Lots of pictures

He loves to chew on the tylenol bottles. We finished off one the other day and I thought that'd be a good one to let him chew on, just in case he somehow figured out how to suck it out through the top.

He was so excited to sit on the couch all by himself.
Then Ally came along and he decided it wasn't that fun anymore.

Ally loves to ride her bike. I think, if she doesn't have a big growth spurt this summer, that this bike should last through this summer, then she'll be putting a bike on her wish list.

Ben loves to carry things around when he walks, especially if it has dirt on it.

Still has the shovel.

We don't have any weeds/flowers in our yard, so the kids have been excited to pick the ones in the neighbors yard. Ben has even figured out that if you blow or just lick the dandelions they come off of the stem and usually into his mouth.

So much to explore.

Ally, her best bud, and the neighbor dog.

Ben LOVES dogs, when he realized the neighbor dog was outside he was really trying to hurry over to see her. Unfortunetly for Ben, the dog is very skiddish around kids, so we don't let him near her. When he sees a dog, he gets all excited and says "dog". Well, at least you can tell he's trying to say dog.

Ally has the power.

Ben blowing kisses.

Hi Mom!

Little story: Last night Matt was grilling chicken for me/us. Ally wanted to go out with him, so I helped her through the door and shut the screen door behind her, she proceeded to shut the glass door also. Matt went to come in the house and opened the glass door and PLOWED through the screen door. He didn't damage the screen, just took the whole door down. So then he got to spend a few aggravating minutes putting it back in place. Now it slides much easier, thanks babe!

Last night after dessert, I told Ally to put her dishes in the sink and she did. Then I noticed that water was running, so I look over and she's cleaning off her dishes, with Matt's ear muffs on. She said her ears get cold when she washes dishes, silly girl.

All nice and clean after a shower.

From this picture, can you tell that Mr. B is in need of his first hair cut?

How about from this picture?

Or from this angle?

Last night as I was taking pictures of his beautiful blonde hair, it brought back all the memories of Sette's hair. I loved running my fingers through her hair. It was always so soft, curly and fun to play with.

We had 2 firsts happen today:

1. Ally had her first dentist appt with a pediatric dentist. It went fabulous. If you have kids, take them to a pediatric dentist, it'll go SO MUCH smoother.

2. Benson got his first hair trim. I trimmed the sides up, so I don't have to keep tucking them behind his ears. Even when tucked behind his ears, they were starting to curl out. It was cute, but not boy cute. He looks so grown up with just the sides trimmed.
