College Football

When Ben got up from his nap yesterday afternoon he had a cookie and some milk and chilled with his Da Da watching college football.

Special Delivery!

I think this might be the stork. Wish he had come that way to begin with!

The boys had been out playing in the yard. Matt was playing football with our friends son Jacob. Ben was chillin' on his blanket and watching! When it was time to come in Matt brought baby, blanket and all!

Cookie Monster.

Just in case anyone mistakenly thought we only give Ben healthy snacks, here he is roaming around with a cookie in his mouth. He gnaws it down until he can't get it out of his fist and then he shoves the whole cookie in!

Apples, not just a sauce anymore.

I peeled and sliced an apple for Ben today. He Loved it!! He munched it with his teeth and got his mouth so full of apple I had to stop him for a minute so he could swallow! I thought it was really cute. More and more we are having a hard time getting him to eat off the spoon. He wants mostly food he can put in his mouth himself!

Ben is 11 months old!

He started the photo shoot a little on the angry side.
But Dad quickly took care of that.
Football jammies and a football pillow, life is good.

HOLY SHMOLY!! I can not believe that Ben is almost a year old! Where does the time go?! The nights are starting to get a little cool so we got him some pajamas. They fit very nicely. I thought I was getting them big enough that they would possibly last through the winter. But alas, size 18 months is barely able to zip comfortably around Booh Bear's thunder thighs. He sure is cute in his little football jammies, even if I do say so myself!

Good Morning Pooh Bear

This is the progression of events should I turn Winnie the Pooh on for Ben. He loves Pooh and the Gang. I also love these pictures because I think this is one of the funniest combinations of clothes I have put on the kid yet! Who says your Jammies have to match?

Playing Star-Wars

We went to a birthday party at Nana and Papa's house on Sunday. Dalton is now 13! Ben had a great time. His favorite was playing with Brayden's light sabres!

Petting Zoo

Well, I could not get a slide show to work. I am just not techy enough. Oh well. This way you get my commentary on each picture.

The First Critter we saw was a real shocker!


For some reason this one made Ben think he was hungry?


This amazing beast had no visible eyes, yet seemed to find anyone holding a peanut with ease!

These little guys sure were hungry, all of the chicken and bread Ben had dropped from dinner were long gone!

This next one has apparently been working on becoming a full American citizen, ever seen a Zonkey?

The last member of the petting zoo was one tired monkey!!

West Tennessee State Fair

On Friday night last week we went to the West Tennessee State Fair. It was okay. Fairs out here are not what they are at home (Utah, Idaho) there are not sheds with cows, sheep, goats, bunnies, or any other animals for that matter. There was however a building with a canned goods and largest melon or gourd display. There were some quilts and other sewing and a few pictures. Mostly when people out here say they are "going to the fair" they mean going to the carnival rides. The one interesting thing was an "exotic" petting zoo. Ben loved it. I am going to attempt to post the petting zoo pics in a slide show.
