Abe gets to thinking

Abe and Allison are eating left over brownie batter together

Abe-Mom, I love Jesus

Allison- Why?

Abe- Because he is always making me. Do you love Jesus?

Allison- Yeah I do

Abe- Does EVERYBODY love Jesus?

Allison- Well no, some people don't think he is alive

Abe- but we know he is alive

Allison- Yes and we are very thankful to him

Abe- Well, he is always really handsome!

This is what happens every time we purchase something from Ikea.

IMG_0438  Have not found a "mom purpose" for the darling octopus purse yet, suggestions?IMG_0439

This is from my birthday, I got great presents plus some family. In this picture I'm showing off the beginning of my "mustache laser fund"

We learned this eater that Abe really doesn't enjoy jelly beans.

So this blog is really a journal for me, I want to remember the time in my life when every time I get out of the car Abe wants to help.   .   .with everything.

 

 

Abe quotes

"Mom did you know we are going to camp in two places?! I am so decided!" a.k.a. excited

"Mom why does the sky move?" "Well where does the wind come from?"

"MMMMMmmmmm! this is the tastiest dinner ever!"  We were eating salad and the only thing he would eat where kidney beans dipped in ranch.

"Dear Heavenly Father, please bless I won't fight with Kaleb"

Is that supposed to be a giant log coming from Abe's butt?

No! From this mean face you can clearly tell .  .  .it's a dragon tail
