So Long May!

I can't believe that tomorrow will already be June 1st! I think that I'm really feeling the shortness of summer this year since Ben starts school on Aug. 14th. Ugh! Why do they have to start so early? Oh well, we will have as much fun before that as we can. June is already looking like it's going to be a great month, with a vacation at a house right on Lake Michigan and my brother Matt's wedding. I hope it warms up a little bit, so we're not wearing our sweatshirts on the beach all week. Below are a few pictures of what we've been up to the last couple weeks in May.

The garden is planted and growing.
Another fun morning was spent at the zoo. Lucy really liked getting out of her stroller to see the goats.
I got to see one of Ben's t-ball games. Curt helps out as an assistant coach. In this picture, he and Ben are out in the field. It was hard to get a close picture from my phone.
Ben's turn to bat! 
 We spent Memorial weekend with our friends, the Bairds. The boys went out for ice cream and brought me and Rachel back a treat. (It was Lucy's bedtime).
Jackson, Ben, and Luke played miniature golf with Derek and Curt.

 Lucy and Evie had fun playing together. They were jabbering away to each other in this picture.
 Lucy likes to try on any shoes that are left out. She found mine one afternoon. She also has crazy hair since she pulls out her ponytails all day long. Makes me CRAZY!
She loves to sit and look at books. 
 Cheese!
Ben's friend Evan came over yesterday to spend the day playing with Ben. They had such a good time and Ben was not happy when it was time to bring him home in the afternoon.

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 ...
