Bubble Beard

Ada loves taking a bath and playing around with the bubbles. She enjoys getting the bubbles to stay on her face. She will dunk her face down into the water and come up with a bubble beard and laugh and laugh until the bubbles are all gone. She thinks playing with bubbles is one of the greatest things on earth to do. She is our little ham!!

Too Funny...

During supper Benjamin told Dave that he wanted to watch the bug movie (It's a Bugs Life). Dave then preceded to ask Benjamin what he needed to do first before he could watch the movie. Dave was anticipating Benjamin saying eat supper, take a bath, and get his jammies on but Benjamin took Dave by surprise. Benjamin took a few minutes to think about his answer before he said anything. He then looked right at Dave and said "rewind the movie." I could not stop laughing! It was too cute!!

Daddy's Redneck Floatie....

Little Dolphin Fan!!

Ada was a proud Miami Dolphin fan this weekend as the Dolphins added a win to their belt! Daddy was so proud of his little Dolphin fan!

Ceres Halloween Social

Shirley organized a Ceres Alumni Halloween social. She planned it with our kids in mind! She had all kinds of activities for them and plenty of food to eat! Benjamin loved painting his pumpkins. He painted one for himself and one for his sister. His pumpkin had boy colors while Ada's had girl colors on it. While he was painting Ada's pumpkin he asked if Quinn (his friend from daycare) will think it is pretty. I think I should be concerned.

Benjamin got to frost and decorate some Halloween cookies. He loves to frost and decorate with sprinkles so he was in Heaven! Ada enjoyed eating his creations! They went so fast that there was no time for pictures.

At another station was photo frame decorating. I decorating Ada's frame while Benjamin painted his own frame. He did a very good job of painting. I let him paint it himself (that way I can treasure the frame he made). I applied the stickers/decals but Benjamin directed me as to where he wanted them to go. I think the frames were a great idea and I think they turned out very cute!

There was a station with music and movies so the kids could rest. There was puzzles to put together and noodles to play with and make necklaces with.

Ada's favorite station (she did this station all day) was the snack station! There was very food imaginable to eat and it was all so good! She enjoyed meat, cheese, & crackers, fruit, veggies, cupcakes, brownies, chips, etc. The snack station was Ada's favorite station. There were even these cute disposable cups that you could make into sippy cups. Ada really liked those cups but she had a nasty habit of chewing on the lid till it broke and then she would get her milk or water all over the place.

Mommy enjoyed visiting with her Ceres sisters and getting a chance to catch up with them. It was also fun to see everyone children and to see how much they have grown! Thank you Shirley for organizing a really fun day! We enjoyed it!

Craig & Steph's Wedding

Mommy & Ada, Uncle Craig & Benjamin Dancing

Ada

Auntie Carrie & Benjamin

Here are a few snapshots from Craig & Steph's wedding. Doesn't Benjamin look so handsome? And Ada look so cute? Didn't Steph and Renae do a great job with making the earrings and necklace?

The problem with being a bridesmaid and a mother of two was I didn't get to take very many pictures. Also, we never got a family photo taken with the four of us. Hopefully, someone else did! Danielle, Corey's girlfriend, took pictures with my brother Colin's camera but he has yet to share the photo's with us. Notice that I don't even have a picture of the bride and groom--Sorry about that! Craig and Steph got married on October 10, 2008. It rained early that morning and then turned into a beautiful fall day. The wedding, reception, and dance went off without any problems. They honeymooned in Aruba (far more exotic that the Black Hills) and are still happily married so things look promising!

Pool Time...

We spent most of our free time enjoying the hotel pool. Benjamin loves to swim and play in the water for hours! Ada enjoys the water too. Both kids miss swimming in the pool. Benjamin is a little daredevil when it comes to playing in the pool. He likes to jump off the deep end of the pool towards his daddy and his uncles. Every once in a while Benjamin would sneak off and go into the hot tub to warm up his feet. He would then come out and say that his feet feel better. Benjamin and Ada liked to chase each other around in the pool and would also play bumper floaties.
