Halloween Pics

These pictures are from our ward Trunk r Treat. We have a guy in our ward that is a photographer and he set up a little photo shoot at the Trunk r Treat to get pics of all the kids in their costumes. Here are some pics of Gavin and Alexander. But I do have to say, they both looked so much cuter in person!

One Week Old!!

SHE IS HERE!!! Madilynn Elise Ray

On Friday (Halloween) morning I started having contractions around 6:30am. I didn't pay much attention to them, I figured this could go on all day. So I went on with my regular day. Around 11:00am I was about to head out the door to go get my toes done, so I could have pretty toes for the baby (hehe). well that's when they hit me like a bomb. They were coming every 3 mins. So I decided we better get ready to go to the hospital. Mama came and picked up Gavin and we were off. We had to stop and get lunch because I was starving (bad Idea). We got to the hospital around 12:30pm signed in and 5 mins later my water broke right in the middle of the waiting room full of people. I was soooo embarrassed, but that didn't last long because the pain was taking over. The food I ate on the way to the hospital was a bad idea because it had made its way right back up. Anyway to make a long story short, we got our room and the Epidural. I was dilated to a 4 and stayed there for 6 hours. I was planning on having a v-bac, but that didn't happen. After waiting 6 hours I figured that was enough. So they wheeled me in for a C-Section and Madilynn was born at 8:50pm on Halloween night. She weighted 8Lbs 7oz and was 20 in. long. She is a beautiful baby girl and I am so glad she is here. We love her so much and can't wait to watch her grow up to be a wonderful daughter of God. Gavin also loves her so much and already is the best big brother ever.

Enjoy the Pictures!

Pics from the week

We went to pick out our pumpkins on Saturday. But we got there are saw how expensive they were and decided to just still some pics. Then we went to walmart and got ours for half the price. I know we are so cheap, but its just going to end up in the trash anyway:)

Look there is an enormous Pumpkin wearing a pink shirt!!

We took Gavin to a Halloween festival and tried to get him to wear his costume so he would look cute like the other kids. But of course he was not having it. This is him and Oliver being grumpy butts. ( It was really hot outside, so I cant say I blame them)

Gavin with his new hair cut. Thank you to Uncle Gregory for your hair cutting skills! I miss his poofy curls but at least he does not look like a raga-muffin

Gavin has started this new thing where he pulls Jonathan's clothes out of the closet and drags it around the house and outside saying daddy, daddy, daddy. I suppose he is trying to find his daddy. It's cute but kinda sad, because I know he misses his dad all day.

Some Pics from last Halloween

I was going through some of our pictures from last Halloween and I thought I would share a few since we did not have a blog last year. I sure do miss my baby boy, I wish they could stay little forever. I also miss being with all my family for the Holidays! Happy Halloween to all! If our baby girl is born on Halloween we will name her Hallie Ween Ray (lol JK).

Sea World

Last weekend we took Gavin to Seaworld for their spooktakular festival. We are trying to do as many fun things with him as we can before this baby gets here. But of course he was being a huge grump that day. He didnt want to wear his so cute Monkey costume, and didnt want to get out of the stroller for any pictures. He is just to much like is momma. We did get him to pose for a few shots with a candy bribe.
So Enjoy!!

He had a blast looking at all the animals, if I would have let him he would have climbed right into the cage with them.

This is a grumpy pic, we had to force him to sit on the dang pumpkin
Candy will make any kid smile!

He looks like a little lost puppy!

Daddy and Gavin and some weird fish thing.

Cookie Monster!

I gave Gavin his snacks when we were on the way home from the store the other day. He seemed to be happy with them because he was quiet. A few minutes later he says Mommy, Mommy. I turned around to find that he was having a lot more fun with his cookies than I thought. He had one stuck right to his forehead! It was so funny I had to snap a pic with my cell phone. (Thank goodness for camera phones)
