Birthday week

As you can see, we have had a busy week leading to Ben's second birthday. I borrowed the "Gram Cam" and have some pics of when Mommy has been at work.

and some cherry tomatoes...

every two year old boy needs to wear fur lined snow boots in July
and a bicycle helmet for a 11 year old girl...





Floating in the pool with Kennedy
I wonder if Ben wanted a helmet for his birthday??
Ben calls himself "Hollywood" when he wears sunglasses
Check out the turtle next to our driveway


Finally, a helmet that fits! Now Kennedy and Colin can have their helmets back :)

As you can see, he wears it everywhere!
That's safety...mowing with a helmet! Can you tell his mom is a nurse?
Nonny and G took Ben to an exhibit the other day


They went to a show about Ben's favorite book...
And rode the merry go round

Party and zoo

Jake and Jack had their 3rd birthday party a couple of weeks ago. I didn't take many pictures...and not even one of Jack! Ben had just awakened from his nap and was a little drowsy..

Can you tell which mommy forgot the cowboy theme?



We went to the zoo last week with Daddy! Ben was so excited to show him all the animals.

Ball, VBS, Zoo...

Storms have wrecked havoc on our internet connection and the time I usually update my blog...so here is a random assortment of the last couple of weeks. Ben is sleeping in!! Colin had his last baseball tournament on Monday night...what a game! We packed a picnic and cheered him on! Ben and Kennedy...Colin at bat Mammaw playing ball with Benjamin Last week was VBS at our church. Benjamin had a wonderful time playing with his friends. He came home with some crafts and he is so proud! What a busy week! Registering on Monday morning... Can you tell it is the last morning? Snack time! On stage Friday night at Family night! Not so much a performer....no worries, Cousins Jack and Jake stole the show in their song :) Check out the deer outside our back door Look at the spots on the fawn!! Every time Ben walks near the door, he looks for deer now!! We trekked to the zoo yesterday morning before the afternoon storms hit....humidity 100%, temperature 95...Benjamin and Ella having a blast...priceless. Ben wouldn't ride the camel on the first pass by, but decided to ride it later. Unfortunately, they were on break and he didn't get to ride... Benjamin pats the bunny We played in the indoor exhibit for a while to cool off...

Do you think....

Benjamin is ready for his afternoon nap??


Have a great weekend!
