Fun in the Sun

It was a hot weekend here in Fort Wayne! We took a took a trip out to Home Depot on Saturday to pick out some plants and seeds for our garden. This time we did not plant quite as many things as last year and we are trying some new vegetables. Last year we ended up with an abundance of tomatoes and since I am the only person who likes them in our house, we just got two tomato plants this time (one cherry and one regular). The rabbits really liked our beans last year, so we'll see if we can keep them away. Curt did all of the planting (with a little messy help from Ben). It was a really hot job out there in the sun, so I'm glad he was up for the challenge! :) I kept an eye on Lucy and got some other things done while he was out there.

Today we got out Ben's pool. It is a blow-up one, so I was surprised that it survived a whole year in the garage without getting a hole. Ben loved playing in it with his color-changer cars! It is a bit of a process to set up, so I'm not sure how many weekdays he will get to use it. I might just have to turn the sprinkler on for him on hot days! :)

Ben loves ice cream cones...the perfect treat on a hot day!
 He had to stretch out and relax before coming in to get ready to head to the driving range with Curt.
Before dinner, Ben wanted Lucy to come out and try the pool. I just put her feet in today, but she really seemed to enjoy it.

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 ...
