From Arkansas

I snuck away from the grandparents (all 4 of them) to burn a CD of pictures. Here are a few of what we are up to.
Great Grandad Gardner, Gavin, and Grandpa Bill are completely enjoying the thousandth picture of the day!
Gavin and I spend a lot of time playing. It's so nice to be on vacation and only be concerned about playing with Gavin and listening to stories from the old folks. I'm completely enjoying myself.
MaryAnne is a wonderful photographer...always catching me in motion, catching the action!
Gavin has spent a lot of time just chilin with Grandpa. He's made himself quite at home here in Arkansas. I've had a run in with a tic, poison ivy, and the humidity, but still love Arkansas.

Way Too Many Zoo Pix to Choose from....

Super Fun Zoo Trip! Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle...I forget how much fun animals and zoos can be. Not a very warm day, but had a great time...Elephants are amazing but they didn'tdo a whole lot. Why does my face do so many things?
The Group: Aunt Jessipoo, Grandma, Grandad, and Gavin...and Stacey the photographer. Look! The sun came out!
I loved the giraffe's 2nd best. They are such odd creatures! Gavin didn't care as much for them as I did...we did bring a stroller, he just was never in it.
He would rather take a ride on Grandma's shoulders. Gavin LOVES Grandma!
Another sideways one, oops. They were running around like crazy people. Gavin was just GIGGLING.
Gavin lilked that I made him play with the statues. I think it'll be fun to see how he grows compared to the height of the stautes over the years. I highly doubt the zoo will take them out, so we can just measure him every year against the little gorilla....I thought it was a genius idea! :-)
My cute little munchkin...
Adorable? I love this...yes staged of course, but it was totally funny. Wow, more pictures of him with statues then the animals. Oh well. I had too many to choose from. We had a great time, this was a few weekends ago. We went to a delicious Chinese buffet afterwards. Every time I go I say NEVER AGAIN I AM TOO FULL...but then a few months later, I forget and go get stuffed again. I love that Gavin is able to actually enjoy these places we go. It was especially fun to watch Aunt Jessipoo (real name Jessica for the record) enjoy Gavin. Good Times, Bring on the next adventure, like Arkansas in 3 days!!!

Still catching up on Pictures and stuff...TULIP Heaven

Tulip Town, in Mount Vernon, WA...thousands and thousands of Tulips...loved it. I used to be a florist, remember? Tulips are great, one of my favorites! The sun came out, brighter then I expected!
Gavin running around, fun to watch him and watch people watch him
He got tired...Later that day had a really high fever, so he was a little sick here...Pretty tulip fields!

I love the color combinations, had to include it. They are just so gorgeous!
Well, I've caught up on all the pics from the last month I think...Do I have more then my sister yet? Probably not haha. I have a few from the zoo trip maybe but we're just doing our normal stuff, working, playing, eating and sleeping. And enjoying 95 % of it every day! Much Love to all....

Tulip Festival and Other Pics...probably the last new ones for a month! :-)

Gavin's favorite, Jumping on the trampoline! Every day he wants to jump, he starts bouncing his legs before we get there... It's fun. I don't mind doing this activity with him at all!
Oops, sideways...with Grandma's hand...can you tell he's a talker? or screamer....
Loves his farm, LOVES his farm...I think I loved it too.
His favorite thing at the park, walking up the slide...safer then stairs? Debatable.
Tulip Festival...like I said earlier, Gavin had just as much fun running in the grass as looking at tulips. Uncle Jeff LOVED chasing him around with me. It was great fun...
