the young mind.

these are my little nugget cousins.

well really they are my cousin's kids.

what is that to me?

i pretend they are my nephews all the time.

they {gabe and gavin} are the

most creative

children

ever.

i miss them lots when i am away at school.
but... i got to see them this weekend.
but...i miss them more now.
but...i am dedicated this post to them. {the craziest pretend nephews ever!}
here are some silly encounters i have had with them...
gabe. {aka gabie baby or old gabie}
one day gabe asked me 
hey did you see my halloween costume?
me:  no.
gabe:  oh.  courtney did.
then he walked away and drew a rocket ship with arms made out of plastic forks.  

silly boy.

gavin. {aka gabin}

on taylorsville dayzz, during the firework finale, i swear i heard a baby crying or some sort of animal {most likely a raccoon} screaming.
"what is that screaming noise?" i asked.
"oh that's gavin yelling 'aliens'," said steven.  
apparently fireworks come from space.  or they come from gavin's imaginary planet
orkon karmicus...or something crazy like that.

these boys are one of a kind.  and i love them for that.

oh their baby sister malia {who i heard gavin and gabe call mowgli this weekend...} is just as lovely but she has yet to do anything as crazy as her big brothers.  she has high expectations...imagination-wise.
