Summertime

Gavin and I were in Albuquerque and we went to the zoo. It was very hot, but we had lots of fun. We wanted to jump in with the polar bears

Gavin had swim lessons this month with Leah. He complained everyday, but he had fun.

Look at that dive!

Utah Trip

Gavin and I took a trip to Utah to visit Aunt Sam. We had lots of fun. I got new shoes(yay!). I took Gavin to Boondocks for some fun because he didn't like all the shopping. As many times as we have gone by "hole in the rock" to Utah and back we have never stopped. So Gavin and I deceided to stop and climb to the top. It was way cool. Steeper than I thought. We had to take a break.

Last Day of School

This is Gavin's favorite teacher so far, Mrs. Phillips. He loves her. She is a great teacher. Firm but loving.

He is so excited for summer break!!

Backyard Paradise

Shane has been making our back yard a bird sanctuary. We love to sit and watch all the different kinds of birds come into the yard. They don't fly away anymore when we go out there. We even have a critter that likes to come eat.

My next birthday present will be a telephoto lens so I can zoom in on the squirrl.

Birthday Present

Here is one of my presents, more to come ha ha! We finally got a patio table after years of wanting one.

Piano Recital

Gavin's first paino recital. He has been taking lessons for a few months and loving it.

Two trouble makers before it starts.

This is Gavin's wonderful piano teacher, Sis. Moeller. She is very patient and loving with him.

More Gardening

Nothing exciting happened this week, but we are taking care of the garden. Fuzzy likes to help the water get around the plants. So more pics about gardening. School's out next Wed. Yay!

Gardening Time

We planted our garden. Gavin and Sam were helping me with the watering. Yummy vegies!

Another Tooth!

Yay! We are so excited. Gavin lost his second tooth. We were at church tonight and Gavin told Aunt Tammy it was loose and she wiggled it and it came out. No pain. We'll see if the Tooth Fairy leaves any money.

My Suck List

Here are my 20 things I suck at. I thought this would be hard, but I bet I can whip up 20 things no problemo....




#1 I suck at holding grudges. I inherited this from my mom.




#2 I suck at calling my dad. I didn't even call him for his 70th birthday. I just emailed him a birthday card. How sucky is that for a daughter to do? I didn't call my mom much and now I can't ever call her. I have to remember this when I think I have all the time in the world to call. Life is too short.




#3 I suck at playing with Gavin. He is mostly on the computer, but when he is not and asks me to play, I tell him I am busy doing something else. He'll be grown before I know it and I'll wish he would play with me then.

#4 I suck at procrastinating. I want to stop now and do the rest later.

#5 I suck at not standing up for myself.

#6 I suck at having too many shoes. Who needs all these shoes? They are all cute, though.

#7 I suck at lying to my husband about how many shoes I have. And if I get a new pair and hide them for 2 weeks, when he asks me if they are new, I say no.

#8 I suck at feeding my husband. It has been too long since I made dinner.

#9 I suck at dieting. I don't even know what that word means.

#10 I suck at exercising. This goes along with #9

#11 I suck at not listening to my son (That one was from him). He has been trying to get my attention for the last 5 minutes.

#12 I suck at not sharing my feelings. I love my family, especially my neices, but don't tell them enough. Sorry you have a sucky aunt.

#13 I suck at not saying my prayers enough and telling Heavenly Father how much I am thankful for.

#14 I suck at being too anal about the house being picked up and yelling at everyone when I have to go around and pick up their stuff.

#15 I suck at communicating. I don't call my family enough.

#16 I'm a sucky friend. I don't keep in touch. That is probably why I don't have any friends.

#17 I suck because I eat when I'm depressed or stressed or happy or anytime really. That does not help my diet problem, dang it.

#18 I suck at wanting too much in life and not appreciating what I already have.

#19 I suck at the computer. I just had to re type this list because I did something and it went away. So it has taken me twice as long to suck.

#20 I am done sucking. I am changing my life. I don't want anymore tagging. It feels like I just went through a therapy session!

I took the liberty of posting this picture. Hope that is okay. I just had to show Sam and Morgan at the Fun Run at school this morning. Morgan was an awesome big sister to run with Sam and coach him along. Sam did really well, but is too hard on himself. Good job guys!
