these two had some fun with Ben's cars the other day
It was pretty darn cute watching them "play". It won't be long until they are vrooming cars together!

Happy 4th of July!
tired boy
my new Toms wedges, love them!
the coolest kite
most of the gang
still waking up
Lauren enjoying her first snow cone! I forgot how good they are!
so tired but she refuses to slow down!
lots of bike riding all weekend- Oma & Opa's street is perfect for it!
Lauren loves Oma's jetted tub.
Watching the fireworks. Ben was pretty nervous about it all, he takes after his mama!
Lauren loved them!
We had a great 4th of July in Bellingham with Oma & Opa. I forgot my camera but thankfully my i phone did the trick:) The weather was so beautiful and our day was filled with parks on the waterfront, good friends, & family! The perfect all American day!

Video Overload!
I know I know, I just put tons of videos up. When I finally get around to uploading my flip I just go all out with the videos. The grandparents are the only ones I actually expect to watch them, so the rest of you are off the hook:) But I do have to say, some of them are pretty darn entertaining if you do feel inclined to click on them!
Cars 2
We took the kids to the very first showing of Cars 2 on Friday. 10 AM and the theater was packed! The movie was cute but probably better suited for a little older kids. Kind of a complex story line, sort of a James Bond meets Cars. But Ben still loved seeing McQueen!
Our Cyclists
We brought our bikes down to the Y today and after rock climbing we rode to Starbucks. Notice something about Ben's bike?
no training wheels! That's right, this boy has learned to ride a two wheeler. He still kind of rides like he's drunk- he is all over the place, but he can do it!
And he is pretty darn proud! So are we;)
Rock Climbing
Lauren has been DYING to go rock climbing at the Y and now that she is 5 she can! Last week at Ben's t-ball practice Lauren made friends with Haley, the t-ball equipment manager from the Y and we found out she is also in charge of the rock climbing wall! Lauren loved her so much we had her babysit Saturday night! She was THRILLED to go see her today and do her first climb.
It was a little trickier than she expected so she wanted Kevin to go so she could watch.
She did pretty good and got about 1/2 the way up the wall. She did this over and over and over!
Climbing with dad.
I decided to give it a shot too, it's not really my thing being that I am scared to death of heights (and I count anything above 6 ft as scary)! It was fun though, but more challenging than I expected.
Lauren got Haley to climb with her too. Lauren is already talking about going back next weekend!

new hue
Kevin painted our room yesterday and we LOVE it!
Now it's time for new bedding, we are thinking all white.
Amazing what a difference a room color can make!
MVP
Ben started t-ball tonight! He was so excited to go!
He had some hesitations once the playing began but dad helped him get through it and he kept on playing!
on deck
and he's up!
slugger!
on first base and pointing to where he needs to run next
ready to run!
Can't wait to see the rest of the season!

Three Years Old!!!
Ben was excited to open his presents from Mom & Dad this morning!
A baseball mitt for the t-ball team he starts playing on this Wednesday!
SOOOO excited about his motorcycle balance bike!
A car launcher!
Favorite breakfast- chocolate milk and a "mussin" (muffin).
Kevin took the day off and we headed to the Zoo for Ben's big day. We hadn't been since winter and it was interesting to see how different Ben was this trip. He was really interested in the animals and had a million questions about all of them.
We went to the dinosaur exhibit. Kind of cool but also kind of small and overpriced. (Lauren insisted on taking this picture of us!)
We ran into our friend Riley and she and Lauren happened to be wearing the same skirt!
Crazy how big dinosaurs were!
He may be 3 but still not brave enough to ride a horse on the carousal. Mom had to ride with him and we had to sit on the bench:)
After the zoo we went to swim lessons- and Ben LOVED them and was a swimming maniac (so not normal for him) and then we met the family at TCBY. Hadley brought him a Lightning McQueen balloon which he is love with.
What a great day celebrating the sweetest, cutest, most lovable little boy!
