Ben's first day of Kindergarten

Ben loved his 1st day of kindergarten (even though he was only there 2 hours)! His teacher seems great and he knows a couple other kids. He won't stop talking about the school library and is excited about the computers in his class too!

Charlie and his big brother

Charlie is obsessed with trucks! He will point to each picture in a gigantic truck book ... and will repeat over and over:


He also loves to "honk" noses:

Here are Ben and Charlie playing in a big box. Ben would tell him to sleep and Charlie would lay his head down (for a couple seconds):

Teeth Update

Charlie really loves his new toothbrush and since he imitates his big brother, it was easy to teach him how to brush.

Ben lost his first tooth and yes, the tooth fairy magically knew to leave money!

My Birthday Dinner!

Hike & Picnic

Had a fun picnic and hike with my boys last weekend!

Ben got to shoot a fire hose:


We also visited a park near our house that has a train and creek!

Summer 2010 & Minnesota Trip

The Summer has been busy! We have enjoyed visits from family and lots of trips to pools and parks. Last week, we took a trip to Minneapolis and spent a couple nights at the Water Park of America - super fun! Then we traveled to my Mom's house on the lake. Very relaxing...we tubed, fished, swam (Ben's swimming skills really improved).

Other upcoming events:
Ben is about to lose his first tooth and he starts Kindergarten in a few weeks!
