July 4th Weekend

I started packing for our camping trip this weekend. We will be gone Friday-Tuesday. I realize I probably should have started packing earlier, or at least planned out what exactly we would all need. 5 days is alot of food/beverages/clothes/etc..I am really excited to go though and I can't wait to relax with a nice cocktail by the campfire with friends and family!

Right now im off to meet David at Sam's Club/Cosco, not sure which one we are going to, but I have to huge list of stuff that needs to be bought!

Everyone have a wonderful 4th of July!

Best Friends

Is it weird to say that my 2 1/2 year old honestly has a best friend? besides his daddy :)
Last night we had TJ, Shawna and the kids over for dinner. It was the first time Reilly and Gavin had seen eachother in two weeks! They sure missed eachother and played until 8:30pm. We have all been so busy with commitments this summer that it's been hard to get together with eachother! Hopefully this will change now that most of our prior engagements are starting to come to an end! Here are a few videos of Gavin and Reilly playing on the tractor!

Our Weekend

I am so sad that this weekend is over! It was such a nice and relaxing/enjoyable weekend! Friday David, Gavin and I went out on the boat for a little while to get it started and to make sure everything was good with it! The thing started up right away! Pretty good for not being out on the water for two years! The sad thing was that Gavin didn't enjoy it like he used to. He was pretty scared and kept thinking that the boat was going to tip over. He held on so tight the whole ride and kept asking to go home! He did enjoy throwing crackers to the ducks though! After that we went to dinner @ Olive Garden, we have had a Gift Certificate that we have been wanting to use for awhile now, and it seemed like a perfect night to use it! Gavin was so well behaved at dinner, it was probably the best he has been since he was a baby and would sleep the whole time! His reward was a nice chocolate sundae! After dinner the three of us headed over to St. Mary's Hospital to visit Barry, Heather, and Rylyn, their new baby girl! She was so cute and tiny! I love being able to get a baby fix every now and then!

Saturday afternoon rolled around and Jen and Brandon came to visit! We took them out on the boat that afternoon and had a blast! Grammy and Papa were so generous and watched Gavin. We were originally going to take him out with us, but due to his dislike on Friday we decided he wouldn't like it very much!

Sunday was a very nice and relaxing day as well! David had a one track mind of getting things done around the house! Man, when he sets his mind to something he really doesn't give up! He put up shelves in the garage, and our bathroom. He put the new screen door in, AND...while I was at the grocery store with Gavin, he decided to organize and clean the basement, AND...he even got the spare bedroom organized!!!! I LOVE MY HUSBAND! He was one determinded guy yesturday!

Later that evening we went down the street, layed out blankets and chairs and watched Rhythm and Booms! It was a perfect ending to a perfect weekend! Gavin really enjoyed the fireworks, as well as David and I!

MJ jokes

Yes, I think it is a shocker that Michael Jackson died. But...I thought I would share some really funny jokes (in my opinion) that I heard!
#1. The autopsy confirmed it! Michael Jackson died of food poisoning. Guess he ate a 12 year old wiener.
#2. Due to the fact that Michael Jackson is 99% plastic he will be melted into logos for kids to play with.
Hahahahahahaha. I thought I would lighten the mood :)
I do however think it is more sad that Farrah Fawcett's death seems like chop liver compared to Michael Jackson's. On GMA this morning it was 95% Michael Jackson and 5% Farrah
:( It's going to get real old, real fast!

PUKE, shocking, sad

Is it sad that I learn about recent news on Facebook before I hear it on the news/t.v.? I come to think so!

Brett Favre going to the Vikings - PUKE
Michael Jackson Died - Shocking
Farrah Fawcett Died - Sad
