A HUGE Thank you to all my dear friends and family members. Thank you for what? Thank you for your love and patience with me over the past 2+ weeks that I have been unbearable, absent, air-headed and just a pain!!
I have just finished successfully directing my 2nd Vacation Bible School. Our Church had 122 children in attendance and it was indeed a success.
So for all of you that have left me messages, emails, etc and I have not responded I truly apologize, I am slowly uncovering myself and plan to be back to normal as soon as possible.
Please know that I dearly love you all and truly thank you.

Camping Pics
Here's pictures from our camping trip from a few weeks ago. . .I just realized I hadn't shared them yet! oops! We went camping with our friends Marshall & Lisa, and of course thier twin boys Carson & Parker. The boys weren't too sure about the sleeping arrangements. They had to cut their camping trip short, but I think they'll be ready by next summer. We still had a great time. Gavin loves playing with the boys, and the boys enjoy him. . .as long as he doesn't play tackle football with them again or give them too many "bear hugs". . .ah the gentleness of a two year old boy. . .Thankfully Marshall & Lisa are very understanding and patient friends.
Here's part of our campsite. We borrowed our neighbor's pop-up camper. We love that thing. . .we gotta get one someday!
Here's the "fun quarters" of our campsite--playyard is a MUST with little boys!
Here's Gavin & Daddy looking out the camper looking for the horses. We had a horse pasture right beside our campsite. . .Gavin thought that was so cool!
Unfortunately the horses were not too friendly and we had to be careful when petting them, but Gavin & the boys really enjoyed watching them. . .
Gavin really loved "helping" with the twins.
No camping trip is complete without Tractor transportation!
And here's a camper at heart. Sittin by the campfire playing some music on his guitar and eating graham crackers. . .didn't even wait for the roasted marshmallows!
All in all Gavin thought the trip was great!! We'll do that again soon!

Get Ready. . .
For Picture overload!
I've been very "lax" lately with the blog, so here's my marathon post with lots of pictures to update on all we've been doing.
First, Gavin has such a great sense of fashion. . he's his beloved rain boots that he begs to wear every day. And of course his Daddy's hat!!
We enjoyed a visit to the Horse Show. . .and a necessity for any show. . Popcorn!
We had a great playdate with his buddy Robbie. The boys (& Moms) have so much fun together. . .just hanging out!
Had a fun visit to Mimi & Granddaddy's house one weekend. We picked squash out of their garden! Gavin was such a big helper!
Here--let me pick one
I got one!
Wow this bag is heavy
You carry it Mimi, I got to find something else to get into
Let me reassure you these skunks are plastic yard ornaments. . .
And it's a good thing, because Gavin LOVED playing with them.

Five Funnies for a Friday
Wanted to share a few things my funny child has said this week. . .oh out of the mouths of babes (especially Two year olds!)
1) He was playing with his Bob The Builder Duplo set and overheard his Nana (while on the phone) say "Praise the Lord" and out comes. . .
"Praise the Lord Bob the Builder!!"
2) Gavin has become quite interested in "his" house. "Where is my house?" "We go to my house?", etc. We were leaving the house to go run some errands the other morning and out comes. . .
"That my house? Bye Bye My House. . I love you My house. . ."
3) While playing with his friend Madison they were doing a "salute". Madison would count off. . ." 1-2-3-4-Salute" then Gavin would repeat. . .
"5 - 2 - 4 - 2 A-loop"
(Yes, he knows how to count)
4) While sitting at the dinner table we usually "review our days" with each other. This always starts with me saying "Daddy, how was your day". . .when we were finished last night Gavin paused, then looked at Dave and said. .
"Daddy, how your day were?"
5) Most of you know that my child has a TRUE OBSESSION for Fire Trucks. They are his favorite thing in the whole world. Now he finally knows what the man is that drives the Firetruck (For a long time they were called FireTruckMan). When I say Gavin, what do you want to be he replies. .
"I want to be a Pire Pighter, I drive Pire truck and spray water on fire, it's HOT!"

Happy "Half" Birthday to you!
Thursday was Gavin's "Half Birthday"! He was officially Two & a Half!
I baked him half a cake and we had a little "party" after dinner.
We had 1/2 a chocolate cake with two and a half candles! It was fun. . and we sang!
"Happy Half Birthday to you
Happy Half Birthday to you
Happy Half Birthday dear Gavin
Happy Half Birthday to you!"
In case you were wondering. . .NO there were no presents!
Yes, I am over-the-top-goofy! But my two year old LOVED it!!

Best part of the day: Watching Gavin light up when he saw that cake with candles! It was precious. He's getting so big!!

Painting Fun
Mom & Gavin are enjoying a couple weeks of a "less hectic" schedule before all the "Summer fun" begins for Mommy at Church. We've enjoyed some home "projects" including finger painting! (Can I tell you how much LOVE Crayola's Color Wonder!!??)
Here's some pics of Gavin's masterpiece from today:
Notice the tongue. . .closely resembles a close male role model of Gavin's, whom I won't mention any names to prevent embarrassment. . .
Working hard, yet thoroughly enjoying it!
And the finished Masterpiece. . .it's a fridge door jewel for sure!
He's so proud!
Best part of today: Getting to spend a little time with my munchkin. . no schedule to keep to and taking our time! Life IS good.

How to build the PERFECT CheeBurger
Gavin gave lessons this morning on how to cook the best Cheeseburger (CheeBurger).
First, you have to look really cute
Then you have to get the appropriate attire on
Get your cooking tools ready (microwave)
Use LOTS of dip-dip (Ketchup)
Yes, even more ketchup (his Daddy would be SO proud)
Does that look like enough ketchup? NO! Needs more!
Looks "YummyLicious" to me!!
Taste it out. . .
And be sure to follow up with our new "Monster Face"
And THAT is how you make the perfect CheeBurger
