The Big Three!






Gaby's birthday is today and he's three years old! We celebrated his birthday yesterday with this special construction truck cake he selected at the bakery. It had dirt, trucks, and lots of blue icing -- his favorite things.

We also watched the Super Bowl -- Daddy and Grandpa were for the underdog Cardinals. What an exciting game. Gaby sang Happy Birthday along with the rest of us, and then serenaded us with 'Ring of Fire'. Nana and Papa sent the movie 'Walk the Line' so he can watch Johnny Cash over and over again. Gaby also got a truck with trailer and four wheeler that reminds him of Papa's four wheeler, a firetruck, a dinosaur/car racing track he and Christian can enjoy, and a keyboard. He also received a very nice truck book and truck toy from his friend Tyler.

We love you, Gaby!

Here's a special birthday haiku from Grandpa to Gaby:


GARBAGE TRUCK


It lifts the trashcans
Real easy shaking them out
-- Noisy crushing sounds
