Busy, busy, busy weekend

On Thursday night we left to drive up to my parent's house. We had a weekend planned with many activities. Friday morning, Curt left with Derek to go play golf and see a Detroit Tigers game. Friday evening my cousin was getting married, so Ben and I went to that with the rest of my family. He only made it through about 10 minutes of the wedding. I caught some of the rest of it from the hallway. At the reception he did really well sitting on my lap (and the laps of other family members :)). We left the reception during a huge thunderstorm. The roads got more flooded than I have ever seen them!

Saturday, we enjoyed some fun in the pool with my sister's kids. It was a sunny, hot day...perfect for the pool. I also got to go to dinner with my friend Rachel. It was so nice to be able to visit with her without the kiddos. Overall we had a great weekend visiting with family and friends.

Ben's cousin Emma reading him a book. Emma loves to read and Ben loves to be read to...perfect combo! :)
Being silly with grandpa.


Ben surrounded by cousins in the pool. He loved riding around in that boat.


Molly kept saying things to Ben that would make him laugh hysterically. I think she was saying "yum yum" to him during this picture...I have no idea why he thought it was so funny.


A little family photo out by the grape vines.

My dad and mom with Ben. He was hungry and would not put down his snack cup for anything!


Pointing at and saying, "Pool" to my brother Joe.


Getting comfy on the ride home. Curt had his arm stretched between our seats and I thought it was funny how Ben had to set his feet up on them.

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
