Gavin turns TEN!!

Double digits for this sweet boy!!  We started off the morning at the district SPELLING BEE!  I could NOT believe the words they were throwing at these kids!!!  Unfortunately, he got on the first round but ended up as an alternate for the Pinal County bee.  

He chose Cafe Zupas for his birthday lunch!  I let him decide whether or not he wanted to go to school at all, since by the time we got back from the Spelling Bee and lunch, he only had 2 hours left of school!  He didn't want to miss all of school that day so I dropped him off.

Gavin is not a fan of frosting, EXCEPT for my chocolate frosting on the best chocolate cake.  He's probably had this same cake for the past couple years!  He had a small bag of mini Oreos and requested they go on top in the shape of a 10~

Time to open gifts!

Gavin has been BEGGING for Bean Boozled!  There are Jelly Belly jelly beans that look like the normal flavored beans, but some are barf, grass clippings, skunk spray, baby wipes, dirty socks, dog food, etc.  I've always wondered who is the lucky person that gets to determine how these jelly beans should taste???  Blech!!

A new 3DS game that he asked for

10 yr old boy - pranks - best thing ever

That face!!

THE GHOST

And, in keeping with the 10 years old birthday tradition, a pellet (BB) gun!

Gavin is still the sweetest thing.  He's so go-with-the-flow and usually is a pleasant kiddo to be around.  He is quietly smart, doesn't really make a big deal about it.  I'm so curious to see where this kid ends up one day with his big brain!  He has the cutest, freckley face that I love so very much.  Happy Birthday, Gavin!!!
