Ben...



We were traveling to San Diego on Ben's birthday, so when we got there, she had this cake for Ben. He loves cars, so this was perfect. He had to have all the cars on his plate. We had to re- light the candles a dozen times so that he could sing "happy burpday" to himself and blow out all the candles. No big bash for the Benjamin boy, but he didn't know any different. Earlier this week the kids kept reminding me that Ben didn't get to open any presents, so we had a #2 birthday this week and he got to open some presents. Whew....glad everyone is happy.



I just have to write this down before I forget...


I'm so mad at myself for not writing down all the funny things my kids say. I always say I will and never do. Ty made me laugh out loud tonight though and thought this was the perfect place to quickly record his silly self.

So he comes in from playing outside. He has literally been outside since school got out at 2:45 and it is now 7pm (except for a 30 minute dinner break). He gets so dirty! I have to get a picture of how dirty this child gets. He is like pig pen. Anyhow, I say "Ty go jump in the shower" (as I observe black smear marks on his face and filthy dark brown legs and hands). He says (in his most annoyed voice) Mom, can I just wash my hands and legs, because that's what's dirty?" I say, "no Ty, your whole body is dirty, go shower". He lifts up his shirt and says "no, look at my stomach, it's not dirty".

Maybe it was a "you had to be there moment", but he was just as serious as he could be.


I love you Ty....
By the way, that is not his dirty pic, that is his no teeth pic!

Birthday Boy...

Happy Birthday to my 3 year old baby boy! I love you buddy. I have asked you all day "who has a birthday today?" and you say "it's Ben's Burpday". We had fun watching you blow out your birthday candles 15 times while singing the Happy Burpday song to yourself. I can't wait to go find some crabs in the tide pools tomorrow with you. I love you.

Blogger won't let me add pics.
