The Zoo x 2

On Wednesday the weather was FINALLY nice enough to go to the zoo so we decided to take our chance while we still had it

 The otters were out and about so we spent a lot of time watching them. They kept swimming right up to the window upside down, would do a flip and them swim away. They kept making the boys laugh so hard.

 Otter- Not a beaver or a rat as certain people at the zoo thought

 Gavin got a map and was actually telling us which way to go, I was pretty impressed

 There were lots of new babies there including these baby ducks. There were also baby monkeys, a camel, a serval and even a little baby joey

 Watching the pelicans

Last year Gavin wouldn't even to near this bridge because it was too close to the pelicans

 "Mom! It's going pee!"

 Chillin on the rooster

 Look what cracked out of this egg

We hit the zoo on Friday just because we could

 We didn't realize until we got on the bridge that one of the peacocks were on it. The boys both froze and got as far away from it as they could. They kept asking why it wasn't in it's cage

Taking it's time to cross the bridge. I have never seen two 4 year old's hold so still in all my life!

Sunday

Gavin dressed himself for church today. I was pretty impressed until I realized what he had on under his suit. It wouldn't have been a big deal but he had to go potty not only once, but twice while we were there which required taking off his shirt, vest and tie every time! Silly Kid!

 

 Showing off his wetsuit

 He even wore it to G&G Fry's for Sunday dinner

Gavin's Blog

Apparently I do to much blogging while Gavin is around because he wants to do it now too. He asked if he could borrow my camera to take some pictures and he's careful with things and knows how to use it so I let him. When he was done he wanted to "put them on the computer with us" (meaning our blog). So these are the pictures that Gavin took:

 His slide

 Swing set

 Bud, again

 Self portrait, again

Bud, for the third time

There were actually about 20 pics of Bud and his eyes, ears, tail,paws etc. but I figured you would get the point

A few things...

Quite a few things have happened in the last month and I realized I haven't done an update on any of it really so here's a mini update on our lives:

Cody found a job HERE, so he won't have to be traveling to Montana Monday-Thursday for work, Yipee! Very exciting day for us here at the Fry house

After 4 years of being in Young Women's I was finally released over Memorial Day weekend. It has been bittersweet. I have spent the last 4 years with the girls and my fellow leaders, at least twice a week (sometimes more). This last Sunday was my first official no more young women's day and I have to say it was rather weird watching the girls and walk out of Relief Society and I stayed where I was. The new presidency is awesome and so the girls are in good hands. I am so glad to have my Tuesday night back too!

We are officially owners of a camper trailer! Our previous camper was a cab over that went in the back of our truck and it was soooo small. We found a 19ft one for a great deal. I had went with Cody to look at it on Wednesday and when I got home from Zumba on Thursday there it was in front of our house. It's in great shape and pretty clean for how old it is and the great news is it's so old the colors will be coming back in any day now!! I'm just super excited to have a camper again so I can have my garage back! Gavin can't wait to sleep in it up on "his bed" so stay tuned for camping adventures.

P.S. It even has a bathroom with a working sink, toilet and SHOWER!!!

Backyard Camping

We decided to do a little backyard camping on the spur of the moment so we set the tent up in the backyard. We got it out and laid out and Gavin asked "How are we gonna blow it up?" Then we finally got it set up and he crawled in and kept saying "I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT!" over and over again.  He was so excited!

 It actually took a few tries to get this because the flash was 

so bright in the dark we both kept blinking our eyes.

 Out like a light!

 Good Morning : )

This one's for Raini!

Erin's Shower

My sister-in-law Erin is expecting twins, yes twins!! To make it even more exciting it's one of each! I went to the trouble of finding names for them and they graciously and giggingly (is that a word?) declined.  So instead of Neodore (Ned for short) and Nester Lou (Nessie for short) they have decided to name them Brigham and Bailee, at least for the time being. They are due the end of August so we will see if they change their minds back to Ned & Nessie!

 A couple of the super cute blankets she was given

She made a hauling! 

Now I just have to wait for them to get here!
