I just don't have the time to do this blog thing. I will continue to try.
The family is well, Ben is growing like crazy, and talking up a storm. He hasn't always enjoyed watching TV, he would watch for a min. or two, then be off to get in to some trouble. But, he is loving Dora, Blue's Clues, Max and Ruby, and some movies that we have, and is a fan of everything on PBS. For a while we were on a kick, of watching only Christmas movies, but he as moved on. He loves sweets and chips, so no he is not a good eater. He was when he was a baby, but if we tell him,"this is what is for dinner, you eat or go hungry", he will go hungry.
I wonder who he gets his strong will from?(DADDY)!!!
Van is teething, Yuck- for everyone, but is still a happy boy. He can hold his own with his big brother, and sometimes gets some cheap shots in, when Ben isn't looking,(those are really funny)!
Bryce is still flying and LOVING, if-me not so much. He is a trooper with supporting me with all my busy callings, and Volleyball on Thursday nights and doing hair sometimes in the evening and some Saturdays, we DJ the dances together, and even some dates. He is a wonderful husband!
I am obviously busy. I was just called last month, at pretty much the same time, as young women president in our ward, and assistant camp director, I play v-ball on Thursday nights and part-time hair dresser out of my basement! I work out with a friends at the YMCA every morning and LOVE it, and a full time mommy and wife, yes I still manage to have a hot meal on the table, GO ME!!
So, I hope all of this is satisfying since it has been a log time since our last blog entry. We are surviving! Life is busy but at least Van still naps!
It was neat to park on the same ramp so close to the big guns.
I'm fairly certain Ben had a good time and wore himself out running around. It was a long day, but well worth it!
Our neighbor 3 houses down loves the boys and had special little orange bags specifically for our boys with a special prize in them. He put a gift coupon book from McDonald's in their little bags with some extra candy. He had their own names on the gift coupon booklet too... he is such a sweet man... a grandpa away from home!
Yes, this is the same costume that he wore two years ago (you can imagine it was big on him then). He tried on four different costumes and chose Tigger because it had a tail.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VAN!!! He is now 1 year old! Such a big boy. He is about 20 lbs, not too sure how long, but he is growing fast and eating everything in sight...( what ever Ben leaves on the floor). He loves to shout out loud, "DaDa", especially in the stores, where he as an audience. He is such a fun kid. He makes us laugh everyday...He can take a punch and fights back when big bro gets a little rowdy. We are so blessed to have him in our family...
Van and big brother Ben. Ben was very excited to be in the picture with the Birthday boy, how he's loving icing right now.
Yummy cup-cake.. Ben picked out the strawberry cake. Van didn't really care, he'll eat anything. He liked it, as you can see!
So, I am so not good at this blogging thing...I just don't seem to have the time. But, I'll try harder.
He loves to do this. We say "Ben that's gross", and he says, " No Momma, I like it." He cracks us up every day.
I know that every baby gets dirty when they eat, but I just thought he was so cute. He did of course put his not so clean hands in his hair. too cute
The best one, out of many...he just gives me silly faces most of the time.
Van, being cute before church!
