July Happenings...

Gavin gets mad too. I usually only take and post happy pictures, so I thought I'd post a mad face.

On Sunday, we went to Aunt Jessipoo's house for a bbq. He has a routine; when we get there, he goes to the shelf and carefully removes the picture frames in the front row, grabbing the one in the back of him, then puts the other ones back. He carries the picture around with him. Here, you can see him playing with the horses... on top of his face. Pretty Silly boy!

Then Aunt Jessica and Aunty Jen (Jessica's roommate) came home. Gavin ran over and gave BIG HUGS... Gavin loves his Aunts!

We played with Gavin's new baseball bat. He LOVES baseball stuff. He has a couple bats and balls. Most recently this FABULOUS pink foam bat with a matching pink softball. He has great coordination. He can hit the moving target on the floor every time. It's amazing.

We went to a park last night over in Lynnwood. It's a great park. Gavin likes parks a lot. It's been nice weather here so almost every day after I pick him up from daycare we go to a park to play. It serves many purposes... fresh air, exercise, tiring him out, making him hungry so he eats better dinner, keeps us all happy.

What we've been doing...

We went on a nature walk through a park in Monroe... I've mentioned my Activity Day Girls before... Gavin loved it. He always likes being outdoors with me.

Same night, Yes we're dorks, Jeff, Jessipoo, and Me at the Imax theater in Seattle... waiting in line to see Harry Potter. We were trying on our 3D glasses. Aren't we sexy? Big plastic glasses are hot. I guess I really am shorter then them. Sad :-(

We were house sitting for a friend-- and dog sitting-- and Gavin just LOVES Dogs! He kept going over to Sophie and giving her "hugs" by laying his head on her. He would follow her around forever and ever. Now I know why families have dogs: because it keeps the kids busy. Perhaps it was the novelty of being around it, but I could get Gavin to do anything if I said Sophie would like it.

Braver than I am... Gavin feed Sophie treats. I throw them in the air and the dogs catch them. Gavin likes them to eat out of his hand. Isn't he a stud?

Gavin and Sophie Smiling. They followed eachother all over the yard.

Happy Tuesday

Well, I'm happy it's Tuesday. I have more pictures of our recent escapades I'll post later on. I took a quiz to see which Harry Potter character I am. I did see the new movie in 3D on Monday night...I have pics! Here's my results, feel free to leave a comment with yours!

More July stuff

Most recently, last weekend, I spent Saturday night at a beautiful wedding for my coworker, Andrew. It was really nice-really sweet. Here is Katelynn (another coworker and friend) and I at the wedding, then a view from our seat. It was a great ceremony...ending with "Another one bites the dust" music playing as they walked back down the aisle. Very cute. It was hot, in Wenatchee WA, about 98 degrees at the beginning of the ceremony, the during the dinner the sun set and it cooled of the the best summer night I have experienced in YEARS. It was warm with a breeze...man, awesome!






Then, last night, Gavin and I were invited to a tea party. It was such a blast. He did really well picking up food with these tiny little forks. We had a burping contest which I did not win! Then we played bocce ball and catch until the mosquitos came out and we went inside..then to bed late. It was great. I haven't had a drink out of a teacup since I can remember. Have to do it again...tiny treats and sweet drink. Good company and good games. So, that's about it for July so far. Half way through...wow...less then a month until our AWESOME CALIFORNIA VACATION!!!

July July

Well, that's my foot. That's what I did on 4th of July. I went to Spokane on Tuesday night and spent time with a friend, driving back Thursday. It was great. My foot killed many a bug on the way back...it took a little while to realize what the cool wetness was on the bottom of my foot...then looking through the bug gut covered windshield, I realized what my foot was catching. Nice pedicure job though huh? :)


We went to the zoo again...we ate apples and watched animals...


...Then Gavin fell asleep and we walked back to the car and drove home.



I've mentioned before how much we like to hang out on the trampoline. I like to chase Gavin with my feet and grab him and tickle him or lift him up and stuff. He LOVES a little trampoline play...these are my feet attacking the child!

We've been just enjoying work, daycare, playtime, babysitters, movies, and all kinds of great things so far in July. Fun times.
