Best. Toy. Ever.

At least according to Ben. He got a new toy last week, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figure, and it has is most prized possession. They had show and tell for the first time at school yesterday, and it was the toy Ben took.





Randomly Requested Pictures

Ben randomly requested his picture taken the other night. Well, if he's volunteering, I'm not going to say no! He picked where he wanted his picture taken, which was the kitchen. And Mr. Monkey See Monkey Do had to follow suit.

Lights Before Christmas

Last weekend was very nice and the lights at the zoo had just opened, so we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and hit the lights early. We went with Lexi and Austin and had lots of fun. The kids got to see Baru, the crocodile, and Baby Lucas, so they were happy. And I got to practice some photography, so I was happy. And no one was cold!

Why Nick Is Not Allowed To Do Gymnastics

There is a reason why Nick is not allowed to take gymnastics - because he is a crazy maniac! I didn't get a video of the running, flying cannonball into the foam pit. He almost hit the other side! He jumped in that foam pit probably 20 times in 15 minutes. And he would yell 'Cannonball!' each time he jumped in. Once home, the couch, fireplace, stairs, beds, bathtub and sandbox all become launching spots for jumping.

Gymnastics Center Birthday Party

The boys were invited to Lexi's 6th birthday party at the Y's gymnastics center. After a very brief shy period, they were off and running with all the other kids. At the end of the mat time, all the kids make a pyramid with the birthday girl at the top and sing happy birthday.

Way More Into The Soccer This Time!

Ben was more into playing soccer the second and third time around. He played almost the whole game, taking his turn with his teammates so everyone got a turn. He got in some good kicks and had lots of fun!
