Two good things that happened because I turned 10

(I had Gabe write this post to “pay back my energy” for having to him about our No TV On Weekdays rule again.  I wanted him to describe his 10 year old week with Grandma Dorrie and his Triathlon birthday party.  I left him to do it and it’s kind of hilarious because it’s so Gabe, meaning: very few words and details.  I kind of love it.  Especially the emoticons at the end.)

Hi it’s Gabe, I'm talking about my TEN year old week!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The top two are pictures when was when I was getting my helmet on.

The next two pictures are when I was driving the 4-wheelers.

The 5th picture is about when I shoot with a air pellet gun.

The 6th picture is when I went to the hot springs.

The last two pictures are when I went to lunch at a pizza place.

This is an email my grandma sent my mom.  She wanted me to put it in:

We were 4-wheeling, air pellet gun shooting, and eating at an outside pizza place.  Gabe and I are having fun.  Rick's Aunt Joan was sooooooo impressed with him and how polite and helpful he was.  Rick said she went on and on after we left for Utah.  He's such a great kid!
I love you guys.
XOXOXOXOXOXO,
Grandma Dorrie

I can see why you love it. I love it, too.

Gabe, you did a great job on this post. I want to go hang out with Grandma Dorrie, too! Thanks for sharing the details with us! Double Digits! This is a big deal!

Nothing like having to break through, "duck" tape to get to your present!

Wow how cute is that! My daughter can't wait to be 10. Something about 10 seems SO awsome to her. I hope Gabe really enjoys this next year being 10. on another note Grant moved into my ward here at BYU. how random/fun is that?
