Swim Lessons

Swim lessons have begun and this year they are conveniently located at our pool. Coach Dee comes twice a week. The shark kick boards are a big hit! Now if we can just go under water with out any tears...

Share Day for Bennett

It was an easy decision when Bennett was asked what toy he wanted to bring to school for share day. His baby of course! I need to mention that Aunt Natalie got the boys American Girls twins last year and they have definitely been loved and played with. I was worried that the ridiculous price tag for these dolls would be too much on such rowdy boys but they really enjoy them. Bennett, however, LOVES his baby Benji. Benji has a blanket and bottle and even doll diapers. He has no problem standing up in front of the class to tell them about Benji.

That is where the sharing stopped. No one was allowed to touch or play with Benji. Baby steps... literally. You can see the death grip on Benji in the picture. So funny.

T-Ball starts next year, but we are already in training.

Bennett's birthday party

Bennett had a great time at his "castle" party with all of his friends. He surprised us by blowing out his candles like an old pro. The kids enjoyed the bounce house and pull-string piniata. Mommy learned a good lesson with piniatas - don't pack too much candy into them and keep the lollipops on the top so they don't get clogged at the opening. We alomost head head injuries with the amoutn of candy that came pouring out. The kids used their new personalized sand pails (thanks Nana and Nat) to collect their goodies. We ate castle cake for days! He loved all his presents and sleeps every night with his trains, trucks and motorcyles.
