Ed... I will miss you

Last nights Bachelorette was worth writing about... poor Ed was given an ultimatum from work and I couldn't have been prouder of him for making the right decision. I was just appalled that Jillian made him feel like he was wrong in choosing to go home... seriously, he had a 1 in 10 chance of being picked at this point... yes, he was in my top 3 and probably would have been in hers too... but I don't think she would've picked him at the end (she said it herself when she talked about how she liked yucky Wes because he had a bad boy side.. that's definitely not Ed... he's too genuine)
As for my know top 3... Kiptyn, Reid, and (now been bumped up with Ed's leaving) Michael
I hope Wes gets kicked off next week... seriously? How can she fall for that dude.. he's got sweet talking slime ball written all over him! I can't wait until the truth comes out. And I love how he thinks his career will be boosted from this... I guarantee every girl that has seen this show won't buy his cd... he's an idiot
okay.. I'm done ranting... until next week :)

Hiding

I was ironing this morning as Gavin was playing with everything in our laundry room around me at my feet when it became suspiciously quiet... I started to look around to find him but couldn't... then I heard a giggle in the dryer... look what I found! Classic!

By the way... did you notice his big boy underwear? I bought him both CARS (his favorite movie) and ELMO underwear about 3 weeks ago! He's been so great still with the potty training! I don't let him wear them out of the house yet though... I've been to worried he'll forget to tell me... maybe in a few more weeks! Oh, how fast he's growing :(

Uncle Dallas

Gavin was SO excited to see his Uncle Dallas these last few days! He has moved here for just 2 months while he studies to take the LSAT next month! We are so excited to have him close by! Gavin picks up his play phone a couple times a day and says "Hello? Dallas!" He loves playing with him!

Father and son camp out

Devin and Gavin headed out this past weekend fro the father and son camp out! Gavin couldn't have been more excited! We pulled the tent out a few days before hand to clean it out for the last time we had used it in Lake Powell and Gavin became obsessed with it! Even today he has mentioned the tent probably 3 or 4 times! We'll definitely be going camping a few more times this summer! (Sadly, Devin didn't take any pics so thanks Kacie for this one... Julie, do you have any of my boys?)

The Zoo

Devin went out of town for a boys week in Florida (Disney WOrld and Scuba diving) so Gavin and I decided we deserved to go to the zoo! Kacie and Cade came with us and we had a great time! Thanks Kacie for taking a few pics and getting them to me!

The monkeys were his favorite!

He was terrified though when one of the gorillas reached out to touch us!

The petting zoo was great! He loved being able to finally touch the animals!

"Wanna go for a ride on the scooter?"

I hear Devin ask this question to Gavin almost everyday for the last few weeks after we eat dinner.... and for all this time I thought they were going out and standing/playing on the scooter.... until now! I went outside to check on them since they had been out longer than usual and found that all this time Devin had meant it literally... he had been riding around with Gavin ON the scooter! I about died... but of course I first had to get a pic of it!

I've been behind....

Okay, so I've been so busy with Father's Day tie orders ... and so has Gavin!(see pic).. I haven't had time to post... so sorry about all the posts at once... but here goes my atempt at catching up!

"Sew.. sew.. sew... ties" he tells me :) funny kid!

AIRPLANES!

There are so many amazing things we forget to take advantage of while we are here in living in Seattle.... one of which is the Museum of Flight! So last night we took Gavin down to see it right after Devin got off work... and boy did he LOVE it!I've never heard him yell airplane so many times! (Warning... lots of pics!! I figured some of you would like to see what they had to offer in that huge museum)

This was my favorite! The Spy Plane! It looked like a space ship!

They had a real airplanes, helicopters, and hot air balloons for kids to pretend to fly!

The WWI and WWII exhibit was probably my favorite! They had the coolest looking planes... these were 2 of my favorites!

The also had a Space exploration exhibit!

Next time you're in Seattle.. it's worth the stop! :) (or you can just show your kiddos these pics!)
