{Gavin gets Baptized}

February 1, 2014

 

Gavin's baptism day was wonderful.

He looked so cute in his whites.

There was such a nice spirit there.

 

On the information sheet read by the Bishopric:

favorite primary song:  The Golden Plates

favorite scripture story:  Daniel in the lions den.  He liked this story because there were lions and they didn't eat Daniel because he prayed.

favorite food:  Mom's homemade pizza

3 words that describe Gavin:  Happy-go-lucky, kind, & responsible.

3 interesting facts about Gavin:  He has a pet tarantula named Zenda Peterson, he likes to be in the kitchen cooking, & he can do a pretty good Nacho Libre' impression.

 

These pictures were taken after we had gotten home from the baptism.  This is everyone who came.  Helena was the only one from my side of the family who made it, everyone else was from Kurt's side of the family.  My parents are away for a month long excursion in Hawaii.  yeah, it's a rough life.
Speaking of Hawaii, there was a girl in another ward who was also getting baptized.  Here is her Hawaiian middle name:
Kaleilaailimapuamaokala
For reals!
 

After the baptism, we came back to the house and had milk and cookies.  These flowers were the only picture I got of my cute display.

 

Everyone hung around and went to the Isaac's and Gavin's basketball games.  They both played really well.  And then we went and ate at IHOP.  It was the perfect day, really!

 

{Party Time}

Gavin invited 6 friends over for his birthday party.  We had an ice cream/cup cake decorating party.

First on the agenda was to make the aprons.  They turned out really cute!  I used my Silhouette to cut stencils, and then the boys painted their names and mustaches on.

Then we decorated cupcakes and made ice cream concoctions with a million toppings.  We played sixes, a dice game, to see how many toppings they got to put on their ice cream.

 

I had other games lined up, buy all they wanted to do was go outside and play guns.  OK.  Go right ahead!  They LOVED it!

This handsome fella is another year older, and will be getting baptized soon.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

{Lady Killer}

They always say, "One man's trash is another man's treasure."  Well lookie what I found in the trash can today!  I couldn't let this little gem be held captive to the junk yard.

I always knew that Gavin was going to be a lady killer, but I guess I didn't expect it to start this young.  Remember that girl that held Gavin's hand at recess a few weeks back........

She must really have the hots for him.  That's a pretty forward picture she drew of the two of them in their wedding duds.  I just hope she hasn't made invitations and sent them out to their class. 

{Mad About Gavin}

{Gavin}

Gavin is loving all of the christmas stuff that they are doing at school. He insisted that I take of picture of his gingerbread house before he ate it.

Here he is with his gingerbread house and deer antlers that they wore when they sang rudolph the red nosed reindeer to the whole school. He thought that was so cool.
