Love, love, love these two

Gideon is such a book worm!

Times like these give me hope that there may be some sweetness and something good in our oldest child. It is quite hard to see when the majority of the time, he is the worst 3 year old we have ever seen. He can be so so sweet.

Gabriel and Lynae

Rollie and Shannon took us to the firestation and Gabriel got to get in the big fire trucks!!

Gabriel loves feeding Gideon- a big helper

Grandma has Gabriel spoiled. I went up to the counter to get Gabriel his McDouble and he *insisted* on a cheeseburger kids meal with fries, juice box, and apple slices. He was so cute, polite, and persistent I just had to get it for him too.
Well, what are Grandma's for?

Mommy: 'Gabriel, would you like your tractor or your tow mater plate for supper tonight?'
Gabriel: '....tractor, tow mater...... tractor, tow mater...... tractor tow mater...... ?????? (long pause) I guess tow mater would be fine.'




Gabriel: 'Mommy, are these green beans from our garden?'
Mommy: 'No, those are from the store, but the squash and zucchini in there was from our garden.'
Gabriel: 'Yeah, and the kidney beans are from amazon..'




Daddy: 'Gabriel, would you like me to get you a towel?'
Gabriel: 'Yeah! I don't want to freeze my little butt off! I want to keep it safe!!'
