GO MARINERS

Well, Last week was a great week...got 2 Mariners games in...I love baseball games...at the stadium at least. On Wed I watched the Mariners shut out the Pirates with my fabulous coworkers and on Sat I helped the Mariners root Griffey on from cheap seats. I pick great games to go to! Saturday I brought Gavin too...he loves Baseball. I bought him his own little glove and ball that he likes to hold in the car. So cute. He slept through a few home runs...but enjoyed the rest of the game. Here are some pics:

Spokane for Fathers Day

Jeff drove with Gavin and I to Spokane to visit my dad for Father's Day. I love road trips, even short ones. My dad and I like to play with beads. Lucky for me...so does Gavin! He was so funny putting all the strings around his neck over and over and over. We had a great visit. Gavin also LOVED the swimming pool at the hotel. Everytime we walked by he did the ASL sign for MORE and pointed to the pool. Next time we'll have to spend longer in that pool!

Putting them on....

Sitting Pretty....

Being tickled by Grandpa's Beard....

Jumping on Stacey's Back....still light enough to feel good :-)

Zoo Trip

Here we go, we were at the Zoo with Rebecca, Jeff, and Grandma. It was a nice day. Nice to be out and about...we just wandered and enjoyed eachothers company. FAIR WARNING: I bought a membership for Gavin and I so I forsee many more zoo pictures in the future months :-)
The GORILLA

Picnic Lunch...Gavin was just so good all day. So much fun to be a Mom for Gavin at the zoo.

Heather Lake Hike

Awhile ago we hiked Heather Lake. It was great-embrace the exertion! The bottom was a little chilly. We climbed high enough to get into the snow (Stacey did not like this as much in tennis shoes and cotton clothes). It started raining and was really wet at the top. The lake was beautiful-but I would like to back in the fall when the snow has melted and we can walk around the lake. One of my favorite wildflowers, trillium, was everywhere. In purple or white it has 3 petals and 3 leaves. Very pretty.

What we've been doing...

Well, here's some more...I got on a download kick and pulled all my pictures off the cameras.

This group is of my 8-10 year old Activity Day Girls (some of them) we went to Baskin Robbins for 31 cent scoop night. We meet every other week and do awesome things. Last week we practiced lighting a fire and played games and made smores. We've done sewing, fashion shows, games, letter writing...all sorts of fun things!





Gavin making a mess with his popcorn...of course it's more fun to eat after being dumped out all over everything! And after church one Sunday (I think) he crashed. It cracks me up when he sleeps like this.

Pictures Pictures

So here are some recent things...hope I get the picture matching descriptions...I'll just put all notes here:
Gavin's first chicken wing...yummy! Notice the haircut? Yup, no more girly man curls. He's got big studly man hair now.

Hm, Notice Jeff's Uncle button? He only goes out with me with the button...got tired of being called dad...the girls liked him either way really.

For people that want more pictures of my beautiful face...there's one of some friends and I before going dancing a few weeks ago. I like these people. We have fun together.

Gavin likes going down slides! Sometimes I go with him to help him stay upright-and sometimes he goes by himself. He's growing fast but still small enough to do all kinds of fun tricks on the way down-like going upside down head first down the slide. Good thing I was there to take his picture and catch him at the bottom.

And riding in a car...Growing up up up, Gavin is very tall and very opinionated-one of which he got from me I guess. We are doing well, working sleeping playing...going to Spokane this weekend and enjoying a visit from Rebecca (sister in Utah) and her daughter Katelynn for a few days for JEFF'S GRADUATION!!!! He made it to the end of high school. Way to go Jeff, LOVE YOU BROTHER MAN!!!

Are we sick of Gavin Pictures yet? Here are more from Arkansas
