Happy 30th Birthday, Honey!!

Today is Dave's 30th Birthday! I was trying to find the perfect way to wish him "Happy Birthday" and I thought a little blog embarrassment would work perfectly! He would prefer that I say he is celebrating his 1st anniversary of turning 29 but saying 30 is more fun!

He had plans to go gambling and just have a relaxing day today but the nasty weather foiled his plans for the second year in a row. Poor guy!

Dave never wants anything and never asks for anything for his birthday, anniversary, father's day or even Christmas so we had to get him something. For Dave's birthday/Valentine's Day we got him a Wii. He has loved that thing and has wanted it since the first time he played with it. Unfortunately, the game he really wants is "Mario Kart" but this poor wife could not find it for him. So he is getting the racing wheel with a promise to get "Mario Kart" some time in the near future.

Happy Birthday, Honey (I mean Daddy, I mean Dave, etc)! We love you very much!! We hope you enjoy your birthday!!

Coloring, coloring, coloring

Benjamin loves doing art projects. He enjoys drawing, coloring, and painting. Ada loves doing whatever Benjamin does. She also enjoys coloring. When I got home from work today Benjamin and Ada had to show me the pictures that they made and had daddy hang up. They had pictures in our (Dave & mine) bedroom and hanging beside each of their beds. They were so proud of themselves and their pictures. It was so sweet!

Mommy, NO more pictures!

I just can't help myself. These guys and gal are just too cute not to take pictures of!

Little Daredevil

Ada will climb up onto anything if you let her or if you let your guard down for a few moments. Wearing a skirt or a dress does not discourage the climbing either. When you say Ada, it's time for a diaper change, off she goes racing to the changing table, laughing the whole time she is climbing up there. Once she gets up there she is so proud of herself she almost taunts you that she got up there. We love are skirt wearing daredevil but want her to be a little more cautious.

Little Helper

Benjamin loves to help vacuum! Which is a great thing don't get me wrong but I wish he would wear clothes while he does it. Yep, he likes to vacuum after bath while wearing only his night-time underwear. He doesn't even want to wear his pj's. I have no idea why. Does anybody have an idea or reason why? I will just enjoy the help and the black mail later (vacuuming without clothes while only wearing underwear). Some things are just priceless, aren't they?

An Armful!

Benjamin and Ada are growing up so fast! They are becoming an armful when you try and hold both of them together. Our lazy boy recliner used to hold one mommy or one daddy and two kids pretty easily but not any more! It is a tight fit! It's hard to believe that Ada is almost 18 months old and that Benjamin is 3 years old. Time sure does fly by!!

Making Music

When Benjamin was younger he got a xylophone from his uncle Colin. He has always enjoyed playing with it and Ada is o exception! Ada enjoys playing with her guitar that she got from her cousins for Christmas. These two enjoy making music together and singing along (although, their words don't always match). These two are little hams! It is so fun watching them because they feed off each other and just keep things right on rolling. Here they are showing off their muscial skills!
