A conversation with Gabe



Today after Brad and I picked Gabe from school we were driving home in the car and he asked me if I had ever heard of the Salt Lake Zoo. I said "You mean the Hogle Zoo?" To which he replied "No, mum, it's the Salt Lake Zoo and at the Salt Lake Zoo they have this fountain where you can make a wish and it will come true."
"Oh really" I said.
"Yeah but you can't ask for really big things just smaller things."
"Oh that's cool...so Gabe if you could wish for one thing, anything in the whole world, what would you wish for?"
"A baby."

Brad and I just looked at each other.

Some day kiddo, some day!

Till then, I thank God every single day that he gave me this angel. That I get to wake up each morning to this face. When I look at this face every heartache, all the loneliness, sadness, longing and dissapointment vanishes into thin air and is replaced with feelings of absolute grattiude and love.

Christmas 2012 in Disneyland!

Who has the coolest Nana and Papa?...we do! This year Brad's parents took the whole family to Disneyland for Christmas. We had a blast. Here are some shots from our trip.

Christmas morning in CA. Gabe waiting to open his presents from Santa!

 
 Santa spoiled us this year. Gabe was thrilled with his gifts which thrilled Mummy and Daddy =)


Disneyland!!

 
I can't even put into words how much I love this little face
 

Fun with Uncle Blake- we sure do love him

 
Mummy, Aunty Shelbi and Aunty Shanna

 
Best Aunty ever- The little boys wanted to throw coins into the fountain so Aunty Shelbi obliged and grabbed some coins for the boys. Someone had to hold her pants up =)
 
Gabe on one of the roller coasters. He was so brave and we were so proud of him.
 


Not the best pic. I was trying to catch one of the little boys holding hands. I love that Gabe and Andrew are so close in age.

 
We took some time on one of our days in CA to go to the beach. Gabe absolutely loves the beach and had fun playing in the water and collecting shells.
 
 

 
 Lady killer!

 
 
We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family.
