RockOURway Beach
most amazing two hours spent walking and watching
the sun set at Manhattan Beach.
gabe hitched his ride on the funcycle.
yes, i have more of these but don't want to bore you with broccoli like the time i made brett sit through an endless slide show of deer eating.
i came out from behind the camera for one eensy second.
sweet boy

a little tree love at fall's creek.

It's Great to be 8!
Brett, Camille, and Gabe at Camille's Baptism!
Dads have such an important bonding role in this day!
Grandpa and Camille!
The GIRLS!
IT'S GREAT TO BE 8 on a cake!
Camille, the Spirit illuminated the cozy Primary room and the fire was felt!
There was much to be said but I wrote it in your journal because it was so personal and important.

what was said in two thousand and ... eleven
we were all in camille's bed listening to each other's heart and gabe says, "everyone's heart in this bed is beating." well said.

my son is making me little sandwiches out of a variety of stale crackers and feeding them to me which basically requires sticking his entire dirt-filled hand into my mouth. awesome!

is it bad that your kid is wearing your dead dog's collar, especially when she never wore it?
Oct. 24, 2011
my son was playing the guitar and said, you can call me victor.
before bed we were hanging out and he showed me a picture and said, "i drew uncle alan as a crab." it was pretty good, too. he always makes me smile.
Oct. 17, 2011
"mom, camille let me use one of her index cards but i messed up making a stop sign that means 'no girls allowed,' but if it is in the middle of the night, you can come in if you want." gabe is willing to take the supplies from a girl and let one in to help him, if it is dark!
Oct. 6, 2011
tonight at bedtime i was telling gabe that shutup is not a kind thing to say and that i love you is. he then said "i hope you don't die" (totally serious) is a kind thing to say. he is a bit obsessed with death lately.
Sept. 25, 2011
so we are eating breakfast and i hear my son say "you smell beautiful." i said, what? he said i tell the girl spiders in the hole that, because they can't hear me. i started to remodel the kitchen, oh, how many years ago and took off the trim and ripped out the vents. my husband is like, it is far better to have a hole to fall in than a rusty vent. well, those spiders are loved.
Sept. 23, 2011
gabe: mom, will there be food in heaven?
me: yes
gabe: will you and dad die at the same time?
me: probably not
gabe: will we run out of food when you die?
me: no, you will be an adult (then I thought, he could be a kid still)
gabe: if you die, me and camille don’t have anyone’s number.
this is what is on my 5 yr. old’s mind at 9:30 in the morn

thank you for the birthday wishes! i really know how to pick amazingfriends. cheers to a lifetime and beyond of awesome friends and my son just made me a birthday lunch which was pretty terrific for a 5 yr.
Sept. 16, 2011
it's awesome that my son just used the sponge I use to wash the dishes to wash his armpits!
Sept. 6, 2011
camille's vision get together went well and we actually heard her say she is excited which made our hearts leap. gabe on the other hand got jacked and began throwing rocks. i am not sure how this kinder thing is going to work out for him. he can't really handle massive amounts of people and activity. visiting mr. k. on the first day of school-a major possibility. i am still clinging to summer nights, laying and playing our i love you more than game with them.

Happy 5th Birthday (tomorrow) to my boy, who really wanted me to take that heli ride! Thanks for joining me in this life! Love you.
Aug.6, 2011

i love how my kids have this band in a van that is really a shed. they rock!
July 23, 2011
my son's cleaning the toilet while we are listening to who says. next time brett goes to sync his ipod, selena gomez will be along for the ride.

my son is like a 12 month old puppy. it was so fun that he was vigorously jumping all over me, wrapping himself around my legs, shaking the chair, bumping into equipment in use, while his sister was in the dentist chair. he is almost 5. i think i have been tired his entire life.
June 9, 2011
somehow camille convinced gabe that she bought the garage sale bear with her piggy bank money. he told me that she went to buy it and said, "i need your money," so to gabe it was her money, even though it came from his piggy. what a bro.

my daughter is never short on creating resources: she didn't have a jump rope so she cut the wire off of an old phone to use. nice.
Mar 27, 2011
hey gabe-"wanna do a fashion show with our man purses?"
(this is what camille said. she made a duct tape wallet at school and then made gabe one)!
February 18, 2011
gabe keeps telling me he loves me under the earth. hmm....
