Bath time!!

Bath time usually means that we have both kids in the bath. Benjamin never really got tub baths until he was over 1 year old. Sink baths or putting him the the shower was the easy way to get him clean. So Sam is really lucky that he has been getting baths for awhile. He really likes to splash around with Ben.

Mom and Dad, AKA Grandma Kathy and Papa

Before my mom and dad left for there mission I was able to get a picture of my kids with them. I have gotten 2 professional pictures with James parents. Since mom and dad have always been in town we have taken pictures when we go over there but nothing professional. I love my parents and are glad that they can be a great example to my children. The kids also love them so much.

I think the pictures turned out good. It is hard to get a 3 year old to sit still for there pictures to be taken.

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY BENJAMIN ANDREW

Our little boy had a hard start with being born premature at 29 weeks. It was really scary for us when they told us that Benjamin was going to be born today three years ago. My water had broke and they weren't going to be able to stop labor. My mom, dad, and James were there for me. We had a lot of prayers for me and little Benjamin that we would be taken care of during labor and that Benjamin would be as healthy as could be. He was born at 3lbs 3ozs. He was little but doing really well. After 42 days in the NICU we were able to take our little boy home. It was a great day for James and I. We love you so much little Benjamin and wish you a Happy Birthday.

Zhu Zhu pets are both of my kids favorite toys!!

I found Sam playing or shall I say eating a Zhu Zhu Pet. I thought he knew that we had to look high and low to get one for christmas. At least he is still in one piece.

It really good.

I promise I will leave him alone.

Look at that smile, do you think I would lie.

He is a really good chew toy.

I love Ben's Zhu Zhu pet.

Benjamin's 3rd Birthday Pictures

Wow! I can't believe that I am already getting Ben's 3rd Birthday Pictures taken already. I actually did them 2 weeks early this year. He is getting to so big. We love him so much, and he is great with his little brother. Hope you enjoy the pictures. He was so excited for Brenley to take his pictures.

Ben getting his own chocolate milk.

Ben usually gets out the milk and the chocolate sauce when he wants chocolate milk, and puts it back. He was too fast for me to take pictures of him getting it out, but I decided to get picture of him putting everything away.

Our cute little boy with everything he needs to make chocolate milk.

He puts everything in the right spot.

Here he is putting the milk away.

We need to work on not slamming the door when he is done.
