Playing Dress Up and more

We have been trying clothes on Benjamin this week, who knew they would grow so fast. Benjamin is quickly becoming such a big kid. He is getting taller I think every hour. Very few of his pants from last year fit, hence the dress up. To make it fun we had out some of our halloween costumes as well. Will fell in love with Pablo (from the Nick show Backyardigans) so that is what he will be for halloween this year. We also had our tunnel out this week, suprisingly all the boys have had fun with this - even Zach!!

October is here!

The boys have been very excited with fall upon us. We have played dress-up with some halloween costumes and today we went to a pumpkin patch with Uncle John and Aunt Amy, Rylee and Jack too. The boys had lots of fun playing on all the playsets on the farm, seeing all the animals, and picking out a pumpkin. Benjamin selected a big pumpkin that he really had his heart set on, but alas we picked out small pumpkins and headed home!!

Cooking with Mommy

Recently the boys and I made some wonderful GF/CF brownies!! It was a mix from Namaste Foods the Uncle Rick and Aunt Elizabeth gave us. They were delicius and very easy to make. The boys loved them and loved making them with me.

Race Car Games

Will is a huge fan of race cars, or cars he preceives to be race cars, so I took him to the Race Car Game. We went to Eldora speedway for the Prelude to a Dream race. Ot was rained out back in June and reschuduled for September 9th. WOW- I have never been to any kind or race, I never could have imagined what I would see. The race cars I could imagine -- the number of people and the character of people is what suprised me. Will had a great time-- we only watched 3 heats of 10 laps each - we were good and ready to head home.

Just Kickin it!!

Benjamin has had a wonderful past few weeks /months of development. I went to put long pants on him the other day for horseback riding and came to the conclusion he is going to need bigger pants this year!!! He is doing wonderful on his diet and as the plate shows -- he ate everything on his plate for dinner. He is also playing soccer this year on a special needs team. I am not sure what exactly he is getting out of all of this but it is a new experience for Benjamin. A few times he has participated with the group (he likes the warmups best). He also can dribble the ball down the field and make a goal but the all time favorite (for the whole team) is the tunnel at the end of practice or game!!

Benjamin!!

Benjamin did very well in OC...loved the water and would stay in forever if we would let him!!

Will in Ocean City!!

Will had a blast in Ocean City I wish I had better pictures but due to technical difficulties. The roller coaster shots are of the Turbo Python 3000- Will really wanted to ride it but panicked when it came time. In the end he had fun but said it was a little scary!!

Ocean City!!

We had a wonderful time and a beautiful week in Ocean City. All the boys loved the beach and the sand.

Ocean City!!

Will turns 3!!!

Will was thrilled to have a race car birthday!!

Will's day of surgery

Will was a trooper for his surgery, he has tubes reinserted (3rd set), his adenoids removed and a cyst on his ear removed! The puppy is "puppy girl" named after Belle. Will sleeps with her and she went to surgery with him...and got tubes too!
