Catching Up

I haven't done the best job updating this summer, so here are a few phone pics of what we've been up to the last couple weeks.

 We stopped in at Dunkin' Donuts on the 4th for a mid morning snack. It ended up also counting as lunch because none of us were hungry again until dinner. :)
 Miss Lucy in her red, white, and blue. 
 Ben and I have been playing A LOT of Guess Who. I printed some of the free game boards and we love all of the new choices. On some of the hot days we played 5-10 games in a row. He is getting really good at thinking of questions to narrow the choices down.
 Last weekend, Curt took Ben to the driving range. Ben lost his interest in golf that day and took a million pictures on my phone (I sent it along in case he got bored).
 There were several pictures of Luigi looking at the clouds (Ben's description) and about 15 of Curt's clubs.
 Monday we went to the zoo for a couple hours.
 Ben is always interested in the serval after watching a Wild Kratt's episode that talked about them.
 Feeding a giraffe.
 He's been wanting his picture here, but it is usually crowded.
 Lucy was a little bored with being in the stroller. I put her in the carrier for the last little bit and she loved it!
 The last few days we have been up in Grand Rapids. We left the kiddos with my parents and had a night away. We stayed in GR and just had fun shopping, going to a movie, and spending time together. My mom had my nieces Mya and Emma come stay over too. Ben was SO excited to play with them the whole time. Lucy did really well with hardly any crying.
 My brother Joe came over and helped Ben swim in the pool.
 Trying it on his own with a noodle.
 My parents took the kids over to see my grandparents. It was their first time meeting Lucy.
 While the kids stayed busy, we enjoyed seeing The Amazing Spider-Man. We really enjoyed the movie and our time alone. That doesn't happen too often for us. It was a great way to celebrate our 9th anniversary on Thursday.
On Friday night we got to squeeze in a quick visit with our friends Rachel and Derek. Rachel just had this little sweetie, Evangeline Brinn, two weeks ago. I was so excited to finally meet her!

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 ...
