Several months ago (in fact, over a year....I think) we were attending Stake Conference out in Spokane Valley. As we were getting out of the car, Gabe asked "what that tall thing [was] (pointing to a large water tower (which Spokane Valley is covered with))? Before Rob or I could answer, one of Rob's favorite young men's leaders, who is known for his teasing, told Gabe that it was full of hot chocolate. Gabe protested, saying that there couldn't be hot chocolate in there but with 2 hours of persistent reassuring from said young men's leader, Gabe was convinced.
So.....today as we were driving out to the "valley" to watch the Super Bowl with Rob's parents, Cael spots one of these water towers (a big silver one with red and blue stripes around the middle) and says, "Look Gabe, It's a space ship." He repeated it several times while Gabe persisted with a "no, no, no, no, no," until Gabe finally said, "NO CAEL, IT'S NOT A SPACE SHIP........THERE'S HOT CHOCOLATE IN THERE."
Seriously......after all this time he STILL believes that they store hot chocolate in those things.
Funny, funny kid.
Gabe is SO concrete in his thinking and will believe ANYTHING he is told (as long as it doesn't come from Rob or I).
I can just see him 10 years from now dragging his high school buddies up the ladder, on a cold winters night with a promise of "the worlds best hot chocolate."
Hopefully he figures it out before then.
Otherwise he, and they, will be SORELY disappointed.

I just have to tell you how much I love Gabe, He is so sweet to Kendal. I guess Chris yesterday sat Kendal down in her usual place in Sunday school and since we're pretty much inactive He didn't know new year, new class so Gabe had to lecture Chris on how it all works and who Kendal's new teacher is. He set Chris straight. I just love him, you are raising a very sweet boy, good job Mom.
Summer still believes everything someone else tells her. Its so funny! Gabe is so cute. I don't know what to tell you about Cael and sleep other than good luck Gabe. Threats might not work until Cael is a little older. Its not working well with Logan anyway. Too bad they all can't have their own rooms!
