Gabe Turns Eight!

Gabe turned eight years old on the 20th of May. He is now officially a cub scout! He also had his last soccer game of the season last week. They lost but they tried hard.

For Gabe's birthday this year, he wanted a shopping spree at IKEA instead of a birthday party. What a funny kid - but I couldn't complain. Not having to throw a part makes my life easier. He ended up getting an art easel with a dry erase board and a chalk board. He also bought paper, craft supplies, paints and markers. He was a like a kid in a candy store - so excited! Then we had dinner at IKEA. I love their hot chocolate - it's the best!

Because that was on a Saturday, we had a surprise for Gabe on his real birthday. We decorated the house, bought an ice cream cake and gave him presents. We had pancakes for breakfast and he got to choose his birthday dinner. He wanted cooked spinach and salmon. So, I made some homemade bread to go with it. What a healthy boy! 

That weekend it was also the father and sons camp out. Gabe and Manuel, along with all the boys and fathers in our ward went camping. So all the girls went and had some fun of their own.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GABE!

The girls and I went out for frozen yogurt during the father and sons camp out.
