Eggs and Gonny

Gabe has been singing ring of fire every day! He gets his guitar, askes me to put on Gonny Cash and makes me repeat 'Ring of Fire' over and over again while he sings along. He's practicing for Nashville Star. He's also very adept at dyeing eggs... left to his own devices he actually made one purple (not a color included in the kit) by first putting the egg in the pink and then the blue and said 'Look Mom, Purple!'.

Springy weekend cont

Well, who cares if a tree fell on the house... the swing set is still there!! A strange dog befriended Gabe while down on River Road. Gabe LOVES tractors! You can see him yelling for help to get up on it. He's a pro at backing them out of barns.

A hint of Spring

Saturday was a big day for Gabe. The weather was nice and temp was around 65. First, Gabe went for a walk with all of us and had a blast running around. Then Memaw and Pa picked us up and we drove down to Golconda, where we checked on the property and took Great Grandma out to dinner at a new restaurant. Gabe even got to play with Emma! He was glad about that. Other than Ayla crying on the way home... he had a wonderful day! I took about 150 pictures of him and it is taking a while to go through them. The pictures in this post are in opposite order.

The underwear

I didn't realize just how cute seeing Gaby in big boy underwear would be!

Making a comeback!

Whew! The Booths have had a tough couple of weeks between ice storms, power outages and the flu! Gabe is really shining today though. He did his school work for 45 minutes straight this morning and has used the potty by himself all day (so far) and is wearing big boy underwear. He's so excited about it, he wants to tell everyone. What a big boy he's getting to be!!

The Third Child

This is "Hot Waddie". Gabe says he is his friend. He especially loves to take naps with him, and so does Ayla. I love Hot Waddie too because for some reason he gets the kids very very sleeepy. I think it is his warm personality.

Its melting already!
