Gabe is 4!

Gabe got a bike for his Bday this morning and was SOOOO excited!

Ten GREAT things about our sweet little Gabe!

1) He LOVES to wrestle with his little brother and doesn't mind (most the time) that Kent follows him everywhere!
2) He absolutely loves his sunbeams class that he started this year and Brother Carlson (his teacher) is his favorite person in the whole world!
3) Has a funny little sense of humor and likes to do pranks (ie: hiding things down his shirt that I am searching for - bringing me his dads shoes to put on him in the morning:)
4) Is such a social butterfly and makes friends very easily.
5) Hates to get his sandals wet - so funny, if there is a wet patch of sidewalk he makes us carry him:)
6) Always introduces himself as "gabers and gabe"...so funny his nickname is gabers so he thinks he has 2 names:)
7) Such a good little hiker - we go a lot and he loves it...he is a trooper and usually walks the whole way!
8) Such a snuggle bug - he gets very cold when he sleeps and when he wakes up in the morning he crawls in bed with me and loves to snuggle up to get warm
9) Our notoriously picky eater is branching out a bit - he has tried a meatball, cheese burger, baked potato, and broccoli - yeah!
10) Gabe is such a sweet little boy and tries so hard to make his mom and dad happy - we are SOOOOOOO lucky to have him as our son!
Happy birthday Gabers and Gabe:)
