This is Gabe's favorite mode of transportation. We have definitely gotten our money's worth out of it. We are on our 3rd summer of Power Wheels fun and still going strong. Gabe drives, Molly rides in the passenger seat, and Kate rides sideways in the back. Now, they have fun going around and around the house since we don't have any grass and occasionally get in a little four-wheeling! I caught Gabers working on his car one morning and had to get some pics. Do you think he has seen his dad do this a time or two? Look at the cardboard box he is laying on! Just like dad.
Trying to get a picture of Gabe's self performed haircut. I don't know what possessed the boy, but he cut his hair one day. Hopefully he never does it again! He was so embarrassed that I couldn't get a great photo. Here are the ones I got! He got a buzz cut at the end of the day.
Here, we are all bricked, just waiting for the rock. Where you see wood, we will be putting rock. I hope it all looks good! I am really liking everything so far.
Every year at this time, we have a pluthera of birthday cakes. Jeff, Molly, Gabe, and Kate all have their birthdays within 5 weeks of each other. Here are the cakes that I made for the kiddos. Jeff never gets a cake for his birthday, poor guy, because none of us can stand the sight of a cake by the time we get to his birthday. I am thinking about buying an ice cream cake for him this year. That would be super yummy!! None of the cakes turned out the way I would have liked, but they all tasted pretty good. This cake above, I made for Kate's birthday. There was so much candy on it!! It was any kid's dream!!
This cake we made for a party we had with Jeff's family. Kate is a huge fan of Mickey.
These cupcakes we had for a little party we had for Molly and Gabe.
This was what Gabe wanted for his birthday cake. It is my best at trying to duplicate Grave Digger, Gabe's favorite monster truck.
Molly wanted a princess cake for her birthday. This was the best I could do. I used a snowball for the princess's skirt and then put the body of a princess down in. Molly loved it, but you can tell that I was running out of steam towards the end of the cakemaking.
We are trying to be happy with the way it is turning out. We are loving how the house looks from the outside, but are not loving how small all the rooms are on the inside. It'll be nice, though. We'll finally have a yard.....focus on the good!!
