he loves to sweep (swiffer)... right on!

one afternoon folding laundry....

in the basket, outa the basket...

hide & seek!

gav LOVES to blow kisses to himself in the mirror.

oh boy....

muahhhhhh!

wanna ride!!!

gav is 100% obsessed with bikes, motorcycles, trucks, etc.....

at least these are on his level!

i guess it's not too far away?

every time gav goes into the garage, he ooohs and ahhhs at the dirtbikes. 

it's so funny... he "pets" the tires.

insisted on trying out his friend Johan's bike... loved it!

summer weekends!

these are a couple of shots from Labor Day weekend... we hit the beach, went to our friend Johan's birthday party and just hung out around the house....

this one cracks me up! 

(doesn't it look like he's sucking in?)

checking out the waves! 

(Mark is the "Gav-whisperer"

... he helped Gav conquer his fear of the waves...

at cousin Anna's soccer game.... 

notice the strong family resemblance?

hahahah! right!

the Brian-Birthday-Olympics!

so, our good friend (and my boss) Brian had an Olympic bday party recently with 70's-inspired athletic wear as the theme... Gav was stylin'! (and a good sport too!!!)

Team Crocker!

ahhh... Mark showing Gav how fun giant Twister can really be!

let the games begin!

taking a break!!!
(he is actually drinking juice. i think he's the only kid in the world that doesn't like juice!)

one tuckered-out lil' Olympian!

taking a break....

hanging out at home... phew!

awww mack, you're so comfy!

helping dad clean the garage... (with the flag, of course)

it's all about balloons and flags these days!

busy summer times!

wow... we've been on the fast-track! so much going on these days. whether we are here at home or out and about, we are busy!

at the OC Fair... Gav loved the pony ride and the animals! 

he was petting the ponies like he does Karson and Mack. :)

in love with his balloon and all of the cool lights!

can't get enough of that smile!
