :) He's also starting to discover his voice and has been cooing and "talking". It's so cute to listen to him just talk and talk. I cant believe my baby is almost 4 months old!!

Jeremy's dad always wants to take Gavin outside, but it's been so cold lately. We decided to get Gavin all bundled up so he could hang out with his Papaw outside for a little bit.

Uncle Scotty likes to dance with his little nephew

On Valentine's Day we went to my dad and stepmom's house. We hadn't seen them since Christmas so they were very excited to see how big Gavin had gotten!

Here is my brother, Brady, with Gavin. Brady was very happy I had a boy since my sister has 2 girls already. I can see they will be best buds when Gavin gets bigger :)

Papa and Gavin...My dad is already talking to him about going fishing!

Me and My Little Valentine

Gavin LOVESSSS to take baths!! Here he is just hanging out in the tub :)

My best friend Sarah came down from San Marcos, so we had to go visit her!! She always takes the cutest pictures of Gavin. Here are a few.

He likes to sit in his vibrating seat and watch T.V.

This past Sunday we went to church with Nana, Uncle Scotty, & Kendal, so of course we got Gavin all dressed up!! (Nana even got him some shoes to match his new outfit!)

Then he took a brake from taking pictures so he could play pool. He has to practice so he can play with his daddy when he gets back!

MY LITTLE MAN

2010-02-11T14:39:00.000-08:00

Here's a few pictures of my little man in the past few weeks.

The other day I took him to get his pictures done.

He's 3 months old...I cant believe how fast he's growing!!

He likes to play Wii

In his Adidas outfit Mommy and Daddy got him!

Jeremy was excited to see it finally fits him now :)

This was a few weeks ago when the weather was GREAT!! We went out on his 1st walk :)

Gavin was over at Aunt Leslie and Uncle Jacob's house and he was playing in Bren's bouncer...He's still got some growing to do before he can really play with it!

Aimee's 21

2010-02-11T13:43:00.000-08:00

I'm finally 21!!!! As Jeremy says, I'm not a young girl anymore! For my birthday we went out to eat at Chuy's. Jeremy's family came and so did my mom, sister, and my nieces. I had a great night and got some wonderful gifts! Jeremy is such a great husband...and very sneaky.

Here is Gavin and I :) The cake my sister made

Jeremy's Deployment

2010-01-25T08:46:00.001-08:00

We've hit the 1 month mark since Jeremy's been gone. I miss him more and more every day...and I know Gavin misses his daddy too! We cant wait for him to be back so we can start our new lives together with our little Gavi :) All his gear

The cargo plane they rode in...doesnt look too comfortable.

Their first stop was Rota, Spain. He was there for a few days.

Then they were in Kuwait for a couple days.

Of course he had to take a picture with the DALLAS sign!!

The tents in Kuwait

Jeremy is doing well and I email him almost every day and we get to talk on the phone about every 2 weeks.

Just A Few More Pictures

2010-01-24T20:52:00.000-08:00

In his Dallas gear...Jeremy would be proud :) Gavin, Papaw, and Jace

I love his precious face

SMILE!!

Gavin's 1st Christmas

2010-01-24T20:32:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately, Jeremy had to leave for Afghanistan 5 days before Christmas, so he missed Gavin's first Christmas. It was hard not having him here for the holidays, but I made sure to take plenty of pictures so he could see what we did :) He always has a serious look on his face

Gavin and I on Christmas Eve

Getting dressed to go to bed...in his red & green socks his daddy picked out!

In his Christmas pjs :)

Jeremy's 21st Birthday!

2010-01-24T20:19:00.001-08:00

Jeremy's birthday was November 30th and he was SO HAPPY he was able to still be here to celebrate! Here he is getting carded...WOO!! His first LEGAL drink of alcohol :)

We were staying with our friends until Jeremy left and she surprised him with the house decorated when we got home on his birthday. (The only decorations she had on hand were from a hawaiian party so those were what she put up haha)

Blowing out his candles

Finally...

2010-01-24T19:46:00.000-08:00

Ok so I know I'm almost 3 months behind on my blog, so I'll give some quick updates.

Well, as all of you know our Gavin was born on November 5th at 6:40am. After 21 hours of labor and almost 4 hours of pushing he finally arrived!! Jeremy and I were so proud and happy to finally have him with us. We got very lucky and Jeremy was able to stay in the U.S. until the 20th of December. I cant explain how hard it is to be seeing Gavin grow up without Jer here, but he'll be back before we know it and Gavin will have his daddy here again!

Here are a few pictures from the hospital and of Gavin's first few weeks of life on Earth :)
He just couldnt resist playing with the gloves...he's a little kid at heart!

Our precious Gavin Brooks Pimentel :)

Happy Family!

Sweet sweet Gavi...a few days old.

Napping

Nala loves him :)

The day after we got home the Cowboys played, so of course I made sure he had something to wear!!

It's Getting Closer....

2009-10-31T09:40:00.001-07:00

So as some of you know we got some good news this week. First, we found out that Jeremy doesn't have to leave until the 1st week of December (instead of leaving NEXT week)!! This was such a relief for Jer and I because we knew there was a chance he wouldn't be here for the birth of Gavin, but now we know that wont be a problem :) The second thing we found out was the date that I will be induced...NOVEMBER 4th!! If I don't go into labor before then we go to the hospital the morning of the 4th and hopefully Gavin will be here shortly after that.

The doctor said I was 1.5cm dilated yesterday and also said that if everything with the induction goes ok I should have no problem having the baby normally instead of a c-section.

Lets cross our fingers and hope that everything goes great. Gavin will be here in a few dayssss :)

Me @ 37 weeks

We wont be able to park here anymore! Haha

BABY Update

2009-10-26T07:38:00.000-07:00

So we had a doctor's appointment this past Friday...

Gavin & I are doing good :) I still have high blood pressure, but nothing that is affecting the baby...at least as of now it's not affecting anything. The doctor did say that since I've had this high blood pressure for the past month that they wouldn't let me go to my due date, so the latest I would have Gavin would be November 4th.

Thats only a week and a half away!!!!

Jer and I are hoping that he will be able to be here for the birth since the dates of him deploying and me delivering are so close. We should find out something this week...PRAY HE'LL BE HERE TO MEET GAVIN!!

If we find out any more information we will let everyone know.

Gavin,

We are all awaiting your arrival and we couldn't be more excited to meet you! Mommy and Daddy talk to you everyday and ask when you're going to come, but you just come when you are ready. Your family can't wait to finally see your handsome face, and it looks like we only have about a week and a half left of waiting.

We all love you so much...Happy Early Birthday!!

Love,

Your Mommy :)

Deeply In Love

2009-10-13T10:37:00.000-07:00

So just to let everyone know, I have the most wonderful husband in the world :) One night last week when I was at work he spent all night making this video for me. It was the sweetest thing...and every time I watch it it makes me cry. I cant help it!!

We're about a month away from my due date, and we couldnt be more ready for Gavin to be here!!! Jeremy and I are getting very anxious and we are praying that Gavin will be here before he gets deployed. We have an appointment this Thursday, so hopefully we will get more information on when we might be able to have him. We'll let everyone know if we find out anything :)

ENJOY!

Maternity Pictures

2009-09-18T10:26:00.000-07:00

When Jeremy and I went down to Texas in August we got our maternity pictures taken. I was only about 6 months along, but it was our only chance to get them taken with Jeremy being in them so we went ahead and did them a little early. Joyelle has taken pictures for Jeremy's family for a while now, so I knew I wanted her to do our maternity photos. They came out amazing and I couldnt be happier! Now we're waiting for Gavin to be here so that she can take newborn pictures of him :) Thanks again Joyelle!

Our Trip to Texas

2009-09-18T09:49:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I've been slacking on updating our blog, so I'll try to be more on top of it! I've been getting back into the tired stage of pregnancy, but only about 2 months to go!! Jeremy and I can't believe it's almost time for us to meet our Gavin. He's getting so big...SO AM I...but that only means it's getting closer to his birthday :)

Here's a little update on what we've been up to the last month or two...

As most of you know we were able to visit home in Texas at the beginning of August. While we were there Jeremy's parents and my grandma threw us 2 baby showers. We figured it would be a little easier to have 2 showers since we had so many family and friends that were able to come. We got so many wonderful gifts from everyone and we're so thankful that everyone was able to make it out! I was really bad about taking pictures the whole time we were down and I relied on everyone else taking pictures, so I only have a few to post.

Jeremy and I with the ADORABLE cake :)

I couldnt wait to eat a piece...it was very good!

My Mom's Visit To North Carolina!

2009-07-10T11:16:00.000-07:00

So since I have been all alone this summer, my mom decided to make a trip up to NC to see me (and my belly!). I was sooo excited for her to get here and we wasted no time finding things to do...the first day she was here we had my doctor's appointment to go to. Everything was good at the appointment and me and the baby are doing great :) After the doctor we went to the beach....

My mom WOULD NOT stop taking pictures of my belly...whether or not I wanted her to!! Haha Haning out at the beach :)

Another belly picture...this was the day we went to the Social Security Office to FINALLY get my last name changed. Jeremy was very happy to hear that I "officially" got it changed to Pimentel!!

Going to the beach again....tired of taking normal pictures.

We made it...Topsail Island!

Mom and I sitting in the sun :)

The first days we went to the beach I wore Jeremy's hat because I didnt want my face getting burnt. My mom and I decided to go to the mall one day before the beach and she got me my OWN Cowboys hat :)

I love North Carolina beaches...definitely not like home!

Out to eat at Roadhouse

21 weeks along

For the 4th of July we went to Camp Lejeune to celebrate!! They had food/drink stands, fun games for the kids, a couple different Marine bands (they were very entertaining), and fireworks that night. We had a blast!

Waiting for the bands to start playing.

The cannons they shot before the fireworks.

The first band that played...they were very fun to watch! They played fun music like Thriller, Cupid Shuffle, the chicken dance, and many others :)

Me and Mom!!

Lauren, Mom, Me

Of course, my mom had to take a picture of our pregnant bellies! (Lauren is due at the end of July)

The weekend before my mom left she booked a hotel for us to stay at in Raleigh. It was a very nice hotel and we actually got upgraded to the suite floor :) We got lucky!

She also booked us manicures and pedicures at the spa right next to the hotel...and I also got a pregnancy massage. It was soooo amazing! I told her she needs to come back every month so we can make it a monthy thing.

Later that night we had tickets to a "broadway show" in Downtown Raleigh. We got to get all dressed up...it was a great show!

We actually had seats in the 14th row, but right before the show started they asked us if we wanted to move up into the "pit"...2nd row seats!!

I had a great time while she was visiting and cant wait to do it again! It was a good distraction from Jeremy being gone, and it made the time go by faster. I only have 3 more weeks until he gets home then we're off to Texas for Jeremy's pre-deployment leave. See you all soon :)

Just An Update...

2009-06-28T15:53:00.000-07:00

As most of you know Jeremy is in California for training. He's been gone for 2 weeks now and I'm just ready for him to be home already!! When he left my tummy wasn't very big, but by the time he gets back I will be much bigger. I will be very excited to see him....only about 4 weeks to go now. I've just been keeping myself busy with my job and enjoying being pregnant :) Recently I've been able to start feeling Gavin move around in my tummy!! It's so exciting and I cant wait until I start feeling him move more...for right now it's just little movements every now and then. Jeremy and I talk everyday about how much we look forward to finally getting to meet him. I'm halfway through my pregnancy now, and it seems like time is flying by. My due date is November 11th :)

Summer 2009

2009-06-28T15:28:00.000-07:00

We had a little day trip to downtown Wilmington with our good friends Gina and Pedro.

All of us at dinner at an Italian pub....it was SOOOO GOOD!!!

Jeremy, Gina, and Pedro

For Memorial Day Weekend we got to go home and see everyone :)

Us at my dad and step mom's house...

And don't worry, the hot tub wasnt actually hot.

Laying out in the pool

The main reason for us going home was because Lorie (Jeremy's sister) and Shane were getting married. Here is us at their wedding.

We also got family pictures taken...it was a gift from everyone for Jeremy's mom for Mother's Day.

This is my favorite one of us!

We also got to see my sister and her 2 girls....Ashtyn was just born on April 15th, so she was still small :)

Jeremy, Me, Ashtyn, and Kylie

It's A BOY!

2009-06-28T15:19:00.000-07:00

Our next ultrasound was just last week and we finally got to find out the sex of our baby. From the pictures you can definitely see that it's a BOY!! We were so thrilled to find out we are going to have a boy...his name will be Gavin Brooks Pimentel :)

The little arrow is showing that he's a boy :)

My tummy at 20 weeks

Me at 18 weeks

SURPRISE!!!!

2009-06-28T15:04:00.000-07:00

At the beginning of March Jeremy and I found out that we're going to be having a baby!!! It was definitely a shock because we weren't planning it, but we were so excited once we got over the initial surprise. When we found out I was 4 weeks along and at our first appointment we got to have an ultrasound so that they could see exactly how far along I was.

This is a picture from the ultrasound. By that time I was 9 weeks along...our little baby was so small it was hard to believe it was real, but it was the most amazing feeling to see that there actually was a baby inside of me!

Our Life In North Carolina

2009-06-28T14:17:00.000-07:00

Jeremy and I flew to North Carolina 2 days after we got married and started our married life! We were both SO excited to finally be together and to be able to see each other every single day.

This is the sign for Jeremy's base...New River Air Station Jeremy's shop...The Raging Bulls

Just hanging out

Once we moved into our apartment my mom came down to visit us :)

Unfortunately we didnt get any pictures together...but here's one of me haha

We've heard that it snows every once in a while during the winter in NC, but this past year we got really lucky because it snowed a lot!! This was the first time Jeremy and I had ever seen this much snow.

Making a snowball

Icesicles!

OUR WEDDING!!

2009-06-09T19:17:00.000-07:00

So, Jeremy and I are known for changing our plans a million times and our wedding date was no exception. We originally were going to get married in March and then we decided to get married in August. I decided I wanted to be with him and I didn't want to wait a whole year for that to happen. So we set our wedding date for August 31, 2008...we had 2 weeks to plan our wedding. Those next 2 weeks were very stressful and busy for Jeremy, me, and both of our families. Luckily everything came together and we had a wonderful wedding day that we shared with our family and friends. Here are some pictures from our wedding :)

Summer 2008

2009-06-08T12:19:00.000-07:00

Last summer was really fun and luckily Jeremy got to come home 2 or 3 times!!

First we went to Galveston with his family on Memorial Day Weekend.

The day we got there...me and Jace!

At the IMAX with our cute glasses :)

Out to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack

We got to spend a day at Moody Gardens

For the 4th of July we went to my dad and step mom's

While Jeremy was home for the 4th we also had a get together at my Aunt Cheri's and Uncle Dub's house. It was a lot of fun....we got to ride jet skis in their little lake!!

Jeremy getting ready to try wakeboarding

Jeremy on the jet ski...I didnt get any pictures of me riding it :(

Wakeboarding!

My niece, Kylie and I

In the middle of July I got to go up to North Carolina and visit Jeremy!! It was nice getting to see the place where I would soon be living.

While I was up there Jeremy graduated from his longgg school, so I got to go to the little ceremony they had.

At the ceremony

All the guys in his class

Just hanging out :)

Driving to the beachhhhh

The beach in NC is really pretty!! Much better than Galveston...

I wasnt very good at it haha

But he was better than I was :)

I finally got it!

Waiting for my flight back home at the airport

Jace turned 1 in August and we didnt think Jeremy would be able to make it down for his party. BUT Jeremy and I surprised his whole family by keeping it a secret that he actually would be able to come!! Unfortunately, I didnt get any pictures of the surprises or of Jace's birthday party, but I did get a few pictures at Chuck E. Cheese's on Jace's actual birthday.

It was just a family event on Jace's birthday

Ruben, Lorie, Sylvia, and Jace

Jeremy playing games....what's new?!?!

The Next Step

2009-06-08T11:20:00.000-07:00

When I went up to school I knew I'd meet some amazing people. My best friend from high school, the girls she was suitemates with, and I all became really close and in January we decided that all of our boyfriends needed to meet each other. We had all met each others boyfriends, but we had never ALL been together. We had it all planned out and we were all really excited!! Jeremy flew into Austin that weekend and he stayed with me up at school instead of us going home like we usually did.

I just thought it was going to be a regular visit from him (besides that fact that he would be in San Marcos visiting me). Little did I know my friends and him had other plans. Sarah (my best friend) and I drove to Austin Friday night to pick up Jeremy and everyone else stayed at the dorm to wait for us to get back. Well, once we got back we walked into the room and everyone was standing there, the lights were off and candles were lit, and right when we walked in Jeremy and I's song started playing..."She's Everything" by Brad Paisley. Right then I knew what was going on because that weekend Jeremy and I were supposed to go look at rings...he was just a little ahead of me!! He knelt down and proposed and I DID NOT know what to do!! Haha Of course I said YES, but I was just so shocked!! All of my friends knew about it and they all helped Jeremy plan a wonderful proposal :) Not to mention my birthday was 3 days after we got engaged, so that made it a GREAT birthday too!

Right after I said YES!!

College and Career

2009-06-02T13:44:00.000-07:00

Little did we know the next year would be fun, yet interesting. Having a long distance relationship was anything but easy, but we got through it just fine. Jeremy came home for every major holiday and a few times in between. I even got to go visit him when he was stationed in Florida! He was doing his yearlong school for his job in the Marines and I was going through my first year of college. Every time Jeremy got to come home it was bittersweet because he was only able to stay for 3 to 4 days at a time. It seemed like he had to leave right after he got home...those were some very hard goodbyes for us.

Out to dinner at Red Lobster when I visited him in Florida I also got to meet some of his friends at a place they always hung out on base

The day I left :(

Our Lives After High School

2009-06-02T13:02:00.000-07:00

After Jeremy and I graduated we both had different ideas of what we were planning on doing with our lives. I decided to go to college in San Marcos and Jeremy went into the U.S. Marine Corps. Jeremy leaving for boot camp was really hard for everyone...especially since he left about a week after graduation. Those were probably the hardest 3 months of our relationship since we weren't able to communicate other than writing letters to each other. It was a very difficult summer for the both of us, so when it was time for his boot camp graduation I was SO EXCITED!!! (And I know he was too!) His family and I flew to San Diego in August '07 to pick him up :)

Us dancing at his graduation/ going away party

I was very sad :( On our way back home from San Diego!!!

High School Sweethearts

2009-06-01T13:10:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone!! I've felt left out on this whole blog thing because both of Jeremy's sisters have one, so I decided to go ahead and start one for Jeremy and I.

Jeremy and I met in high school and we also worked together our junior year. We always knew who each other were but never talked...until I HAD THE COURAGE TO TALK TO HIM!! He will probably disagree, but I know the real truth :) Jeremy and I always talk about how we both never thought we'd find the one for us, and we're both blessed to have found each other. I look back at our old pictures, and I'm so glad we got to share those special high school moments together.

One of our first pictures :)
