Happy Birthday Gavin
Today we celebrated Gavin's 2nd Birthday ( a day early yes).
We decided that it would be best to just have a family party, just the four of us, and we headed to Boondocks!
It's a good hour and 15 minutes away but it was so worth it. Gavin received a free unlimited pass for his birthday, but due to his size he could only golf and play in the kiddie jungle gym...which was totally fine with him!
We spent a good 3 hours there and we were able to get some great prizes with our tickets, one of which Gavin is surprisingly terrified of (see video).
Half way home we stopped at Red Robin (Yummm) for his B-day dinner, and they gave him a bowl full of whipped cream and sprinkles (per my request since he dislikes ice cream....weird I know), and we left with a balloon for each kiddo.
Man, even with stopping and eating at the half way point, it was still a long drive home with those two....
We did finally make it home to open presents (yes he is spoiled) and have cupcakes.
Now, Gavo loves the Goldfish Crackers, so that was kind of the theme for today. I attempted to make a pull-apart cupcake-cake but it didn't turn out so well. So in case you are wondering what the candle is sitting on it is suppose to be a Goldfish. :)
Gavo tasted the icing and was ready to get back to his toys.
Its been an hour and a half and he is still loving his Cars race track.
Happy Birthday Gavo! My most favorite boy in the whole world!!!!

Gymnastics meet
Ok so "it has been a while" is the understatement of the year.
There are two events that I will update you all on.
The first is Bryton's second gymnastics meet. So here are some pics and possibly some videos of this event.
She has been improving sooo much this past year and has made it from beginners 2 to Gym 1.
There are so many moves that I am just amazed she can do.
She is loving it for the most part but other days it is a struggle to get her to put on her leotard and go.
anyways enjoy!

Easter!
Hey everyone,
Despite dad being gone, we had a pretty good Easter.
This was the first Easter I have had to play Easter Bunny all by myself. I must say some of the fun was missing. Hopefully we won't have to miss Jason over too many holidays.
We we ended up having a lot of eggs, and I only opened up one bag of left over eggs. a total of 45 eggs per kiddo. ya.
I made out like a bandit with the candy, I only paid $11 for $37 worth. (thank you coupons)
Bryton woke up a quarter to 6....ugh.
We woke up Gavo and he was like...ugh too.
But we headed down stairs and found their baskets and gifts at the bottom.
I gave Bryton and Gavin a gift each. Gavin got a froggy pillow pet and Bryton got Crayola Color Wonder Metalics. ~very cool if I do say so myself~
It was a challenge at first to get Gavin to even notice the eggs, he was too busy with his car that he got.
When he did finally start looking for eggs he was in heaven! Eggs here and there, eggs everywhere.
He found about 10 when he finally busted one open and was done. There was candy inside. And no need to look for anymore.
He did pick up a few more here and there but Bryton had to pick up his slack.
Bryton, now last year she found every egg in the house in less than 3 minutes. So this year had to be a little more challenging.
I hid them everywhere, and while she was still really good, we were missing three by the time we gave up. They were finally found, (medicine cabinet, snack cupboard).
We really had a good morning.
We wish dad could have been here. We will see him soon though, and make up for lost time!
We love you Jason!!!!!
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
