Gavin's Birthday and Easter!!

happy Birthday Gavin!!! Gavin is now 5 years old! I can't believe it! My kids are growing up so fast!! Gavin is such fun kid. He is a sweetheart and is a very loving person. He doesn't like anyone to be upset with him so he is (almost) always eager to please. He loves to play outside with his dog and he loves to wrestle and play games. He is so good to Avery and is such a good helper to make sure she is always happy. He is in pre-school and cannot wait for Kindergarten to start. He wants to be just like his dad and loves anything to do with the outdoors. He is so fun to have around and we are so grateful that he came to be a part of our family!! Our weekend started at Mark and Sherin's house. We stayed there on Friday night so we could go to the easter egg hunt Saturday morning. I was so upset because I forgot my camera but luckily, my mother-in-law had one I could borrow once we got to her house. So, Saturday, we went to the easter egg hunt, then went to Grandma and Grandpa Anderson's house for another easter egg hunt and lunch. We were all there except for Erick and Leslie so it was good to see everyone! We had a birthday cake for Gavin and home made ice cream- then we went to Kaysville where we went to Boondock's for Gavin's Birthday. It was so much fun! Before we went to Boondocks, Gavin opened his presents. He got a big inflatable deer target, some nerf guns, a camoflauge fort, and a semi truck. In the Boondock's parking lot.
I did Avery's hair 4 times that day and she kept taking it out so I gave up.

Riding the go-kartsAvery Loved the carousel-can't you tell??
eating pizzaWe played laser tag and a bunch of arcade games too! Tage was a maniac! He won 1700 tickets by himself!
Gavin Playing with uncle JordanAvery was feeding tinkerbell some treats and they must have looked good becuse she decided that she wanted some too! Yuck!!

We had to email the easter bunny and tell him to come to Grandma Sill's because we wouldn't be home and luckily, he found us!! The kids got some fun things in their baskets.

He left a big surprise in the garage!! A new trampoline!! They can't wait to get it set up!! They had an easter egg hunt at Grandma's house
Avery thought she was in heaven- She LOVES candy more than any kid I've ever seen!!Mackenzie and Gavin both got a basket full
We had an appointment to get Dallas's truck fixed on Monday because we have had trouble getting it to start, so we planned on staying till then. Monday came and went and the truck wasn't finished- They said they could get it all done on Tuesday- Well, tuesday afternoon came and we find out that the problem was bigger than we thought and it was going to take 2-3 more days and $4, 000 to get it fixed. That was NOT what we wanted to hear. After 5 days, we were so ready to go home (and I am sure John and Shelley were ready for us to go too- thanks again for letting us stay) so we took John's (Dallas's dad's) truck so we could get home and we will go back in a couple days to pick up our truck. Aside from the problems with our vehicle, we had a great weekend!!
