Ben is Ten Months Old!!

These pictures were taken yeserday! But they seem like a fairly good representation of Ben entering a new phase of Babyhood! We went to get him up from his nap and found this! He is quite the little man! We will have to get some pics from his chair and with his football pillow for comparison!

Dog Pile!!

Ben had Lucy and Dad pinned!! But is it a Dog pile or a Dad pile?

Turtle Time!!

Ben loves this turtle that lives in his room. He had learned to give hugs! I was trying to get a picture of him laying his head on the turtle, but he kept popping up as soon as I pushed the button. I also have some video of him, but alas I can't get it to upload.

The Studio!

I would like to announce the completion of E.J.'s Violin Studio Official Website. The first version of it is up and running! (Thank you Kris W. for all your help!) I already have plans for additions to it! You can check it out at http://www.ejsviolinstudio.com/! Come by and check it out!

Man Vs. Wild

So, Matt has been working some crazy shifts and we have been spending a lot of time not at home on the weekends. Add to that the exorbitant amount of rain Tennessee gets and one can quickly grow jungle in the backyard!! I don't mow, I just don't. So, poor Matt on his one week off had to tackle our jungle with a push mower!! The grass had gotten SO long that the morning after a good rain storm and it laid down! and poor Buford was SO glad to have open space again he was trailing Matt as he mowed! I am happy to report, though, that Matt won this summer's episode of Man vs. Wild!!

New toy!! 2

Cousin Brayden also let me have this one. I a think Mom and Dad might like it as much as I do. It is like the coolest Magna Doodle Ever!!! It has purple jell that you push around the screen to write and draw pictures and it plays music!! I love to write my name, that is when I can get it away from Mom or Dad!

New Toy!!!

Aunt Melissa and Cousin Brayden gave me some of his toys last week! I have to say, Cousin Brayden had good taste in toys!

Captain Underpants!!

Right in the middle of our house cleaning last week Captain Underpants made an appearnce! and he had an amazing new flying machine!!! There is a really cute video of this that I will post asap. For some reason my blog is not letting me post the video. But enjoy the pics!

Out like a light!

Man What a Day!!! My boys were both wiped out after a hard day at church! Nothing lulls you to sleep quite like a good Nascar Race!

Beads! Beads! Beads!

Some of our friends gave Ben some Mardigra Beads to play with when we were over visiting the other day. He loved playing with them soo much that they sent some home with him. He throws them, swings them, puts them in and out of blocks and other toys, and of course chews on them. I put them on him for some pics and he promptly started pulling them off!
