Snow

In January, little Benjamin got to go play in the snow with Austin. They had so much fun. I'll let you guess which part Benjamin thought was the most fun. Austin took his sled up the hill and always started down before getting turned around so he road down backwards on his stomach.

Benjamin got to play with his "friends" (cousins) all day today. First at Granny's at the baby shower, then he went over to Austin's to play, and then Austin, Billy, and Kimmie came over to his house for dinner. He had a great day. I forgot my camera at home for the shower and I helped Kimmie pull weeds in the front yard for about 2 hours, so I wasn't climbing my stairs until it was bed time and the camera was upstairs. Billy fixed Kris' car. It had a bad fuel pump. If he hadn't been working on her car, I wouldn't have pulled his weeds. They got a letter from the HOA and had to get them pulled. Well, I'm exhausted so I'm going to bed soon.

Easter

All the kids after the Easter egg hunt.

Reah's husband

This is Marvin, Reah's husband. He was driving mom's car and found Austin's Batman sunglasses in the glove box and put them on. He said he thought that they went with the car.

New computer

Marvin told me how to fix my new computer over the phone. It was my birthday present from mom. Reah told her I would want a better present, but mom told her no I was practical and I needed my computer fixed. I told Reah mom was right. Yeah new computer. After I get the boys to bed tonight I will post more. I got Christmas, Birthday, and Easter pictures.

My Pirates

These are my pirates. Benjamin got to have Austin come over and play tonight. He might get to spend the night. These pictures are for Granny. She wants to see her (my) pirates. At first one wasn't so excited to get his picture take, but he hammed it up on the solo one. I guess he jus didn't want to share the spot light. It's a good thing he's an only child.

Benjamin's 3!!!

Well on the 3rd the boy was three. He got a 14' trampoline for his birthday. He loves to jump on it. Mommy jumps with him some, but mommy always makes him fall down from the bounces. Mom, Kris, all her kids, Benjamin and I went to Olive Garden for dinner tonight. They have a fantastic peach tea. Little Benjamin loves to go out with his cousins. They are the most fun. Mommy gets a distant 2nd place to them. And Granny scored major points by ordering everyone a hot fudge sundae for desert. She's always so free with money when I'm paying.

Little Benjamin learned a new phrase when he saw his dad on his birthday. "D$%# it." I let it slide the first time or two with just telling him we don't say that it's not nice. But when he said it again last night he has to sit on mommy's lap and listen to how it isn't nice and it hurts mommy and Jesus when he says not nice things and he doesn't want to hurt mommy or Jesus. Then mommy asked who he learned this from. I was expecting one of his cousins. But no, he says Daddy. He says it and then says "I didn't say it." I bet his father was all over him about repeating it.

I have an old computer of Billy's that I need to get set up, mine is pretty old. I'm hoping to do that this weekend and then I can download all my new pictures from Christmas and the boy's birthday.
