Another fun week!

Benjamin had a great second week of school. He has already learned colors in Spanish. He also learned "Adios" and "Buenos noches!" I'm so proud of him.

We went to Bouncin' Bears today. Of course the boys had a blast!

Summer is over!

Well, it's hard to believe another summer is gone! We just celebrated Benjamin's birthday a few weeks ago, which was tons of fun. Benjamin just started pre-K last week, and he has loved it. He has already learned how God made the earth, he's learned a new song, and he's getting to know all his classmates.

Jonathan is talking more and more and still growing of course. He sure loves his brother. In the mornings, if Benjamin isn't awake yet, Jonathan will open his door, wave at him and say, "Hi!" Jonathan also loves his daddy very much and always asks for him when he's not around.

Here are some random pictures from the last month and a half.

Lake Claiborne

 We went to Homer, Louisiana this weekend to visit with my friends Leslie and Danielle and their families. We had the absolute best time! We rode jet skis, jumped and played in the water, rode on the boat, ate some really great food, and just had so much fun.

Normally, Jonathan does not pose for pictures because I usually try to capture moments with my phone, and he always wants my phone. Well, I got smart and brought my camera, and he was posing all over the place.

 We visited Gran and Poppy before coming to the lakehouse, and Gran got Benjamin and Jonathan these matching robot shirts and matching dinosaur shirts. They love them!

 Benjamin had a great time riding on the tube with Makenzie. He might like her a little too :)

 Here are all the girls! Mackenzie, Isabella and Brooke. Aren't they adorable?

 Riding on the boat was so fun. But Benjamin would always ask to go back to the house so he could jump off the pier. And boy, did we jump! I realize I'm old and it's not that fun for me. But Benjamin poked his lip out and said, "But Mom, don't you want to jump?" And of course, I did.

 Jonathan had a hard day at ... play? Anyways, he was tired and fell asleep while riding the jet ski.

Farewell, until next year!

Favorite things

So Benjamin loves to help me cook. He always asks if he can help. The other day he even asked if he could go help his daddy work in the yard. Even though the willingness will not last forever, it's nice to have a little helper. Mary bought Benjamin a Spiderman shirt this week. And it is his new favorite thing to wear - he hardly takes it off. Benjamin's favorite thing to do is change clothes, like eight times a day. He changes his clothes in the middle of the night. Looking in the bright side, it's takes less time in the morning to get ready since he's already in daytime clothes.
Jonathan is crazier than ever - he throws his food (which isn't a new thing,) throws toys, throws temper tantrums and spits milk everywhere. He's quite a handful. He's talking more and more - his latest is "more cookie." I know that's hard to imagine :)
We're on our way to Gran and Poppy's right now. Benjamin keeps telling us we missed it, and we keep saying, "no, we didn't - it's just really far!"
