Gabriel's 13th Birthday

Oh my gracious, another teenager in the house! Of course, Gabriel has been displaying those tendencies for quite a while. Now, he just has a legitimate excuse.After a reminder phone call from my mother-in-law, and a suggestion from my hubby, I rushed to Baskin Robbins and got Gabriel a praline ice cream cake, which by the way was AWESOME. Thank goodness, Gabriel had been on a campout and wasn't home at first. I was able to come home on my lunch break, and drop it off. However, he was asleep, exhausted from his long weekend. After I got home later that evening, Gabriel and I had some fun together.
Gabriel didn't like that his Dad had to work.
He missed out on our craziness.
Surprise! I even made Gabriel some homemade ice cream: banana/strawberry...YUM! Gabriel is taking a shopping trip this week.
Making a wish with the Dandelions. He almost caught one.
Hoping Gabriel's life will be full of roses. And, not too many challenges.

Those pics were awesome! =) You've only got a couple of teenagers and they're all boys. My parents had 5 teenagers at the same time and 4 of them were girls! Aaahhh!
