Silly Day...

Blowing Bubbles in the Bath...

Ha Ha! Here is Benjamin wearing my Halloween Costume wig...at first he would not put it on because he said it would make him look like a girl...and I have to say -it does! Isn't he beautiful! ???

Every morning Benjamin and I lay in bed for a while talking...about his dreams,... about his thoughts, ...about what we are going to that day...yesterday we booked tickets to go visit Lilly and his new couisin Audrey -so this morning I was asking him..."Who are we going to visit soon?" "Conard?" "no",... "Eddie?" "no"... "Vic?"..."no"..."Vic was sick with a dick prick stick... That ryhmes mom!..." "Yes, it does!"...

Zoo Daze...

Today was the first REALLY nice day of the season and Benjamin and I met some friends (one of his soccer teammates) at the zoo...It was awesome to see the flowers starting to bloom...

Easter 08

I spent all morning cooking and then we went to Sonja, Scot and Jake's for

Easter dinner and the Egg hunt... Jake got a dune buggy, and Benjamin loves it!!! He has been asking for something like this for a long time...

Close up, ...how about the new haircut?? I love it!

Goofing around...



Easter morning, Benjamin was half awake searching for his Easter basket...left by the sneaky Easter rabbit...he had alot of questions this year about the Easter bunny..."does he have a sled?", "No, he hops...", "Where does he live?", "In the woods..."..."How does he know when to come and hide the eggs?"...because he saw another hunting for them before we did..."He is magical..."

Happy Easter Everyone!

Sat March 22 Haircut

This is a pic of me right before I got my haircut today. Mom had a tough time deciding whether or not to cut it...

Mom is also having a tough time writing this like I am the one writing it and trying to use my words...so, she is going to switch gears and start writing it from her point of view!

We had a really good day...tonight we went to dinner with "Uncle" Jeff and Daddy at BW'3's and on the way home I said to Ben that I had had a really good day and I was very happy that he was such a good boy at dinner...and all day for that matter-his reply was "Shucks mom, Thank you!" :-)

A Day of Playdates Fri March 21

Today started with an Easter Egg Playdate with our Mommies Group...I was so excited! There were lots of eggs to find! and candy to eat! but I was really good about sharing~

Then I went to Grant's house and played for several hours...


and then...I went to Jake's house to play and we dressed up as Super Heros (we are wearing Scot's shoes...)

Don't we look cool?


We will protect you!

Happy...
