5K Winner!!

On Saturday the 4th Matt ran a 5K that benefited the local Kiwanis center. There were about 125 runners. Matt won his class! Ben really really liked Daddoo's metal! Way to go Matt!

Well, He is using the spoon....

The Muffins!

I attempted home-made blueberry muffins last week with fresh blueberries. They turned out pretty good! Well, at least Ben thought so!

April Fool's!!!

So, I am not sure who qualifies as the fool here, me or my loving husband and best friends! While Ben was being tended by his Auntie Rachel today a conspiracy occurred and when I returned for my little blond haired baby I found a green haired monster! Good one guys! It is a little hard to tell in the pics but it is surely green!

Peter Pan

I don't have any pictures from the weekend but we did have a pretty busy one! Saturday Matt had to take his Pharmacy Tech test in Memphis. Ben and I went along and killed the time hanging at the mall. Then Saturday night we went to the Ballet. Yes, against what would normally be my better judgement we took our nearly 18 months old to the ballet. The local Ballet school puts one on each year, at least that is what I gathered. It was a pretty casual affair but with a lot of little girls all dolled up! They did a nice job with the production and even had Peter, Wendy and her brothers all flying! After our long day in Memphis I was quite wary of taking Ben down to it. I am very glad we did. He LOVED IT. He sat well behaved the whole time, we thought we would be lucky to make intermission! His favorite part was each time the crocodile came out! The pirate music made him a little nervous. He clapped and cheered in all the right places and really had a great time. So thank you Uncle Aaron and Aunt Rachel for inviting us, and thank you Sis. Freeman for the tickets!

Just for Laughs

He was in a super good mood this morning at breakfast so I decided to get some giggles on tape! This ones for you auntie muggs!

Real Men don't eat apple slices...

Ben has decided that he can eat his apples whole just like his Dadoo. This is him eating it skin and all yesterday!

Peek-A-Boo

One of Ben's favorite current pass times is playing peek-a-boo. He covers his face with his hands or blanket. It is funny cause you can catch him peeking at you! then he pulls his hands away and laughs!

Ben's Newest Skill

Ben figured out how to climb into my recliner last week! I was folding laundry and I turned around and he was sitting in my chair. I wondered at first if I had forgotten I put him there. But then later I watched him do it! It took me until this morning to get some video of him! Way to go big guy!

Funzone 2

We went to the FunZone on Saturday for a birthday party. Ben was a big big fan! He talked me into taking him down the slide a number of times. We went back this morning and I was much more prepared to be involved (not wearing nice clothes). He loved it again! He is such a Ham he was running up to perfect strangers tapping on their legs and putting his hands up to them! He must have had half the moms and all of the attendants in the place hold him at least once! People are so surprised when he asks them to pick him up! they look at me and I am like, "you don't have to pick him up, he is just really really friendly!" then they pick him up and talk to him! I have been told in this respect he very very much resembles his Auntie Muggs!
