Pictures

Here are the pictures from my trip back home.  Thanks for sending the pictures Mom!


Kimber came into the living room sporting my Mom's special socks.  You can see one of the peppermint candy tassles.  She was in pretty good spirits considering she had gotten her shots that morning.  I have been having a hard time keeping clothes on this girl lately.  She thinks it is pretty funny too.  She has gotten a sassy streak in her lately.  Shades of things to come!


We are in the midst of growing Kimbers bangs out.  She is growing up so much!


Brooke's "Bir-day" party.  We both got presents... rubber gloves that say 'Queen of Clean' on them.


Special birthday hug.  Benson really was so excited about this and worked on it all day long!


Blowing out the candles.  Naomi looks scared here but she thought it was pretty exciting!


Cousins.  Like I said in the last post Naomi is a month older than Benson (did I just do that? I meant McKay) but they are already very close in size!  Since they got weighed together McKay was weighed again.  April 5 he weighed 17 lbs and 7.5 oz.


Naomi and McKay with Nana.


Nana with half of her Grandkids.  About a week later two more of the grandkids came for a visit so we only missed out on seeing 2 of the cousins while we were home!


Kimber all ready for church.  The week before Naomi's dress was more of a shirt so we leant this dress to her.   Got to love clothes that cover a lot of ages!!


About a month ago Bens and I were watching Oprah and Gayle's big Camping Adventure.  It was their first time camping... ever and the they tried S'mores for the first time.  Since then Benson had been asking to go camping and to have s'mores.  While we were a Nana's we planned to do a fire in the fire pit but with all the snow we had to settle for s'mores from the microwave.  I think the kids enjoyed them!


Kimber didn't actually eat to much of it but she enjoyed getting messy!


Here we all are enjoying the yummy s'mores.

Since coming home we have been working on a new schedule for ourselves.  It is a work in progress but we are getting better at it.  Benson has started having quiet time in our hallway upstairs.  That has been sanity for me.

McKay update... we started rice cereal this past week.  I decided on our way home he really was ready to eat solids.  I was eating a cheese burger while feeding McKay and he stopped eating and refused to eat anymore and stared at my burger.  Hmmm, he is growing up too fast.  Yesterday he turned 5 months old.

We are in the midst of planning Benson's birthday party.  I am in denial that my baby is turning 4 in just over a week.  Where did all that time go?  We decided yesterday that we are going to do a Pirate cake.  Benson is super excited to help me make it.  We'll see how that goes!
