I have 2 teenagers now.

Happy Birthday to Dalin!

The (not so much anymore) earthquake cake. I quizzed Dalin about the required earthquake cake. It turns out that the falling apart mess cake I normally make is not what is so exciting. He actually just likes all the candy on top. OK, so I did what I could. I made and frosted the cake, (with butter cream frosting from the bakery) and Dalin decorated the cake himself.

We had sunday dinner @ grandma & grandpa's and ended with the really yummy cake.

Grandma & Grandpa gave Dalin 2 knives. He loves knives!

Dalin turned 13 on July 7. Wow, a real teenager.

He wanted to have spaghetti for dinner. Instead of garlic bread, he wanted tater tots. mmmm. Nothing goes better with spaghetti than tater tots. Right?

The missionaries and Gavin & Hayden joined us for dinner. For dessert we had chocolate cupcakes. Dave got out the pampered chef easy accent decorator and filled the cupcakes with frosting. yum.

Rose made Dalin his very own cookie for his birthday.

Gavin had his first sleep-over. The kids thought it would be more fun to sleep in the tent. Instant camp-out in the back yard.

No camp-out is complete without s'mores!

In the morning I took Gavin home after I dropped Jordan off at summer school. Gavin had a good time at his first sleep-over. We did too.
