Vaca

This is not santa it is max's new invention....can you guess what?!!!! A spitz disposal!! Who needs a cup!!!

Last weekend we decided it would be a good idea to go and visit Darren, Laura, Renea and baby # 2. (Which i think is going to be a boy! Ya for boys....we love them!)

I'm warning you now...you are about to see alot of pictures. Great pictures of tons of fun. I could write to you and explain what we did but it wouldn't be as fun. We really enjoyed our mini vacation. Thanks D and L for letting us come and visit. (Now you have to do the same!!!)

While there we visited the U of S, a down town mall, the girls canned peaches, and we had tons of fun.

Bubbles N' Bath's

Benson LOVES his bath time. I would say it is his Favorite time, besides eating!!! (i'm sure you couldn't have seen from his many MUSCLE rolls!)

The Stanley Cup was here.

The pictures are backwards. oops. The writing and story are at the bottom of all the pictures.

p.s. Anyone reading this who has CTV or TSN will have to watch for Benson. He was being filmed while he was sitting in the cup!

WOW.....What an opportunity! It all started with a delayed plane. The Stanley cup was to come to Canada and the plane it was arriving on was delayed. They have a very tight schedule and needed to get to Saskatoon or Regina for their scheduled time and couldn't. Who ever was in charge called around looking for pilots. A long story short....Kris Versteeg's dad is friends with Barry Clements (they know each other from farming) and knows that he is a pilot. Some calls were made and next thing we know.....we have front row chances to touch the Stanley cup. How cool is that!! We walked up to go and get pictures and Kris says to max "You should put him in the cup!" Max looks at him and says "Can I?!!!!!!" You will see Benson the star sitting in the cup! We got to follow the CTV and TSN crews threw the hanger and out to the runway. It was pretty cool.

p.s. Dad if you read this.....we thought of you while we were there!!!

It's a BIRD

I was sitting on the couch chatting with max while he was feeding Benson. In the middle of chatting I hear this clunk, clunk. I get up, open the curtain a tiny bit, (every now and then we have birds hit our window and that is what i thought it might be) and what do I see.......... A CROW sitting on the ledge. It was staring me right in the eyes...it creaped me out. Max knocked on the window and it just looked at us like we are crazy. This was our entertainment for the day. "A Bird"

Bare Bottomed Baby

Benson LOVES TO BE "Bare Naked." A few nights ago I was getting Baby ready for bed....I took of his clothes and diaper....left him on the floor....ran to get some clean pj's and this is what I found...........................A "Bare Bottomed Baby" I'm very, very, very, very....lets just say very lucky he rolled over to play because when I picked him up to diaper and pj him....he had wet the blanket!!! This is becoming a trend. Benson just had his 6month check up and also peed on the Doc. It was so funny.

p.s.Benson is doing great. He is back to 20lbs 11oz (which is where is was at 4months, he got sick and lost 4lbs and finaly gained it back). He is 28 1/2 inches long and still growing. We are happy that he is happy.

The Quiet Book Mess

This project has been a long time waiting. I have always wanted to make a quiet book for my children. Now I can!! Over the last few years I have been collecting material/scraps from many people. The idea to make a book popped into my head a few days ago and this is what our living room turned into....a quiet book mess. With fabric, papers, cutting boards, scissors, and a baby everywhere it was time to get down to business. I started by drawing on paper what I wanted on the pages. Then i cut out the material I wanted and set it on the paper so that i could keep it organized. From here I have started to sew the pages. It is so exciting to see the pages come together. More pictures are to come as the book comes together. Wish me luck!!

He eats ANYTHING!

Benson has decided that whatever is in his view he eats. If it's in your hand he wants it, if its sitting beside him he wants it, if it makes noise he loves it and where do you think those things go....right to his mouth! Benson will chew on anything. Blankets, shoes, cell phones and even marshmallow bags!! (don't worry I don't let him have for too long!! the bag of course)
