Pictures are worth a thousand words, so here are as many as blogger will let me put on....Of course, these events happened in the exact opposite choronlogical order...first two are sideways, but between all this, running to Kokomo, rehearsal at church and bleaching my entire bathroom today, I'm too beat to fix it. First three are Gabriel opening 2nd birthday presents.
The girl in the stripes is my lovely niece Sammy. (above)Drew looking on making sure Gabriel has the proper gift-opening technique.
Gabriel Robert and Pappaw Bob....they look alike. Can you tell in this picture??
Gabriel, Pappaw Bob, and my mom's father, affectionately called Granddad. He and Grandma had just flown in from seeing mom in Montana.
Evan after birthday cake.... :)
My home-made (and thus FRUGAL) birthday cake.
Gabriel was so embarrassed after we all sang "Happy Birthday" to him that his bottom lip quivered and he started to cry...until he GOT some cake.
Before the party we raked leaves. This is Luke buried in them.
And Drew took his turn being buried...but Evan wouldn't let it happen. Didn't like the leaves on his face...so no picture.
Luke Jacob
Evan Stanton
Chad Andrew, or "Drew"
They had a blast! At one point, they were swinging and flying off the end of the swing into the leaf pile! I was sure we would have broken appendages...but God portected...and they laughed and laughed. Drew's first attempt was REALLY ugly...
This was before the first jump....(Drew, Luke, and Evan...but you probably can't see him - he blends in...hehe)

Your kids are so stinkin' cute! It's a shame your not going to try for a girl... He he...
Tell Gabe we said Happy Birthday. Some day we'll have to get all eight kids together and play. Wouldn't that be fun?
love the photos of the kids in the leaves.. how fun!
