new craft project

So, Gabe really likes for his buddies to have shirts on and we were using some of Gabe's old newborn shirts, but they weren't really cutting it. I told him I'd work on making some shirts for them. This is the first one, which I ended up hand sewing because I couldn't get my cursed sewing machine to work. Leah, help!!! Anyway, I don't think it's too bad for my first attempt. It'll only get better from here, I hope!

Playing outside...love summertime!

Another video...Gabe has been enjoying whenever we water the grass/plants. He certainly turns it into an adventure. After he's soaking wet, we just put in his jammies.



We had a good day/night. We watched Finding Nemo tonight and ate some ice cream for a treat. Gabe helped me make a felt "carrot" pictured below.We've been working on making some felt food when we have time. He stuffed the carrot for me. It's nice when he can help. He's in bed now but still jabbering a bit.

Happy Father's Day to Nathan, Popaw, Grandpa, Tim and Chris!

Gabe the builder

Video...not sure if this is going to work. Give it a try!

another trip to the zoo and slip n slide fun

Too many fun pictures! It was hard to narrow it down. We had such a fun morning at the zoo and then an afternoon on the slip n slide.
Up close and personal with the giraffe!
Cute boys!



On the train. The look hot and tired already!
Nice view of the pelicans. This was right after the pelican finally decided to move off the track so we could continue on.
Good thing this wasn't real! Hello in there!
Cooling off in the backyard on the slip n slide.



My attempt to get another picture of all 3 boys. No such luck. =)

zoo today

Busy day. Gabe got his ears checked at the Dr this morning and got a perfect report! His hearing is 100% and there's no fluid in them! Hooray! Then we went to the zoo for a couple hours. Gabe most wanted to see the zebra. We enjoyed their new "Giants of the Savannah" exhibit.

yet more pictures

Here are a few more pictures that I finally got off of our camera from our Houston trip. These are from the Aquarium (first day) when I didn't have the memory card in the camera, so these were in the internal memory.

Feeling the stingrays:
Gabe the explorer!
On the carousel!
Ferris wheel with view of downtown
The following pictures are from the pool today



Gabe enjoyed the water which is good because we start two weeks of swim lessons next week!

Really, REALLY BIG Sam Houston

On our way home we decided to stop at this 67 foot statue of Sam Houston that is in Huntsville Texas right off of Hwy 45. Hilarious. We decided not to stop at the infamous prison museum. =)
