Cuteness Overload

I was pulling weeds and look over and this is happening. No coaxing, no staging, just the two of them relaxing. I will say though, that Danny had just started up the weed beater and they were both a little nervous about it. I am surprised Benson sat there though, because he usually tries to get away when Ellie puts her arm around him. He must think he's being restrained and wants out!

Crib or Toy Box?

Benson didn't want me to get him out of his crib when he woke up from his nap today, so Ellie decided to entertain him with some toys. This was after about 20 minutes.

This was after about 40 minutes.

After close to an hour, Ellie wanted to join in the fun. I think I'll just leave them in there the rest of the night!

Not Done With Soccer Yet!

I couldn't resist putting this one up. Obviously, Ellie is the one trying to stand on her head.

Bear Lake

It's a good thing we went to Bear Lake when we did, the grass was getting pretty high!

So many treasures and fun things to explore in the barn! Hours of entertainment. The kids thought it was their play house. We were killing time while Danny mowed the grass and no one was interested in riding the lawnmower with him today.

I love all the shadows and lines the sun made in the barn.

Ellie will always put on a show if she can see herself in the camera!

Hanging out at the creek, trying to find a fish. They both about fell in at different times. Clumsy kids.

Our white little boy needs to be covered head to toe! He was such a good kid for not having a nap.

There is nothing more entertaining to our kids than a bucket and a shovel. Second thought, who needs the bucket?!

Whoops!

Bear Lake never disappoints. It's nice that it's really shallow and the water is pretty warm near the beach. You don't have to worry about the kids getting too deep either. Unfortunately our favorite lunch spot, The Bear Cave, hasn't opened for the season yet. No delicious milkshakes. But lucky for us, we practically had the beach to ourselves!

Buddies

These two are getting to be pretty good buddies. They frequently get in trouble for messing around during dinner. Benson thinks Ellie is hilarious and Ellie loves to make him laugh.

Simple Joys

 

Benson at 21 Months- A Little Late!

I am 21 months old and quite a character! I have a new scowl face with scrunched eyebrows. I love jumping on Daddy's belly then saying "it's ok!" when he groans. I use the word "stop" a lot and am putting more words together and even some sentences. I am also learning colors. I am wearing 2t clothes and HATE being naked!
