Staying Cool

We're having a heatwave. Today it's going to be about 98 and tomorrow it will hit 103. It's hot. Ben and I are staying cool (while Daddy's at the boat) by hanging out in the shade, eating popsicles, and playing in the sprinkler.

Future Career?

Ben loves helping out around the house. This is a good thing. And lately, he's become very *insistent* on doing the sweeping and vacuuming ALL BY HIMSELF. I'm starting to think he might have a future in the janitorial arts...

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

We had a great day... This morning Ben and I played a bit in the backyard.


He loves his slide!

Then he *helped* me with my potted veggie garden. (This photo was taken right before he snapped my pepper plant in half!)


Ben likes climbing on his inchworm...


And what day wouldn't be complete without some naked pool time?!?

Almost a year ago...

Here are a couple of photos from last summer. Thanks, Auntie Amanda, for reminding us of how much Ben has grown up!!!

(And look at those fat little legs!)

My Boys

Oh how I love them both! So cute...

I wish it was chocolate...

During his nap today Ben somehow managed to pull off his DIRTY diaper (through the leg hole of his shorts!) and then *play* with the mess. It was the most disgusting thing he's ever done. And yes, I took the time to go get my camera and take a picture!! Gross. But he's still so cute!
