Gator Down!!!

Have you had a chance to watch our 2nd year montage yet? If not, you can see it here.

I was literally MIA for three days trying to get it just right. It’s 3 months late, but regardless it’s finished! Yes, it’s time consuming, but I had so much fun pulling it together. It really brings back memories. [Funny thing, there is a picture in it of Luke wearing a pair of my shoes. I had totally forgotten about those shoes…. I hadn’t seen them in months! I found them in their box up in the top of my closet yesterday, lol. Not exactly the ‘memories’ I was referring to, but funny nonetheless!]

Some of my favorite parts are the video clips with Aidan pushing Liam around on the little green gator. We pulled that gator out of a box when we moved from TX to Vegas… right when they were around 10 months old. They have been playing with this thing ever since, and it has been their absolute FAVORITE toy. This is not just any old gator. This gator has been with us since Christmas, 2003. Yes… it was ELI’s gator… He got it when he was 16 months old. (Notice the resemblance to Aidan in this profile shot???)

Here are a couple of shots of Aidan & Luke playing with it the last 2 mornings…

Notice anything missing?

I think our poor gator has finally met its demise. The steering wheel is now beyond repair. Not only did the screw come out, it looks like it’s been thrown around so much the base is bent to the point of no return. I wonder if they still make these things??? It will be a sad day at our house when this finally makes its way out to pasture.
