Ben's New Room!

For his birthday, Grandma Lee got Ben a bedroom redesign. Today she came up to help paint and decorate his room. We found these awesome wall decals on Etsy that are planes, trains and automobiles with construction vehicles to go with his construction theme bedding. Grandma Lee did an awesome job decorating the room! And Ben L-O-V-E-S his new room!


The Before (bare necessities - bed, blankets, books and trains)

The After - A room fit for a boy who loves all things that go!

Peek-A-Boo!

11 Months - And On Time

Woohoo - I took Nick's 11 month pictures within 4 days of the 24th! But on a sad note, my baby is 11 months old!! I have official put a ban on any further aging in this house hold.

It's Only A Matter Of Days

Before Nick is completely walking. This video was taken on Wednesday. Today he walked probably 7 steps before falling down. I think he's going to be completely walking by next weekend. :(

More Zoo Pictures

I had a bit of fun with the new camera at the zoo. There were just so many willing subjects to photograph!

Baby Tigers!

We took the boys to the zoo today. I have been wanting to see the baby tigers since they were born, but they just went out on exhibit earlier this month. They are the darn cutest things ever! The boy is Viktor and the girl is Talya. They were having a good time playing outside with their mom. The cubs started wrestling, and all I could think was how much it looked like my living room most days. The poor papa, though, he had to stay on the other side of the wall from Marta and the cubs and he wasn't too happy. He was making a lot of loud noise and pacing.

That's What I Like to See

Ben vacuuming the house, as it should be. He's still practicing his technique with the play vacuum Cameryn got him for Christmas, but he's been eye-ing the Dyson. I was saying something to Ben while Adam was running the vacuum and Ben walked over to Adam, turned off the dyson, walked back to me and said, 'What, mom?'. Adam and I both just shook our heads.

Movie Night

Friday we had a movie night - we watched Rio. Ben enjoyed the movie a lot.

Nick on the other hand just wanted to sit on the couch by himself. He just loves crawling to the other side of the couch. He turns around, gets this huge, proud grin and pounces against the back of the couch. But he's just so proud of himself for sitting on the couch by himself.
