Birthday Boy

Today my boy turned 11.

My how the time has gone by.

This morning when I dropped him off at school I honked and yelled Gavin's here.

So that totally embarrassed him, which I wanted.

I took him pizza for lunch and he forgave me.

He requested chicken cordon bleu for dinner and creamsicle cupcakes.

After football practice he opened his presents, which were mostly books.

He is thrilled about that.

Happy Birthday Fuzzy!

More Football

Football is still going on. That is our life right now. Gavin's team lost Saturday to Aztec by a touchdown, but they did so well. Gavin scored 2 touchdowns. He is up to 11 for the season.

It's coming

Although fall is officially a week away, we have been cooling down in our area.

My trusty tree out front lets us know when the seasons are changing.

We have had rain, which we have needed.

Today we got a good hail and thunderstorm.

Mesa Verde

Saturday Gavin had a game in Cortez. (A great game, but they lost by 4 points).

On our way home we stopped at Mesa Verde to check out the ruins.

Of course I didn't have my camera, but

Shane had his mini one.

We were only there a couple hours and you really need to spend a day there.

It was Gavin's first time, so we plan to go back.

Hunting

Shane and Gavin went hunting this past weekend after football. They both enjoyed walking around and looking for elk. On one of their breaks from hiking Gavin laid down to rest and promptly fell asleep. A lot of hard work for a little guy, but totally loves spending time with his dad and exploring.

Football

Gavin had another great week at football. He scored 3 touchdowns. This game was kind of a blowout 47-7. Last week they beat Durango too.

Their team is doing well (3-1)

Just a highlight of one of Gavin's tds. (Dumb tower is in the way)

Canvas Silhouettes

I saw these on Pinterest and thought what a cute idea. It is a DIY project found here.

Gavin says it looks like him.
