Gant Family Reunion 2014

Our annual Powers Gant Family Reunion!  

Thank you Grandma Marsha and Grandpa Bruce for letting us borrow your camper!
We were fortunate this year to be able to reserve three spots by the hillside where there is a small little creek that runs through.  Makes for some fun play times! (and lots of dirty clothes!)
The boys were constantly trying to dam it up with sticks and dirt
William says the best part about camping is time with his cousins (o;  My boys are so lucky to have the cousins they do.
We hiked up the hillside to the very top and took this pic.  Such cute little men.
The dogs equally enjoy camping...This was our first trip with Freska.
Did we mention she loves carrying around sticks?  (or should I say small trees?)
 I thoroughly enjoy all the family time...And the memories that are being made (o;
Auntie Lori always gives the boys lots of lovin'

Doin' what we do best...Feedin' the fam.  It's more fun making dinner together, for sure!

Great discussions happen around a campfire (o;
And when we do camping, we don't skimp on good food...

Goofy pics with boys are a MUST

I know that I'll appreciate this photo with all the boys more and more as the years go by...
Until next year!

Oct. 6th, 2008 We're having a... 20 weeks 5 days

...BOY!!!!! We were very pleased to see a very healthy little baby on the monitor. He clearly let us see that he was a boy despite the fact that he's facing breech right now. All systems intact, his hands have fingers and his feet have toes, and his little heart was beating about 136bpm. He weighs in at approx 14 ounces so he's already almost hit a 1 pound (they said he measured a little bigger than what was expected for my due date). He was moving around quite a bit and kept putting his hands in front of his face while we were trying to get pictures. Curtis said "This little guy doesn't know he's got the wrong family; we're all mellow." We are so thankful that everything measures out fine and that things are progressing well. We get to go in for our 3-D ultrasound Nov. 21st. Happy Birthday Mel (her birthday is today!), you're gonna be Auntie to a nephew!

Sept. 17th, 2011 30 weeks (and 2 days) with #2!

Really? 30 weeks already?! WHERE DID THE TIME GO???!!! He'll be here before we know it! Well, we just keep pluggin' along. Every day his kicks get a little stronger and the belly gets a little bigger-two blessings (you have to count them as that right?!) that remind me he's alive, well and growing. A couple of friends have had their baby's in July and Sept. and it's definitely become more of a reality that I'm next now that they have their little ones (o: We are SO excited and just so very thankful that everything is going so well. It's simply amazing to me how a woman can continue on with life so normally as their body is used as a station of creation by God to form a new human being..."amazing" doesn't even capture it...We serve an incredible God! Here's me and my goofy William, posing with little brother. I got him to take pictures with me by convincing him he could roll his tongue like mom was doing...Guess my boys have a prett...

Jan. 12th, 2012 Potty Training

Image
We've been working with William on potty training. We started seriously thinking about it this past Summer, when he could run around naked outside and watch himself pee (in the grass and not all over the house!). He caught on pretty quickly (to the peeing part that is) and had fun picking different objects to pee on (trees, rocks, leaves...fortunately not the dogs). Then, I decided we weren't gonna push the issue until after brother was born. I'd heard all kinds of people tell me that he would likely just regress, so I figured we'd at least introduce the whole concept and pick back up after Calvin was born. Sportin' the birthday suit while we practiced outside...I'm sure the pool had plenty of pee in it too. We told William that babies like Calvin wore diapers and that he wasn't a baby anymore. I guess this is where big boys wear their diapers...And for some reason I can't find this picture of this one for the life of me (one of William wearing a d...
