Snotty baby.

Benjamin was very tired tonight.
Jacob took a photo of us.
There, Momma... some photos. Just for you. :)

The Little Ninja Wears Pajamas

Once again, Benjamin had to wear a karate belt while Jacob was away at karate class.

He then saw Jacob's pajamas and HAD to have them on. He was pretty pleased at first.


Then those pesky sleeves wouldn't stop being long! How dare they?
Looking so big!
After dinner, Greg cut the grass. Before we headed outside to watch, Benjamin stood in the window and said, "Daddy, see you. Daddy, see you." It was sooo cute. Still no "mama," though. He does give me a lot of hugs and he says, "I uh ooo" (I love you).

The Cutest Little Stinker Ever

A Baby Shower

We had a baby shower for Dan and Tara on Saturday. We had a great time! We started off with some random trivia ("What did Dan have for lunch yesterday?" "What kind of shampoo does Tara use?") and then moved outside for a bottle chugging contest. Here are the brave souls who volunteered:

Chugging away.

The kids were just happy to be outside.

And getting ready for the stroller obstacle course. Race around the house, weave around a couple of (parked) cars, take the cow out of the stroller, and strap him into a carseat.
Here's the first contestant (and winner).
Coming around the corner after circling the house. Check out the terror on Aven's face as we were yelling, "Move!" John meant business.
Strapping our bovine friend in. Greg was watching closely with his phone/stopwatch.
Nanci and her sweet, sweet baby.
Aven giving it a go.
The daddy-to-be getting off to a quick start.
Rounding the corner.
Jacob studying the course. Making plans.
Greg with his game face on.
And taking off.
Racing around the house. I wonder what the neighbors thought. It was a beautiful day so there were plenty of people outside...
Getting ready to dodge a blocking attempt by John.
If you look closely, you can see Jacob's head in the carseat. For reasons unknown, when Greg went to strap the cow into the car, Jacob was sitting in the infant seat! HA HA HA HA HA.
Poor Beans was exhausted after all of that excitement!
Benjamin just thought we were very odd.

Tara and Dan opening presents.
Jacob and Aven decided shirts weren't necessary for play.
We had a fantastic time with our friends! Baby showers are a lot more fun when you make guys do silly things. :)

Silly Boys

Pool Time

Greg's sweet Aunt J. and Uncle D. invited the entire clan to their house. Benjamin started having fun right away... There was a "cat" there!

Happily waving. This is after he ran away and I had to chase him down the sidewalk.
Jacob showing off his new swimming skills.
Benjamin's first time in the pool.






















I couldn't get one with both of them looking up.

There's probably a lot I could type. It was a good day, but an exhausting day. So, this will have to do for now.
