The Love of Food

I’ve never seen someone love to eat (in mass quantities) as much as Ben. Dig in!

Water Fun

Sam convinced himself that it was warm enough to pull out the baby pool and water table for a little water fun. I got the boys changed into their swim gear and headed outside. Two feet in the water and Sam declared it was too cold. Ben never got more than a hand in the water but they still had a great time. I guess we need to wait a few more weeks to try it again.

Boo Bear - What's Wrong?

Ben has gotten so much personality over the past month. He definitely expresses his opinions and desires. He can yell NO like we’ve never heard before. He used to laugh at everything that Sam did. He still thinks Sam hung the moon most of the time, but there’s a lot of drama during those moments that Sam ticks him off. We try not to laugh when these dramatic moments occur but sibling rivalry is just funny sometimes.

Weekend Fun

The rain timed itself perfectly today. It came during naptime and then again after the boys were down for the night. But the rest of the day was full of sunshine. We took full advantage of this fabulous weather. I sat in my Scott assigned post, a chair, and observed my 3 favorite boys play baseball, mow the lawn, blow bubbles & run off a lot of energy. What a perfect ending to a crazy weekend!

Future Nobel Prize Winner?

After a year of planning, the fundraiser is finally over! While we were wrapping things up this morning at school, Scott let the boys run around on the playground. He took this video of Ben trying oh so hard to get a drink of water out of the water fountain. I think he's still thirsty!

Bluebonnet Time

I won’t go into details about the process the entire family went through to get these photos taken this morning (lost keys, walking through our old neighborhood to try and find a friend at home so I could use their phone to call Scott, etc)…I’m just so happy that our 2 hour ordeal ended with a few pictures of the boys enjoying the wildflowers. I just LOVE this time of year!

Hoop Time

The boys discovered our neighbor’s basketball hoop this past weekend. Soon we might have enough boys in the house for a full team!

Colorful Eggs

Each year I insist on dying Easter eggs…and each year the process is such a disaster that Scott and I wonder why we even did it. Ben wants to throw the eggs and Sam is getting more patient but he wants to immediately put the stickers on the recently colored eggs and isn’t happy when the eggs are too wet for anything to stick. But the boys had a great time for 5 minutes and we still have a few eggs to show for their hard work.

Fun in the Sun

Though there is pollen on every inch of this city (and we have the coughs and runny noses to prove it), the guys still managed to spend a lot of time outside today. They played soccer and football on the baseball fields and ran around on the playground. They were so sweaty, tired & dirty by the end of the day that they ate dinner, took a bath and collapsed into their beds. Night night, boys!

DA-DEE!!!!

There’s NO question that Ben is in LOVE with his Daddy! He knows how to say a lot of words…but the one we keep hearing over and over again is DA-DEE! Scott is, of course, eating it up...and I don't blame him for one second. You guys are adorable together!
