Ben was invited to a birthday party at Tiny Town! Jackson, his friend from daycare, turned 3. Ben, Jackson and Luke (another friend from daycare) were inseparable and had a great time playing together as well as eating pizza and cake and riding the train!!

A Crafty Weekend by Melissa

It was a busy weekend doing some projects around the house!

We repainted the dining room set, recovered the dining room chairs, (started to) paint the basement, finished the crown molding and made pillows for the living room. Whew! Ben was such a good helper!

A Trip to Albuquerque by Melissa

We took a short trip to visit Aunt Kim, Uncle Dave, Cousin Alex and Cousin Andy this weekend. Had SO MUCH FUN! Ben loved playing with his cousins (and created a new game - Squish Ball!!), we celebrated Cousin Alex's 11th birthday with a cool party...and we went to tons of neat places: a duck pond (and even spotted a hopping toad!), the aquarium, a giant play garden and miniature golf.

My Buddy Gavin...by Melissa

Ben and Cousin Gavin are only 6 months apart and have a great time playing together. At Cousin Owen's birthday party, they were busy with bikes, balls and trains! I know they will remain close friends...although they are bound to cause lots of trouble!
