Ben

Ben has become much more talkative lately. Normally he was happy to let sissy or someone else talk for him. But now he's become a little chatter box.

Some funny things he says.

I too busy. (when asked to do something)
Or... In a minute.

Today I got new pink slippers. Ben looked at them and said "you have cute shoes mom"

This morning he told me, "mommy your hair is messy. You should go brush it."

And we saw a mummy at the store. One of those blow up lawn pieces. In trying to tell him the difference between mummy and mommy I sounded it out really slow. So now he says "we saw a mmmmmmmommy at the store"

He is so stinking cute sometimes.

Errands

Today I took the kids to the library and the grocery store while James worked on his paper for school.

At the library, Ben bee-lined for the kids' computer. It is seriously his favorite thing. And how cute is he with those big headphones. Looks just like daddy.

Naptime snuggles

Ben often wakes up from his naps but isn't really awake yet. So I love when he climbs up with me and goes back to sleep.

I know there will come a day where snuggling with mom won't happen anymore. So thankful today isn't that day.

My little photographer

Sariah LOVES taking pictures. I braved it today and let her use my fancy camera for a bit.

Bike MS

My hubby did the Bike MS 150 this weekend. He did 102 miles day one and 38 miles day two. The picture is at the end of day one. It was a lot of training and a long weekend. But super proud of him!!

Got a little something on your mouth

Ben was cracking me up at my niece's birthday party. He really liked the cake as evidenced by his green mouth. Also makes me giggle that this "tourist" shirt is one of his favorites! I try to tuck it back in the back of his closet. But Sariah helped him find it to wear that morning.

Green beans and hot dogs

Green beans and hot dogs are definitely high on Eli's favorite foods list. He loves that he can feed himself (and other than the extra clean up I love it too!). And he's got to be one of the smiley-ist babies I know. I can't get enough!!
