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.

Cell Model

Gavin's class had to come up with an animal cell model.

He envisioned this and made it all on his own.

It is an edible model made out of cake and decorations.

I thought it was very creative.

Dog Days of Summer

Even though school has started, it still feels like summer.

There is nothing better than enjoying the evening outside and watching the sunset. Even the dogs have a great time.

Pack Meeting

Last night we went to Gavin's scout meeting where he received his Weeblo award and a few others. Lots of work for him. One more month and cub scouts is done.

A Snake

I assume from all our rain that we received yesterday that it brought some critters out. Gavin had a couple friends over and I heard them screaming, so I went outside and started screaming with them too. They were trying to catch the snake that had slithered into our garage. Granted it is very small, but did I mention I absolutely, positively hate snakes! Good thing Gavin's friend was here to catch it and take it away. Otherwise we would still be standing on a cooler in the garage waiting for help.

Rain, rain, don't go away. Come back today!

We had a wonderful rain storm,

for about 10 minutes.

I wish it would come back.

My dogs and I were watching out the window.

One is fierce and ready to attack the thunder.

The other is a chicken and climbs all over me for protection.

Football

This is the second week of football games. Last week the team did really well, Gavin scored a touchdown, but they lost. This week they were in Pagosa. This team is really good. But the Scorpions wanted it bad. It did go into overtime and they won. Gavin scored 3 touchdowns. His last one was in overtime for the win on fourth down. Below is a little clip of the game.

(Video is a little fuzzy. I'm working on getting another camera)

School

School has started. It seems summer is shorter every year. Our summer is over now that school is here. So sad. Gavin's last year in elementary school. Maybe it is just that time seems to go much faster. I want to cherish all the moments I can.

Practice

Football practice has started.

Evidence on Gavin's arms.

The Athlete's Tan

Gavin's tan for the summer is the athlete's tan.

Many of you know what that is.
