Adam had a VERY large load of mulch delivered on Friday. He and Ben spent most of Saturday morning distributing it to the gardens. Ben was quite the helper. And the gardens look very nice :)

Cousin Eva
Ok, I'm a terrible aunt for it to take me a week to post these pictures! Ben and Nick would like to introduce their new cousin, Eva Christina (Eva pronounced like Evelyn, but without the lyn). Eva was born Friday 5/4 and weighed in at 5lbs 8oz. She's a peanut! And she has WAY more hair than Nick. I don't expect that to change any time soon. Ben was very excited. He rubbed her feet and kept saying 'Awww, she's so cccuuutttee' in his high pitched voice. Nick wasn't too interested. He can't eat her, so it doesn't register on his radar. All he cares about these days is food. But, give it a few months, and they will all be playing together!

My Poor Laundry Baskets
They suffer such abuse. They are cars, trains, tunnels, turtle shells, and now they have to hold daddy AND two little boys? Guess I should write Rubbermaid a letter praising them for their quality product if it can withstand all that.
Ready To Roll!
He's got his helmet, can climb on the bike by himself and can just barely reach the petals - he's ready to ride!
A Few More Babies
There are a lot of new babies around here these days, including this cute baby lemur! I think this one was born 4/7, and his two cousins were born 4/8. Sooooo stink'n cute!

A Mommy and Me Trip To the Zoo
Ben has been asking to go to the zoo for almost two weeks now. I got a game on the iPod, Curious George goes to the Zoo, and ever since, he's been asking to go to the zoo. So, today while Nick was sleeping, just Ben and I went to the zoo. It was actually quite awesome. We just hopped in the car with no prepping, I only took my purse - no stroller, no snacks, nothing - and we were on our way! It was supposed to be a quick trip, but we ended up staying for about 2.5 hours. We tried to see the baby lemurs, but they were hiding under their sleeping mommies. We did see Louie, who celebrated his 9th birthday this weekend, and Baby Lucas who will be turning 1 in June. And because it was just Ben and I, I let him ride the African Savanna train. It was really the first time he's rode it. We got to see the baby giraffe and some other African animals. This was also the first time Ben has asked to have his picture taken on the statues. He was all about it with the turtle! While we were walking around the zoo, Ben told me I was the best mommy. Aww, what a suck up :)
Cul de Sac Playtime
Ben is totally obsessed with the family two houses down. They have 3 kids: Brianna (8), Brittany (7) and Benjamin (1.5). And according to Ben, they have thee best toys. Including a power wheels jeep. Ben is a terrible driver, and I freak out every time he drives. He ran into a tree, almost hit a car, almost ran over Brianna...he's a maniac who doesn't understand how to steer! At least I make him ride his bike over to their house, so he is usually wearing his helmet when he is driving or riding in the jeep.
And now Nicholas is getting in on the action. Grrrreeeeeaaatttt
Let's hope he will be a better driver than his brother.
They are cute, but boy are they trouble!!
