Snakes, books and Vacation Bible School

They found and killed a snake...

We got Gabriel a pedal go kart! It was made in West-Germany, so it was made before 1990...back when they still made good quality products!

Cary and Gabriel's Camping Trip

2 weeks ago, Cary & Gabriel went camping with a group of guys in Arkansas. Mommy had the house to herself for 2.5 days! They had a great time together, but Mommy sure missed them! Here are some pictures Cary took with his phone.

 Gabriel went fishing for the first time!

 Swimming in the river...

 Hungry boy getting a sandwich...

 Zzzzz

 Gabriel chatting with some of the guys.

 Tired boys on the way home...

Party, peaches and other pictures

Gabriel's best friend Anderson recently turned 5 and had a birthday party at a park.

 Gabriel gave him his first box of Legos!

 Gabriel and another friend from church, Drew.

 

We got a new rooster from some church friends (they could not keep him within city limits). Here he is running away from Cary on his first day here!

 Catching tadpoles that Daddy brought home...

Peaches from our peach tree! We have frozen, canned and made jam out of them.

 

These are a few of my favorite things...

May Pictures

May 12th was Cary's birthday, and we made him a cake. Gabriel chose the theme and did most of the decorating!

 A wild hog, because their favorite show to watch together is 'Hogs Gone Wild'!

On May 12th we went to visit Papa & Nanni...

 On the way home...

Cary found a copperhead (poisonous snake) in a pool!

 Needless to say we did NOT release it back into the wild...yikes!

Monster pops in the freezer!

 So silly!

 Good morning!

 New puzzle we got at a garage sale!

Pretty chickens

Gabriel loves to help Daddy in the yard...

He loves the little chicks and is always hauling one or two around the yard!

 Love this one...look at the dinosaur eating the chicken!

  Right before he jumped off...the new carpet makes for a soft landing! 

It's darker than it looks in this picture.

 Had Life Group at our house again, so Chuck-E-Cheese night for Gabriel & Cary!

Admiring Legos at Wal-Mart

 

  He bought a Lego Space Shuttle with the money he's been saving all year!

Happy boy!
