A perfect Mother's Day comment

The other day I forgot to buckle Ben in the car. We started backing out and he yelled Mommy you forgot me. I told him to please try and remember to remind me before we start moving if he is not buckled. He they asked me why I forgot. I told him that Mommy is not perfect. His response was priceless

"Mommy you are perfect you even have superpowers"

Cooks Dairy Farm

Ben had a preschool field trip and I had Mom to Mom so Josh got to go on the fieldtrip to the diary farm. Josh said it was fun to watch Ben with all the kids. He was just like his Daddy was and was always with all the girls.
Ben, Olivia, and Karragan mesmerized by the cows

although it may look like Ben is excited he is actually yawning

Something exciting was happening

It must be love between Ben and Olivia
Look at how cool this cow is
I think that all the kids in Ben's class are so cute don't you?

Cubbies Graduation

Last night was the Cubbies Closing ceremony. It is always lots of fun and great to hear the kids songs and verses. Here are some pictures from the event

This is a great piece of paper but what do I do with it

Tree

I never knew that having a tree cut down can be almost as fun as the swing set that is going to go in it's place. Here is Ben playing star wars on the logs. (this is of course after I put all the smaller logs that I could carry on the firewood holder and turned the logs over to make them better for playing)

And look at what lovely stepping stones they can be.

Jake thought that this HUGE pile of chips would make a great slide (anyone need any chips? come visit our driveway)

Big boy bed???

At some point Jacob is going to have to sleep in a big boy bed. The other night Ben and Jake decided to try it. Here is what I found when I came in one night. All the lights were off but here were my cute boys. They will have lots of fun when they share a room. (it is not going to be for awhile however)

Caleb - one month old

Caleb is already a month old. I am not so sure where the time went but it sure has been fun having three little boys around.

Here were Caleb's shocking stats from his 1 month well visit
Weight 10.5 - 75%
Length 22.5 - 75%
Head Circumference 39" - 50%

Pretty impressive considering he was not completely back to birth weight at 2 weeks.

Caleb was put on Zantac for reflux. He is such a great baby but I could tell his burps were starting to bug him. He seems much better not that he is on the meds. He is also super strong. He can roll from his tummy to his back and has been since he was 2 weeks old. He has great head control already. He is a really sweet baby.


Bath time is is favorite. I can put him into the tub crying and he will stop as soon as he hits the water.

A fun toy

I must have some music loving boys because they insist on playing the drums when Daddy plays guitar on Guitar Hero
