Your first holliday

We spent the next 2 days tuckered out


and then for the 4th of July, we packed up for your first road trip to visit some more family.

On your first road trip you met Uncle Casey dads brother, and 3 of his kids Bennet, Maya, and Porter. While we and grammie & Mal stayed at Dad's youngest brothers Uncle Robbie and Aunt Brisa house in Rexburg.





For the 4th of July we took a trip to Rexburgs sights...The Sand Dunes...And Got stuck in the Sand... Thanks Casey for sharing your pictures I kept Cal covered in the car the wind was just too sandy.


Rolled down to sand dunes...

Wiped sand out of every surface of our body's

Bennett



Porter


Stuffed our sandy selves at the BIG JUDS!


Maya and the BIG JUD BURGER!

Sitting in the shade at the Hot Springs...Benji had the great idea to make a fishing pole and hook some fish for after lunch snack.

Aunt Mals fiance Brice came to visit as well.

Upon our arrival home while I was admiring you baby Calvin James in your crib your brother was learning some cool new tricks. Teaching himself how to ride his bike!

Leprechauns & the Tooth Fairy

Leprechaun coin....Benji made about 10 Leprechaun traps all through our house in hopes of catching the little green guy and making him tell where he hid his gold!

unfortunately the little bugger was not lured into the traps, & he
messed up our house, turned our milk and German oven pancakes green to show his tricky nature...

But he was kind in the end and left a little gold candy and a fun fortune clover to make up for his naughtiness...Benji is a "happy successful" boy!

the adventure did not end with our morning. Benji went to Gymnastics and then to school where I was able to help the little kindergartners find clues "Lucky the Leprechaun" left all through their school and led them to a pot of his gold!

Benji is the little green guy on the left.

He was even lucky enough to find one of the treasures and clues hidden in the library...The blarney stones for each kid!

Games played after the pot o gold was discovered.

When Benji was asked what he would do with the money if he found the pot O gold...He said he would buy infinity toys...

I have always loved St. Patricks Day. I am so glad we get to celebrate it with Benji every year. These are the great moments as parents!


The Next Day Benji Got his FIRST visit from the TOOTH FAIRY! He pulled it out all by himself!

Before he lost his tooth sometime last week We talked about the tooth fairy and that they sometimes leave money under your pillow in exchange for your lost tooth. Benji enthralled in the idea said, If she leaves $ 10.00 I would give (counting on his hands) $8 to you to adopt a baby, and then I would use $2 to buy me a toy! (he is so stinking sweet!)

We are so proud of him ... :( our little boy is growing up. Sigh :(

Slightly crass...But made us Laugh!

Imagine our Surprise when we opened up the bag of cookies intended for Benjis Valentines and found...LOOK CLOSE....

"Happy F*%ts Day"!

Benji got a big hoot out of it too..For the next week he would say "Happy F*%ts Day!!!"and Giggle up a storm!


Our special Valentines day Family Night Dinner... followed by a special candle lit chocolate molten lava cake dessert for my mom, 4 sister, niece Ryelle and my sweet hearts Dan & Benji.

LOVE YOU!

Puppy Love-Nelly- We Love you!

(Benji took about 5 photos of Nelly on V-day)

Did I mention my latest project. I finally got the black antic table I wanted...After many coats of paint, and lacquer. I love it!
