Fun Dip

A summertime treat in February courtesy of Aunt Amy! Ben's first Fun Dip. Probably not his last :)
Apparently bicycle helmets enhance the flavor of pure sugar. He wouldn't stop long enough to let me take it off!

Finally...

warm enough to go to the ZOO! We met some friends and had a great time playing outside.

Benjamin and Ella posing (it was still a little cool, notice the mittens and hat!)

I don't know what this face is about
or this one
checking out the chimps...looking for the new baby, George
George came to visit! He is 1 1/2 years old and hilarious! He kept jumping up and down, licking the glass, and making noises at Ben and Ella--it was quite a show!
Reading some papers


Ben is showing George how to jump up and down (or fhwump as Ben says!)

suckers!

Sliding, sledding, and snowballing

Ben and I tried to sled (or snowboard, as Benjamin calls it) this morning after it snowed. Unfortunately, we waited too long and the snow was already melting. We took advantage of being bundled up and played on the slide and swingset before heading home. The last time it snowed, the big boys had a snowball fight so Ben wants to throw snowballs now!

Valentines

Benjamin decided to color and sticker his own Valentine's cards this year...he was so proud!

Concentrating....
