We loved going to the POOL and swimming our hearts out!...well technically I lay out and the kids swim! :)
Drake loves the Pool too!
This was our 4th of July...by the pics it looks like the dead of winter...but we were at the Coast so what more do you expect!?!
We had a lot of fun hangin with Nick's fam at their beautiful new coast house on the fourth! Over the weekend we ate GOOD food...shopped...went to the freezing cold beach...saw some awesome kites...watched some good flicks...and just RELAXED!!!
Gavin had a FAB 8th birthday!!! He was baptized...on his birthday to be exact...he thought that was pretty cool! Earlier in his birthday week he had a party with some friends...we took them bowling and to RR! Then after his baptism on Sunday we had all our family come over for ice cream sundaes!! The kid got way too many presents!! I can't believe my little boy is 8! Can we just freeze time!! Please!!
The weekend before his birthday Nick and I took Gavin out for a special night...just the 3 of us! We went to Burgerville and then the American Idol concert!!! WOW!!!... I had so much fun!! I think more fun than Gavin did!! Although Gavin is a HUGE fan!!
Gavin's FAV..David Cook!! We had great seats!!!
We also had some great visits from Nick's family from South Dakota! This is Aunt Jan (Marilyn's sis), me, Marilyn, and Jenny (Jan's daughter)! It was a good visit...and so fun to see them! And Aunt Jan I know your reading this...tell Spence thanks again for putting up with Gavin!
Spencer (Jan's son) and Nicko! Uncle Gary and Aunt Deb why didn't we take your pics??
This was our camping adventure... with no other than Shalyse and Brian!! and also my family! I didn't take many pics?!? For those of you who haven't noticed yet...we kind of like the O's!
