April Quote Book

Well, Briggy dominated the Quote Book this month. He's at that perfect age, I guess, for saying constantly hilarious things. He makes me laugh out loud. . . er, unless he's being naughty - which is also a constant!

Me: Brigham, where did you get all that cuteness, huh? and those strong muscles! Thanks for your help, kiddo.

The boys were racing each other home from school. After several races of coming in last place, Briggy finally came trotting back to me with his head down.
