And we shall call it.... "Off with his head" OH YEAH & GaVIn turns 2

I always like to start with the basics:
Cake: Carrot
Frosting: Cream Cheese
Decorations: Rustic landing strip for adventure plane
Kid: Gavin Cade
Age: Turning two....
(yes its home made cake, taking requests now for anyone who wants a piece. We leave in less than 15 hours!!!!)
Hi my name is Gavin, I had to be bribed in order to get this picture taken of me... Can anyone say I'm two yet?
Ah the good stuff! Grampa's Diet Coke with Lime, my favorite!

In the package - A Big GREEN dump truck!!!! Thanks mom and dad!
What's up there? Not the camera that's fo' sure!
And now for bed time.... They like to play with Brandon and tonight was no exception.. They played a little game of off with his head!
Notice: Gavin laughing, Brandon tickling Gavin, and oh what's that... up in the right hand corner? If you guessed another round of off with his head brought to you by Austin, you'd be correct!

I'm not sure if you could say that I got a late start to the evening yesterday or an early start this morning... Gavin last night just wouldn't go to bed. It was around 10:30 when the little guy finally went into a slumber. Then this morning he woke up at 5am! I thought I was going to die! I had stayed up late to pack the trailer for the Oregon trip so I didn't go to bed till about 1230, I was like what a way to start a birthday.

It turned out okay. I got the house cleaned, ribs smoked, cake made, laundry done, holes patched, animals taken care of, oh and about a million other things that you do before you leave to go places and oddly enough it wasn't rewarding, just seemed like the ever daunting tasks that never end... Sad really.... Not much joy in cleaning I guess... So anyway its over and the kids are down, I'm doing this now because well I don't have any other time left.

Sounds like a fun Birthday (for him not you.) Sometimes my little girl pulls that up late at night and up super early garbage, I no like that. Can't wait to see you!
