1st family trip

http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=1437610008/a=37558674/ Yesterday we returned home from our first family vacation. We went to Santa Barbra to visit Megan and Peter Quinn. We had such a good time there going to the beach for the first time with Gavin and wine tasting in wine country. The weather was a perfect 73 degrees everyday, which made it hard to come home to the 108 temp. here in Phoenix! We had quite the time getting there. We thought we would use my Mom's non-rev tickets to fly into Burbank and then rent a car to drive to Santa Barbra. The first flight of the day looked great for us to get on, however, that didn't happen. Long story short, we flew to LA, took a shuttle to the Burbank airport where we had to gather our luggage that had gone ahead of us, pick up our car, and then drove to Santa Barbra! Needless to say we arrived there about 4 1/2 hours after we had predicted. When we arrived, we found out Micheal Jackson had died. It was crazy because we had just driven past UCLA hospital in the shuttle at the exact time that he was taken there and not knowing it! Gavin was such a good boy durning that whole time, Alex and I must have said it a hundred times how great he did. Not once did he fuss, he was just along for the ride and loved to wave and talk to all the people we saw. We couldn't have asked for a better little boy! Gavin is almost going to be one. I can hardly believe it. It really seems like I just brought him home from the hospital, I remeber it all that clearly. This past month he has changed so much, he is finally crawling ARMY style and Alex and I both this morning witnessed him crawl a bit on his knees! He goes everywhere in his walker and points at everything. His words consist of "mumumumuma" and "dadadadada" too cute. He is changing everyday so quickly and looks like a little boy. With this past year flying by like it did, who knows what the next year will bring!
