Celebrating Birthdays

Saturday morning we drove up to Lansing, MI to celebrate some birthdays with Curt's family. In the evening all of the adults got to go out to dinner at PF Chang's. I was really excited about that because I haven't eaten at one since we moved from Indy. The kids stayed home with two babysitters that did a great job watching all of them! It was nice to get out and have some "adult" time.

The kids had fun playing outside. It was very warm out and they got very sweaty. I thought it was sweet how Peyton pushed Ben on his car through the grass on such a hot day.

The birthday girls and boy: Curt's mom, our niece Jenna, and Curt.

The kids getting ready for some birthday dessert. My sister-in-law Betsy made really cute flower pots for everyone with cake, ice cream, and oreos on top (for the dirt). They were delicious!


Ben had a first this weekend...his first bee sting. When we were outside on Saturday, a bee flew by him and stung his arm. I didn't even realize what happened until he started rubbing his arm and I saw the mark from the sting. It only got a little puffy, so at least we know he's not allergic. In the picture, his Aunt Molly is putting a baking soda paste on it.

We enjoyed our weekend together so much! Our little Ben is getting so big, and can do so many things now! I'm so sorry about his bee sting, and his teething troubles. I hope he is feeling much better now. Can't wait till we can be together again!
Love,

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 ...
