Jake the Dog

Papa and Grandma got a new puppy! Awesome.

Seeing the boys with the little guy was adorable...

May National Park

Over the weekend, we headed to Ft. Wayne for the September birthday celebrations. It was a gorgeous weekend, so we enjoyed much of the weekend in the great outdoors. Grandma and Grandpa have a beautiful, huge backyard with a play set and tire swing, bridge, and tree house fort- it is very cool. It is basically like a national park for the kids...

Grandpa made a bonfire one night.

Growing like a weed.

Benjamin is 13 months old, and growing like a weed, and talking up a storm. He says Momma, Dada, Thomas, hi, and many other words that we cannot quite figure out. And he is moving all over the place, crawling and climbing over EVERYTHING, including chairs and tables and couches- he is such a little monkey. I know it is just a matter of time before he climbs out of his crib. He is not walking yet, but simply appears to be happy to just scoot around on all fours- I am ready for him walk already though. Public places are not easy with a baby who wants to crawl around!

Happy Birthday to our blue-eyed blondie! We had a wonderful day celebrating with family and friends...we love you little Benjamin, or as Thomas would say, "Happy Birthday to you, Benji!"

Visit to Papa and Grandma Galiher's House

Early in August, I was away at a Shaklee Convention, and Sean had already started school. So, the kiddos got to visit their Grandparents in Griffith for the weekend, and they had a ball!

Here is how they kept our two little guys busy...

Picking and eating homegrown tomatoes! Yum!

Checking out the animals at the 4-H Fair.

Backyard Oasis

When we are not traveling, we love to hang at home...

on the swingset, in the sandbox and eating ice cream!

Yummy!
