Happy Ben

Wanted to share a cute pic of Ben having a ton of fun playing with Grandma and Buzz Lightyear!

Cookie Monster!

Ben has really been liking helping me cook the last few months so I've been trying as much as possible to involve him. The day before Grandma and Grandpa came, we make chocolate chip cookies. This probably wasn't the best idea cleanliness-wise as most of the flour and sugar ended up on the floor but Ben had a great time.

Here he is scooping the cookies onto the baking pan...

And just like his Daddy, he had the 'one cookie on the pan, one cookie in my mouth' methodology...





Full mouth and full belly of cookie dough = Happy Ben!



Growing Baby

Brody turned 3 weeks old a few days back and boy is he growing and looking so much like his brother at this age! Here are a few of our most recent pics of Brody and some of the funny faces he makes...

Airport Fun

Grandma and Grandpa Bolger came for a visit this past week to see Ben and meet Brody. On day 1, we decided to surprise Ben with a visit to the airport for lunch. Of course, he was in heaven! When at the airport, he not only watches all the planes land and take off but he also brings every toy plane he owns, places them on the ground and makes a model airport.

First Family Walk...

Before Brody arrived, we would go on hikes and walks in the hills behind our house just about every weekend. So this past Sunday, we put both of the boys in the double Bob and headed out on a walk. Of course both boys fell asleep the minute we left the driveway so they didn't get to enjoy the scenery but we had fun having a few minutes to chat about 'adult' stuff...

What to do on a lazy Saturday Night?

What to do on a lazy Saturday night with a newborn at home and an active toddler looking for some fun? That's right... movie night! We pulled out the air popper and made Ben's fav snack of popcorn and watched 'Open Season,' a really funny animated flick. We are really trying to be creative on how we can entertain Ben while home with Brody and movie night proved to be a success!

The Farm

With a nearly 2 week old in tow, our weekend was a bit more mellow than usual. We don't want to bring him to big crowds or places with tons of germs so we did small little outings so Ben and I wouldn't go stir crazy in the house.

On Saturday, we went to The Farm to get Strawberries and Corn and of course, to see all the animals. Ben even got surprised with a blackberry sorbet bar. Not a bad outing, according to Ben!

Here, my three boys sit eating their sorbet bar and strawberries at The Farm...
