This past weekend we headed to Greenwood, SC to celebrate Gary’s retirement from IBM.  We had a great time with family and are really excited for Gary and Rhonda (A.K.A. Poppy and Grammy/mom and dad).  Gary will be heading to the golf circuit so we are sure to see him playing with the big wigs soon! 

Here is Poppy and his golf cake.  

 

We had a great dinner in Abbeville. Gavin was able to meet a lot of his relatives for the first time.  Here is Gavin and Papaw…we also celebrated his 76th birthday!

 

Two of my favorite boys.  (If you notice, Gavin and Noah had on matching shirts…unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of them together!)

 

We have started giving the boys a bath together.  This is definitely one of my favorite parts of the evening!

 

My two sweet boys…Noah at 22 months and Gavin at 6 weeks!

It’s been crazy at the Odom house as you can imagine.  Many things have gone on so I attempted to include them all in one!

The Most Important Part of the Post…

 

Seleta and Corey are proud parents of Chloe Mae Collins!  She really is absolutely beautiful!

Here is a shot of the whole group!

Easter Sunday

We had a wonderful Easter celebrating our Savior.  Both sets of our parents came to celebrate with us.  We ate well, watched golf and relaxed…it was perfect.  Noah got the hang of hunting eggs very quickly!

 

Golf is in his blood!

 

When David was growing up, his mom made their family a bunny cake every year.  She told me how she did it and I have decided to carry on the tradition.  Not bad for the first bunny cake…

 

Last Minute Trip to Missouri

My mom and dad were meeting Scott, Abatha and Nate in Charleston, MO for a visit.  At first I thought it would be impossible to join them on the trip, but I decided to be spontaneous and go with them.  We had a wonderful time visiting with them.  Noah and Nate were fast friends and Gavin was a big hit!

Abatha’s family puts on a 5K race every year at their town festival.  They have a toddler race and both Noah and Nate participated.  It was too cute.  For most of the race, Noah was just distracted by all of the people cheering for them, but right at the end of race, he realized he was supposed to run and took off, waving at all of the people cheering him on.  It was priceless!!!

Birthday Week

David and the boys made the week of my birthday extra special with neat presents and a great cake.  My mom also came up to spend time with me so that was fun.  I also have the best friends in the world who sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers.  Thanks Morgan, Kristy, Katie, Kelly, Seleta and Kary.  Y’all are awesome!

 

Gavin is One Month Old!!!

I can’t believe 3 weeks have gone by since little Gavin joined the world.  These past weeks have definitely had there ups and downs, but I think we are settling in nicely.  Gavin is a pretty content baby for the most part-he does have a fussy period around 9 at night, but we are learning what "tricks" work with him.  We are looking forward to Easter weekend.  Our parents will join us for what I know will be an awesome service at Foothills celebrating our Savior.  I love the Spring…hopefully the weather will act like it soon!

We had a little photo shoot over the weekend.  I love my little boys!

 

 

We found another great park in downtown Clemson.  My parents joined us for a little picnic.

 

My little man is starting to get a double chin.  His legs are getting some chunk too.  I don’t want this stage to pass by too quickly!
