Benjamin Button is 2!

We can't believe our baby boy is TWO YEARS OLD! He brings a smile to our faces every day and also makes us shake our heads a lot! He is a happy, wild, curious, trouble making sweetie!
He loves trains, planes and automobiles! Anything that moves! He adores animals and being outside. He repeats everything we say but doesn't usually listen to us! One minute he loves his sister the next he is beating her up and she always just takes it! Our world is exciting and interesting with him in it and although he is a rascal most of the time, we wouldn't trade him for anything!

The eyes closed picture is the face he makes when he's trying to blow on something!
Shamus and Ainslee came over for cake.
Last night in his crib: August 24th (it was hard on Mommy!)
 First night in his big boy bed (August 25th). He was so excited and giggly when he saw it!
 You can never be too safe when riding your bike in your pjs!
This is a typical tv watching pose!
He loves ice cream, s'mores and cereal!
Also LOVES playing in the sand, we learned quickly this summer to make sure he wore a hat after this day!
First hair cut! It didn't go well!
Riding the quad naked…then realized he had a lot of sand stuck to his bits!
Such an adorable cheeky face!
So small in the bed at the lake.
He always has a car or train in his hand, double fisting in this pic!

Baby Sophia!

My cousin Craig and Ally had a baby girl on August 22nd! Sophia Kimberly Lindsay is perfection and I'm so glad we were in town to meet her! I could have snuggled her forever!
Julia adores Sophia and wouldn't let anyone else hold her. She told everyone all about Baby Sophia for days after meeting her!

Mermaids, Fishies & Water Babies!

The kids spent so much time in the water this summer! Julia gained a ton of confidence and will now jump in and go under without batting an eye. She loved wearing googles and doing silly jumps into the pool. Ben loved squishing sand castles most of all but by the end of the summer was loving the water too, no matter how cold it was! He didn't like wearing a floaty or life jacket so we had to keep a very close eye on him, he's quick! It was such a hot summer so we constantly were enjoying some form of water, I'm sad to see it come to an end! Julia can't wait to start swimming lessons this fall!


Who doesn't love a little naked sprinkler time!




 Papa being a sea monster!
 I sent Jen a text and said "Dad bought mom a boat for her birthday" She wrote back "What? Why would mom want a boat…like a yacht?" Then I sent her the picture below and we laughed and laughed! (a yacht!)
 I love his little butt! (He will probably hate me for this one day!)
 More time in the yacht!

It was a really tough summer ;)
