Chris's Twin!

Have you ever seen Man vs. Food?? Adam is really Chris's twin! I am telling you! Some of the things this guy likes and does is just like him! Chris thinks that this show is great because its one of those things you ask yourself, "Why didnt I think of that?". Chris would LOVE to tour the country trying new foods at all sorts of joints and telling people what he's found and what to get! A food critic of sorts! Right!? (refer to our Boise getaway post!)

That being said... I have the BEST ideas! :)

I think he should start a blog like it! The Taste of Twin Falls, Idaho! Only LOCAL restaurants!! YOOHOO! (that is what we go eat at anyway, we hate the chains) We have a pretty good video camera, so I could be his side kick when we go out on dates and video him talking to people in the restaurant and go back in the kitchen and all that jazz! Plus trying the best foods to get and it would be a guide for all the thousands of visitors we get. hahha. Ok, we actually do get visitors because we have these and this. Awesome! We could make some money blogging too! See, I think of the best ideas!!
He especially loves it when I make up some cool thing for him to do!
It takes a certain kind of man to be married to me! THANKS HONEY! I love you!

Gabe's Bike

I told about the bike, but I didn't have pictures of the bike. Now I do.

Here is the bike he used to have....

Here is the bike he has now! HOT DOG! YOOOHOO!!

 He wants to show the difference in size.

 And how well its received!

Don't try this at home!

This is what happens when you neglect all the laundry while trying to figure out how to advertise a business.
Each basket is 2 loads. I would love 2 dryers today, but its raining and so I cant even use the clothes line. This doesnt even show the 3 loads already done! hahah. Crazy!

I wish I could just design and sew all the time and just sell stuff like that. BUT it requires lots of time doing other things too. Dang it!

Another instalment of dinner conversations

We were talking to Isabel about her Young Women Personal Progress. She said that there was a 12 year old young women (just like she is) that has a goal of getting her entire final recognition before she is 13 years old. We thought that was amazing! She did to.
Then we asked her what her goal was for her to get hers and she said, "Before I graduate from High School". After we stopped laughing to tears we both said, "We are so proud of you that you make totally reachable goals!"
Gotta love it.
hahahahahaha!

Hanging around after school

Addy rides a bike......

FINALLY!!!

I wont remind you how old she is, but she is finally riding a bike with no training wheels. When Gabe got his bike, she decided to jump on his old one. There is magic with that bike! Everyone has learned on that bike. hahah. Another key was Grandma Linda was here and it was about 15mins with her and... whalla! She could ride! Grandmas are the true magic! How many times was I out there with her? Countless! I am just sooo happy she finally did it! Yahooo!

But, Charlotte was wondering why she couldn't go as fast as Addy could! She was yelling after her. Our little street echos when you bellow and so Char has figured that out and practices all the time. I am sure all the old people on our street really love it. :)

Oh yeah! I have a 10 year old BOY!

This year I decided that we are going to do fun parties with just our family.

So, naturally, everyone talked me into it meaning having only 2 friends over for a sleepover. :)

Its no wonder that Gabe likes video games. Wow, how did that happen? Oh, yes, because father like son. :)

He really likes Mario. He wanted to have a Mario cake... out of cupcakes. He really meant that he wanted little mini cupcakes and each a different color to make pixels to make Mario. The kids have been watching way to many episodes of Cake Boss. Isabel is helping and it turned out pretty good considering that I am not "Buddy" the cake boss and I ran out of powdered sugar. hahah!

(if you know me, now a days, if i run out of something I am in no way running to the store. I just improvise!)

See, the kid is HAPPY! We served it the morning after the sleepover for breakfast!

Happy Birthday Gabe!!!!

And it's yummy and gets a thumbs up from Bea.

A Bike!

Gabe always looked like he stole some little kids bike. Oh, but it was his own. We just never got him a bigger bike. So, we gave a shout out to see if there was anyone in our church ward that was getting rid of a bike. Yeah! We found one! How cool! We fixed it up a bit and gave him a cool recycled bike! No one in the neighborhood has to wonder about his integrity any longer. He didn't steal a little kids bike, he's got one that fits! :) One more point for good parents. yes, i am keeping track.

For his actual Birthday I made Gabe a coconut cream marenge pie! Yum!!! He likes that too.

He claims he had a great celebration for his 10th birthday! :) Awesome! Love ya boy.
