My friend Savannah

My sister, Nattie's best friend came to visit from Houston. Their daughter is 4 months older than Ben but they had fun playing together. Here's some pictures from our trip to Breckenridge last weekend. We had a lot of fun!

Sunday's Best

Here are some pictures of Ben in his Sunday's best outfit. We had just got out of church and he found this garden he decided to play in. So I took it as a photo op.

I can see much better from here...

Ben is a climbing machine, so if we're not looking he loves to climb on top of the coffee table to watch "Elmo". Here's a couple of pics of him watching "Elmo" and pretending to drink wawa's from a cup.

Chillin w/ Mama!

Here's a picture Luke took of Ben and I after I just got done with my bike ride home. I've been commuting once a week on my bike to and from work. And Luke got me a new road bike so it's been great. Life is good!

My lil surfer dude!

Oh my goodness! I found this board shirt in LA for my lil Ben and it is too cute. He looks so freakin adorable in it. I could just eat him up!!

What a beautiful moment to share

I didn't have space to put this picture below, but it's a great picture of the first moment the family of three were together in this world. It was quite an emotional moment for everyone, but especially these new parents. Congratulations Paul & Brenda on your beautiful baby boy!

My newest nephew, we're so happy to have you here!!

I'm too tired to get up, Mommy!

I went to waken Ben this morning and he was sleeping on top of his elephant (Trunky) back arched and all. I was thinking this can't be comfortable...but he would not wake up so it must be. The flash on the camera didn't even phase him.

Throwing Rocks in the pond...

On Luke's Friday off, he went to visit Grandma Betsy. He ate watermelon and played with Grandma lots. She saved up a bunch of rocks for him to throw in the pond. One of the pictures he's stomping his foot on the bridge to tell the "trolls" he's passing over! Too cute!

Leaf, I'll meet you at the Tour de France!!

'Sup!

Here is a picture of Ben in Luke's cycling hat. He put it on sideways. He looked pretty funny.

At the park...

Here are some cute photos of Ben at the park. I love the one where he's kissing mommy through the little peep hole. He's growing up so fast. We just love this lil guy with all our hearts. What a blessing he is.

I can use a spoon like a BIG BOY!!

Ben's gotten pretty good with utensils. Although once he's full, it's all down hill from there. Usually the bowl ends up turned upside down and there's milk all over!! Oh well, gotta learn sometime!

Dada's hat

Ben loves to wear his hat. Mostly because he's lived in one ever since he was born. Anyways, he saw dada's hat and thought it was his and put it on and pranced around the house. Needless to say, it was a bit big. Pretty darn cute.

Happy Memorial Day!!

10K later, here's mommy after the Bolder Boulder race. It was a lot of fun as usual. This year I ran with my next door neighbor Stacy. Since my usual partner is 8 months preggo. Happy Memorial Day!!

At the zoo...with my friend Jett!

We went to the zoo and the daddy lion was practically laying against the glass. So we got a picture of the boys in the wagon getting a good look. We had lots of fun. We got to see the orangutans up close too.

Spring Carnival

A local church put on a kids carnival in our neighborhood this weekend. So we decided we'd meetup with some friends and take a look around. The kiddos weren't quite old enough to play most of the games, but it was fun anyways. Then Abuelita and Abuelito surprised us and showed up. We had lots of fun.

Ben on Pearl Street

We took Luke's Mom out on Pearl Street yesterday for Mother's Day, and they had turned on this little water park. It's really a great idea. The water just pops up randomly and the kids love it. It took Ben a while to warm up to it, but I think he started to like it. The other pictures are of him playing on a giant snail and a giant beaver. To top of the day, he had a Cherry Garcia ice cream from Ben & Jerry's...yummy. He had a great day!!
