It has been about a month since I blogged… May was a very busy month! I will try to get up to speed, but next week begins my Spring Cleaning. I just had a couple funny pictures for you today…
I frequently dress the family in coordinating outfits, completely unintentionally. Last Sunday we were walking up to church when I realized that both Natalie and I were wearing skinny jeans, silver colored shoes, blue ruffled tops, and cardigans! When we got home I took a picture to mark the occasion, as I usually try to do when that sort of thing happens.
A couple weeks before I snapped this one of the kids on our way out the door to a playdate, wearing complimenting outfits (again, I do not do this on purpose, and usually it is someone else who points it out to me!):
Going back in the archives to October, Natalie and I wore similar outfits to MOPS one day:
Just wanted to share those funnies! Hopefully I’ll be back with more soon.
On his actual birthday, Ben got a donut for breakfast (it’s tradition).
That day was pretty normal. Had a MOPS planning meeting at church, followed by a play date. That evening after dinner, Ben got to open his present. I was trying to get him all pumped up. Hard to tell who was more excited: Ben, or Natalie?
We got Ben a balance bike for his birthday. It doesn’t have any pedals, he is supposed to learn to coast along and balance on it. He really likes it but is just a little bit too short still to work it properly. Give him another inch and it will be a lot easier!
The next day was Ben’s party. We invited his best buddies Isaac, Jack and Will (and their families) for a little lunch and cake.
It’s pretty easy to entertain little boys… some bubbles dumped on the ground are a great thing to play in!
The cake is my favorite part, you may have noticed. This one was three layers white cake with Swiss meringue buttercream with a touch of lemon juice (quite possibly my favorite frosting ever). The filling was strawberries, lemon curd, and more frosting. It turned out very similar to a Bread Basket cake, if you are familiar with that Camarillo bakery.
My friend Katie took pictures so I could concentrate on the party. This is not the greatest family picture, but at least we tried! And the birthday boy was happy, that’s what matters, right?
The results are in, and I did manage to beat my best time from 5 years ago! I crossed the finish line in 51:10, 40 seconds faster. I was having a really bad running day though and feel like I could have run under 50 minutes if it hadn’t been for the stomach ache, acid reflux, and 80 degree heat in Simi Valley! There is always another goal in mind, so I am making up a training schedule to get ready for another race in July! My friend Tiffany ran too and we had a fun time together. The fun thing about smaller local races is that you actually have a chance of winning an award. She came in 2nd and I came in 4th in our age category, not bad!
I can’t believe the “baby” of our family is now two years old! He is talking up a storm and showing his hilarious personality. I really thought he would be the quiet one, since his big sister could talk your ear off! But he repeats everything she says and has built up quite a vocabulary of his own sayings. His little exclamations are so funny:
“So cute!” (very high pitched)
“Watch this.”
“Oh maaaan, never EVER!”
“I do dat! I do dat!”
“Yeeeaaahhh, I know!”
“Okay dokay!”
“I the leader!”
“Seeya! ‘Morrow!” (See you tomorrow)
Even though he will copy anything you say, Ben refuses to say his own name. This is clearly some sort of joke, because he finds it very funny. He does refer to himself as “buddy” sometimes, for example, “Buddy come too?”
His favorite joke is to hide one of his shoes behind his back while you put his shoes on, shrug his shoulders and say it’s “Gone! Hiding!”
He is still inseparable from his beloved brown blanket for long periods of time, but has been good about leaving it in the car when we are out and about. Ben changed the blanket’s name from “Beeky” to something more like “Beekadee” and sometimes even “Beekadee Boy”. He definitely thinks it’s a boy blanket. The other day he was asking me, “Where Beekadee? Where him go?”
Robots are one of Ben’s favorite things. One day while he and Natalie were playing with the cooking utensils he was thrilled to discover a robot (AKA bottle opener) in the drawer. The other picture is Ben pretending to be a robot. He did this himself while playing in Andy’s side of the closet. (I try not to keep too many toys around… hence the playing in unusual places.) He does a robot walk and talks in a robotic voice.
He is a loyal brother to his “Dada” as he calls Nata (confusing at first, but he calls Andy “Daddy”.) We could not have asked for a better playmate for her! It’s fun to watch now that he is understanding and so involved in the games she comes up with for them! What a guy.
Here’s a little video from my phone, of Ben counting. He can actually count to ten when he’s not hamming it up for the camera!
I love to see what the kids come up with when left to their own devices. One morning they built a “rocketship” out of chairs and car seats, completely by themselves. Here they are doing their “1-2-3… BLAST OFF!” Natalie is great at coming up with fun make believe games and Ben is thrilled to play along. I love how well they play together. This was actually back in February and I didn’t have a chance to post it, but I thought you all might enjoy one of my favorite things in action. This is why I keep the camera in arm’s reach!
