Someone's Three!

Three years ago today a little toe head came a flyin' out of my body(sorry to be so graphic), literally. We were so excited to have a 7 lb 14 oz, healthy little brother in our family. Logan seemed so little while he held the tiny addition. Now here it is three years, and many pounds later and that little toe head is still as blonde as can be but an even more important part of the family.

Ben has been asking and asking to go to Chuck-E-Cheeses. I've told him over and over again not until his birthday. So we finally took him there today, and boy, what a treat! You'd think I'd given him the world.

Someone asked me today if he really understood that it was his birthday, and my answer was a very quick "YES!" I told him we were going to the gym this morning, he said, "Nooooooo!" I don't know why he doesn't like the gym, I think maybe it's because Logan doesn't come with him now that he is in school. I told him sorry but we were going. He responded by saying, "NOOOOOOO, it's my birthday." Smarty pants, I know.

The day was pretty uneventful, the usual stuff, errands, cleaning, etc, etc. Then we went to Subway(our weekly date) and then picked up the boys from school. We went to the park like we do almost everyday. But today was especially gorgeous. If you notice in the pictures Ben's face got pretty banged up there, he plays hard man.


After we got home we waited for Wes and then headed over to Chuck-E-Cheese. Ben didn't like the guy dressed up like a mouse, but what little kids does. We stayed until we ran out of tokens then headed home for cake and presents.

Ben got some awesome gifts (special thanks to gramma, and papas for sending goodies via mail). After he played with the loot we shuffled the kids into bed for one last birthday kiss.

We are grateful to have this little boy in our lives. He's been a handful lately(hard to believe, I know) but can't imagine life without him in it. Thanks Benny O. for being ours!

Halloween-Star Wars Style

We had a great Halloween this year. The week started out rainy, but it all dried out and it ended up being a perfect day for trick-or-treating. The boys have been waiting and waiting for the day when I would finally let them wear their costumes without saying, "Oh no, don't do that your gonna ruin your costume!"

Classic Ben above

Clone Trooper and Darth Vader

We met up with our friends who just so happened to be Star Wars characters as well!

Clone Trooper, Commander Cody, and Darth Vader II

Darth Vader vs Master Yoda

This is Ben and his BFF Aiden, it was hilarious they kept hitting each other and crying, then they would go back for more.

The whole cast!

Hope your Halloween was as Boo-rific as ours!
