Happy 8th Birthday Gavin!

It started with a sleepover with Gavin's best bud Jayden on a Thursday night. Yes a school night!

Followed by everyone playing hookie for a day at Legoland

 

 

 

 

 

 

And lastly, a family BBQ and singing the day after.

Austen's shoes. She was 1 inch too short to ride the rides so we had to improvise and she was able to ride every ride that day. 

 

Football

Gav has added a new sport to his resume, football. It's kind of exciting, I'm biting my nails off during practice. He is working on qb, yikes!

3 For 3

Don't waste your time trying to grow avocado from the seed with the toothpick method. I have tried for years to grow avocado this method and others. Now, the last 3 avocado seeds have grown by just planting the seed in soil. Easy peasy!
Note: it takes 2-3 months for this method to work, but it is SO worth it!
Going to try grafting one of the plants next year.

Happy planting

PS... One of the seedlings is from a seed from Colombia. Can't wait for the monstrous avocado fruit

Late night ride

4th of July weekend getaway

Great time hiking, camping, and fishing in Big Bear

Lego Fun

Love that the kids love building different things with their legos. I'm so over vacuuming up the itty bitty pieces.... oh well :)
