Gavin's adventures in cooking

Gavin has been very creative since we have been back from vacation. He woke up one day and said "Mom, I have been thinking about a great creation! Can I make it?"

Gavin's creating his creation.

One bite size Snickers (could use a Milky Way)

One toothpick

two marachino cherries

Gavin hard at work!

So I gave him the go ahead and he went on with his plan so here is the first adventure!



Well today he wanted to make dessert and he wrote out his recipe with help with spelling and enclosed is the recipe, dessert and enjoying it!

Vacation

June 21st- Misty and Mandy arrived from Florida.
June 22nd-- We loaded up and headed out for Augusta at 0400. After our normal pit stops we arrived around 830 pm and from then on it was non-stop.
We went to many, many, many dinosaur museums! Camped/fished at the lake for the 4th of July weekend and were not only sunburnt but eaten alive by mosquito's. Took a quick trip to North Dakota to visit my grandparents. It all ended way too soon-- but home now and back to the same old, same old!

The kiddo's outside a diner in Casper. They love the dino's and alligators.

Finally made it to Augusta to spend time with Grandparents!

June-- where is the month going............

So Gavin is out of school for the summer, I am working weekends and playing during the week. Want to take a vacation, want to get yard work done, want to...
Doesn't it seem that the want list always gets bigger and bigger without really knowing it.
Work has been work, lets just say... very stressful and not much fun anymore. I am thinking that a vacation will help. I hope so!
Haven't taken any new picts and the only video I have made was of Gavin singing in the shower and I promised him I wouldn't publish it!

Uncle Mike's Visit

Uncle Mike came as a surprise visit to Grandma and he came with some friends on motorcycles. Well Gavin quickly became a fascinated with the one with flames as you can tell by the pictures. Sadly, I did not have much interaction as I was either sleeping or at work this whole time.
