Ben's newest trick

Every day, Ben does something new that just makes me laugh.

For example, when I looked over and saw him eating his "raisin patty", I couldn't help but laugh ... and almost gag.


But I think this newest trick of his tops them all.

And of course, here are a couple pictures of Brooklyn, just because she's so dang cute!!!

Burning Cakes, Hikes, and Parmesan Cheese

So Ben turned 2 last week!!! CRAZY!
Here are the before and after pictures of the airplane cake that I made for him.

BEFORE we ate it

AFTER we ate it and McLain got to it

He sure had lots of fun with the fire!


So, this last weekend, we went to Moab to see our beautiful niece be blessed. It was so fun!!!
We took Ben on a little hike while we were there.

Good times!


And yesterday, Ben was eating his breakfast. We kept hearing him say "Parmesan cheese." What??? Did he want parmesan cheese on his Tootie Fruities? That's gross!!!

So I went in to see what in the world he was talking about. There he was looking out the window and repeating "Parmesan cheese on car!" Huh? So, I took a peek out the window and this is what I saw.

That's right, it was snow. You've gotta give it to him though...it does look like parmesan cheese.

I just want to let everyone know

that...

MCLAIN IS THE BEST!!!!

and I love him so much!

Good times!!

Here are some pics of some of the things that we've been up to lately.


Here we are.

Here's McLain's beautiful car at the Preston car show.


Ben loves airplanes, and he was so excited to ride on one at the park!


Brooklyn is so so cute!!




So, in hopes of getting Ben more excited about sitting on his potty, we put his hand prints on it with paint so it was not just any potty, but Ben's potty. He loved painting it.


But the question is...did it work? Absolutely not. Now the only thing he gets excited about is giving his potty high five!!!


And of course, last but not least, here is a video of Ben's sweet dance while listening to music through the headphones.

With One Accord

Here is a video of the hottest new band in town...

With One Accord

The star accordionist is the one and only, my hot husband, McLain!!!!
The guitarist is his coworker BJ, and the drummer is our good friend Jeremy.
They are playing "The Final Countdown" by Europe.
This is at a work party.

Pretty good, eh?
