Tulip Festival 2008 Mt. Vernon

We went to the Tulip Festival last year and YAY we went again this year. I'm so glad we went! We walked through the street fair - more fun to watch Gavin watch all the dogs and jump in puddles then actually enjoy the street fair. Maybe if we were hungry we would have enjoyed all the greasy food but we weren't so we didn't get any. Anyways - then we drove around all the fields. I LOVE the fields of flowers!!! Next post has some of my favorite pictures. Anyways - love the tulips and daffodils :)... and for fun see the picture I like from last year- Tulips 2007.

FLOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I REALLY LOVE THE TULIP FESTIVAL IN MOUNT VERNON!!!!

Playing in Bellingham

Sunday (yes two days after the really big snow) - it was cool but sunny - we went to Bellingham to pick up Uncle Jeff and hang out. We played at a fun park with a boat. (Boulevard Park in Fairhaven)
And with Uncle Jeff around I got some pictures of me WITH Gavin - and my new darker hair.

Wet stuff

Snow and puddles - I got snowed in at Grandma's this most recent Friday. We got between 8 and 10 inches in Maltby. Saturday I drove home and the snow had already begun melting. Gavin and I still got to play in the snow a bit and then later the puddles that were left. He was so cold - straight to a warm bath. It was a pretty fun time.
Pictures are of my front door - I'm #1! We'd already made snowballs off of the left side of the snow-covered bush. and walked all over. But real snow! And our pink geranium got a little snowy. And Gavin got wet!

'HAT, HAT, HAT'

One day week or so ago as we were driving all of a sudden I hear Gavin screaming Hat Hat Hat... so I stopped at the light and turned around to see Gavin wearing his 'hat' of baby wipes. After saying "Gavin, those are 2 cents each!" I took away the baby wipe container he had nearly emptied to make his hat and let him enjoy it. He's so silly!

Gavin does chores

... and Gavin LIKES doing chores. He's in the 'me do' 'me help' stage of life. He likes to vaccuum at Grandma's especially.

Gymnastics Class

Gavin gets to go to gymnastics with his daycare friends every Wednesday morning. He has become a very good listener and does really well in all the activities. He can touch his feet to the bar (which is good I guess :) ) and do all kinds of fancy trampoline jumps and acrobatic things. Fancy for a toddler at least. The pictures are all so blurry - Gavin was in constant motion and I'm just not that great of a photographer. Maybe next time I'll ask if I can go down to the floor next to them to take picturs. Anyway, he loves it and is good at it. I love watching him do cool stuff.

GYMNASTICS... and other things

Gavin in Gymnastics class.... with the girls waiting and then playing in the foam pit and on the bars. He really is my little monkey boy.
