Wow Gavin is 8. There have been many days since he was born that I didn't think we would make it. We had a great little party at home for him, we had sloppy Joe's, root beer in a bottle, and chocolate cup cakes (with a little surprise inside). The highlight of the day for Gavin was when Jay came home from Twin Falls and actually stayed the whole night. Gavin got his long awaited Nerf Bat and Ball so we headed outside to play. After playing a small game Gavin pitched to Kaelee and she connected with the ball and it hit the neighbor's roof and rolled into their rain gutter. Now on regular (or older styled) homes the rain gutter is a Meir 10 feet from the ground, but in our neighborhood they are all 15 feet high. So we borrowed a ladder, that was 10 feet tall and attempted to free the ball. All the while Gavin was sitting in the middle of the lawn bawling his birthday was ruined. The best Kodak moment was when Jay was standing on the top (The 'this is not a step' top) leaning, stretching, and sweating trying to get the ball as the neighbor pulls up. Oh their faces were unforgettable. Jay got the ball, the neighbors laughed, and the birthday was saved. Hopefully we will have a friend party on Saturday, then Gavin get baptized on June 5, 2010. Wow we are getting old.
