Today my sweet little boy turns 4. He is getting bigger and bigger each day; we keep telling him we are taking his birthday away and is he not allowed to get any bigger. A couple of times I have even told him he could only have water, because anything else we could give him would help Gabe grow. If only we could freeze time. Gabe always makes us smile with his sense of humor.
Madi thinks Gabe is funny - especially when he sings and dances. Gabe loves swords, archery, fishing, Star Wars, football and he is excited about hockey. Today was his first day of hockey. When he puts on all of his hockey gear he thinks nothing can hurt him, I hope that's true.
Gabe is tender hearted. Whenever Gabe sees someone sad, hurt or upset, he'll always be the first to put his arm around them and tell him it will be OK. Yesterday, Grandma Katholyn told him that he wasn't allowed to get any bigger. his response, "It's OK grandma, even when I get bigger I can still give you kisses."
We had a great Halloween. Gabe was a ninja and was excited about it until his birthday party and he opened up a new light saber - then it was all about Star Wars.
Madi was a spider princess.
We did not do much trick-or-treating because the kids had so much candy from the Halloween carnival and Boo at the Zoo. Instead, we visited Slick, the horses and chickens for over an hour.
The kids had a great time feeding the chickens grain.
Chasing the cats.
And Slick is always a treat to pet. He gained 300 pounds over the summer, so he now weighs in at a whopping 2800 pounds. He's huge.
Madi even placed a sweet kiss on this poor old cow.
