Ben looked at some books in his rocking chair this afternoon. He is a boy after my own heart (I do love to read). I like how he uses his feet to help hold the book. :)

Awwwh, my little scholar. He's going to be the smartest boy. :-) Give him some hugs for me. We'll have to do the WebCam again soon so I can see him in action. Love, Mom Walker
Curt, Ben, and I spent a sticky Sunday afternoon at the ballpark. We had tickets to see the Fort Wayne TinCaps . Last summer we went to three games together, so we thought we should try to fit at least one in this summer. The whole drive there it was pouring rain. I was a little worried that we would spend the game in the rain, or not be able to attend at all. Thankfully, it cleared up while we were parking. Then, it got really hot and humid out. Ben was already dripping sweat before the game even started! The wind picked up during the game and that really helped cool us off. We left when the 7th inning started with black clouds rolling in. As we drove home it was pouring rain again, so I guess we left just in the nick of time. We got lawn tickets, which we love, because Ben can move around and we can all stretch out our legs. A family photo before the game started. It was hard to get everyone looking at the camera. :) The game getting started. This is Ben's head at the start ...
Ben is getting his one year pictures taken later this week (I know...I'm a little behind). So, we practiced smiling for the camera. Hopefully, we will get at least one smile when we go...last time he was not so cooperative. :)
Curt, Ben, and I had a fun afternoon decorating sugar cookies. I haven't made sugar cookies in a while. Every time I make them, it seems like things go bad after I try to roll them out. It turns into a dough nightmare. Usually I can figure it out and make it work, but then I vow not to make them again for a long time. Today I tried a new recipe I found online and it also shared a tip that I thought was awesome. They said to roll the dough out immediately between two pieces of parchment paper, then lay it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Then, I could cut the heart shapes from the already rolled out dough and I didn't even need to use any extra flour. It changed my world...I think I might not hate making sugar cookies after all! The cookies and decorating supplies Ben took his sprinkle artwork very seriously. Curt did a fabulous job with the pink frosting. Our work is done and we are ready to enjoy a couple cookies! Anyone want a cookie? ...
