Zoe Our Little Christmas Dog!

We worked really hard to try and get Benjamin to sit and smile and look at the camera for a Christmas card picture tonight. We were at it for about 20-30 minutes! While we were regrouping at one point, I looked down and this is what I saw......sweet little Zoe sitting perfectly in front of the Christmas tree just waiting for her picture to be taken! What a sweetheart! If only Benjamin were always this easy!!! :) Merry Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving.....Finally!

After many attempts, I finally have a post from our Thanksgiving weekend! I don't know what the problem was, but I couldn't upload these pictures. I finally started trying uploading them smaller and it worked....who knows! If you want you can click on them to make them bigger. Anyways, we had a great Thanksgiving with all of our families! Here are some pictures of our fun time!

Benjamin had fun playing with my cousin Clara!


So much fun that soon he was hugging her....and knocking her down!

Dave being silly with his brother Mike!

Benjamin flirting with Mike's girlfriend, Kathy! He was really putting on the charm for her!

We had fun, but I think Benjamin missed his kitties!

We came back early Sunday so we could hang out with our friends from Purdue that live in New York now, Adrian and Stacia! We had a great visit with them and were so happy to see them! Benjamin had fun flirting with Stacia too! I'm going to have to keep my eye on this little guy!

Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving too!

Another Cute Sleeping Picture

I tried to get Benjamin to take a nap in his toddler bed today. He was fine until I went to leave. So I decided to put the pillow from the bed into his crib and let him get used to using that. He fell right asleep on it and looked so cute to me! He has his hands up by his head because as he sleeps he occasionally plays with his hair!!! So sweet!!!!

Here's what we've been up to the past week or so........

We went to the zoo with my sister two weekends ago. It was a lot of fun and Benjamin loved seeing all the animals!


Benjamin in front of the lions with his lion shirt on! They were so close and moving around and roaring! It was pretty cool!


He was so brave and fed the giraffe!

We had a fun week with my family while Dave was in Charleston on a business trip and we even got to go with Dave's mom and see baby Jack! Shawna and Jack were staying with her parents and Benjamin got to see their horses, which he absolutely loved! He said horse about a million times! He was more receptive to Jack this time. He kissed him on the head and let Jack hold onto his finger!

We had another ultrasound of baby Anna and got to see that she is doing good! Isn't she so cute?!?!?!

And here's Benjamin right now! He fell asleep with me in my bed and I had to get up to go to the bathroom and couldn't resist taking a picture!

Funnies Of The Day

I got some funny pictures from our day today. I tell ya, it's always interesting in our house!

When we got up after Benjamin's nap, this is what we found when we came into the living room:


And this is what happened after Benjamin discovered Pepper in his chair:

He was pretty excited because Pepper became very easy prey that low to the ground! I'm not so sure she'll chose that spot for a nap again!

This is Benjamin's new Colts outfit. I got it at Wal-mart about a month ago for like $15! I think he is so stinkin' cute in it!!!!


This is what Benjamin did when you asked him where football was:


And this is just a cute picture of his dimples!

We went to Kohl's tonight to look for new shoes for Dave and Benjamin. I found some for Benjamin, but discovered that he has already moved up a size, so I ended up buying two pairs for him. He loved trying them on and he didn't want to put his old shoes back on afterwards, so he wore one of the pairs out! This is him pointing to them and saying shoes! The tag was too thick to tear off, so he wore his shoes, tag and all, for the rest of the evening. When we stopped at Walgreens on the way home to pick up some things, I told Dave people probably thought we stole them! (Sorry about the mess of toys in the background....it was a pretty wild day!!!)

Hope all of your days are filled with as many funny moments as our's usually are! :)
