What a fun day!!! It was a GREAT group of women and great food and wine. It was exactly how Kelly wanted to spend her last single days.

Big Gage with Sadie (Mama Brook helping him out)...

What a GREAT daddy Brenna has!!! Geromi woke up at 7am after a late work night to drive 2 Hermit Crabs into Wimberley so Brenna would have a pet to walk (OK, well Brook drove him). Thanks Papa for the great pets.

Brenna first asked if she could take "Bonnet" our tree lizard that lives on our back porch. You know you have had a lizard house guest for a long time when it gets a name from your kids.

New problem is Brenna wants a new puppy. I cant bring myself to replace Kana yet but I do see a new furbaby someday in our future.

Little G's Birthday Party...

Gage Alfred Trudeau Then and Now...






At Cabelas (the new field trip location) checking out the giant fish tank...



Since we couldnt fish we thought they should shoot! Such boy stuff! This is at the shooting gallery with Gage and Jackson watching the daddys shoot!



Unwrapping presents but not letting go of the new goods.

The Lake Cake...

The girls in daddys boots...

The boys who will someday be able to fill those shoes...

Get ready...

GREAT job Gage...

Geromi giving the kids rocket rides. Check out that line...

Of course Texas has had the dryest, longest drought season in years but it started raining just in time for Gages fishing party! So, we changed location and our generous family all drove here last minute to help us celebrate!!! Thanks so much to everyone for being so flexible and letting Gage be in the spotlight.

Where did 3 years go???

Happy #3 little Gage...

Our very long 3 year old posing by his goods (and one for sis of course)...

A birthday huggie...

Daddy and Gage checking out the new tool bench...

By far his favorite toy...

And what every 3 year needs his own drum set...

Daddy and sissy rocking out...

I guess we graduated from baby Gage...

No matter the name we LOVE you so very much!!! What an extra special day to be born on. We not only get to honor you but the date. You know I tried so hard to schedule my c-section around 9/11. I thought what a day to call your own. We love it!!! We celebrate and remember and are extra grateful for all that we have. So Gages birthday is not just about him its our family, our God, our freedom and our love of our country. Its just such a special day to us and means so much more than any other day would have.

WE LOVE YOU GAGE!!!

Happy Birthday Little Man!!!

From the Carpool...

***A little back info to the "story" is we have suspected mountain lions in our subdivions***



Now picture 3, 5 year olds having a conversation.




E-My daddy saw the mountain lion tracks. REALLY!

G-(giggles)

E-He really really did and he even saw the lion!

G-(keeps giggling)

E-It was right behind our new house!

G-No it wasnt, that was a joke. Me and my daddy went and bought one of those sicks with a paw print on the end and made all those prints. We were just trying to trick you!

Brenna-Well, my daddy can drive his 4 wheeler over there and run over all your prints.
