Thumb Sucker

Benton has discovered his thumb!! This is bittersweet...he can now self-sooth, but we will have to invest in braces if this continues throughout adolesence. I was a thumb sucker so....ENJOY!

Two Little Mommies

My girls are my little shadows. They watch very closely, everything I do. I didn't even notice until we were running out the door...they each had their own baby secured in a "Sling" the same way I had Benton.

Tom and Jerry

We just found out that Benton loves to watch Tom and Jerry cartoons. I think since the cartoon is put to music and there is no dialog it keeps his attention. I already have a TV junkie.

Ice Blocking

Last night was "Date Night" so I thought I'd get creative and plan an evening of fun. I asked Garrett to pick-up some ice blocks on his way home from work and he did NOT want to do it. When I asked him WHY? he said that we were all going to get hurt and it didn't sound like fun at all. Well, come to find out, he had NEVER been ice blocking before. When he saw that you just sit on an oversized ice cube and slide down a grass hill he changed his tune. He thought we were going to slide down the street!!! This poor farm boy didn't get out much. HA. We had a blast and our kids loved it!

It took 3 kids to push the ice block up the hill. Great work-out!

Children's Day

Tori had Children's Day at school. They got to run races, play games, and eat lunch...all compliments of the school. Tori is only in the pre-school class but she told me she is a big girl now and not my baby. (sniff, sniff). She was so cute while running the races. Tori asked me why she didn't get a "badge" so I explained that she had to cross the finish line first to get one. Well, someone overheard that and gave Tori one of their "badges." So sweet. It made her day.

New Additions

Our two horses had babies this week. Tori named them Duke and Little Red.

Crazy Day!

This week at school it is Spirit Week. Today was "Crazy" day. Tori was so excited to dress-up crazy. She giggled all night saying, " I can't wait to see what everyone else is wearing tomorrow." I can't believe I have a child in school!!!!
