Neighborhood Playgroup

We have playgroup once a week with friends in the neighborhood. The kids have such a good time together! Elizabeth and her best girl friend Elliott are playing together on the teeter totter at our friend Robin's house.


Sand is always a favorite of Ben and Elizabeth! Not mine, because it always sticks all over their sunscreen, what a mess!!

Our (Late) Birthday Party



Jessica and I had a late birthday party with our parents today. My mom had saved a lot of the party decorations from our first birthday party!! She decorated the house with the same napkins, centerpiece, and table cloth. It all looked so cute! I can't believe she saved it for 29 years!!!


The kids loved the blowers!

Cooper and Benjamin are going to be trouble together as they get older! Here they are swapping food. If one does something, the other one follows right along.

Cousin Cooper

We love our cousin Cooper! Here the kids are at Cooper's house, playing the piano. They love to play at Cooper's!

ABC train

Elizabeth spent a lot of time making this abc train. Of course Ben spent the same amount of time trying to knock it over (he loves to knock over his sister's stuff - not to be mean necessarily but just because!). So it was difficult to actually get a picture of the entire train -but we did it!

Cousins Drew and Josh


Our cousins were out of town for over a week so Ben and Elizabeth were anxious to see them! They actually live on our street so we get to see them often. They are best friends!

Goofy Ben

Ben loves to play dress up - especially hats!

Ben is in time out because he kept knocking over Elizabeth's tower. It looks like it really bothers him, doesn't it?


Wearing mommy's shoes. I told you he likes to dress up!

Hanging Out

Ben loves our dog, Jake. Luckily, Jake is very tolerant of the kids!


Elizabeth is our little ballerina! She is taking a tap, ballet, gymnastics combo class and really likes it. It helps that her best friend is in the class! It's very cute to see all the 3 year olds tapping and dancing!

Cousin Zach


We spent today babysitting for our adorable 7 month old cousin Zach! He was a lot of fun, and the kids loved him!
My good friend Allison also came over with her 8 week old cutie Emily! There is Ben in the background, participating so well in the pitures, right??

Train Ride

The kids are at a train ride with their cousins. It's a 40 min ride with a stop for popcorn and drinks. We go right through a park and over a river, a great little ride!

Cowgirl Museum



We spent a Saturday at the Cowgirl Museum. The kids got to ride on horses and bulls - they thought it was very fun! It was the closest they have ever come to being on real horses!
