Updates on Ben

So Ben turns 5 months and he's a totally different baby!! He's now eating cereal once a day, can drink out of a sippy cup, is able to sit unsupported, and has 2 teeth on the bottom! I can't believe how in just a matter of few days, so many exciting things have happened. Please someone, make him slow down!! Addisyn is loving feeding Ben and is constantly trying to give him a drink. She's such a good helper!

Wordless Wednesday

Beating the Heat

The past few weeks the weather has been near unbearable. Many days and evenings are spent at the pool trying to keep cool! Addisyn is doing a wonderful job keeping herself up with just her arm floaties and Ben just loves his boat!

Ben is 5 months old!!

Little man is growing quick!! So what's Ben been up to lately? He is working at sitting up unsupported and is loving playing with his toys. I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing a tooth or two pop through on his bottom gums sometime soon. He is drooling like crazy and chewing everything in site. Ben is such a happy little man - he smiles at everyone and laughs frequently. He is now wearing a size 2/3 diaper and 9 mos clothing. We're getting ready to start cereal possibly this week - so I'll be sure to video it!

Happy 5th Anniversary Brad!!!

5 years ago, on this beautiful day, Brad and I were married! It was a steamy 117 degrees - perfect weather for an outdoor wedding!!! Looking back on that day, I'm still more than happy with how everything turned out. We didn't do the traditional church ceremony with the reception afterwards, because that wasn't us. We had a perfect small group of family and friends to witness our beautiful ceremony on the grounds at Caesar's Palace, and a nice dinner following it. I wouldn't change a thing about that day, or about the last 5 years. Not every day has been easy, but that's life. Brad and I have learned and are continuing to learn from eachother and are just trying to enjoy eachothers company. I'm so lucky to have found such a wonderful guy to spend my life with!
Last year I posted some pics from the wedding, so this year I'll share some from our 1 year anniversary.

Little Momma

Addisyn is turning into such a wonderful little mommy to Ben. Monday, as I was cooking dinner, she sat on the floor and read him stories.


Then just this morning I left the room for not even a minute and this is what I found when I returned -

Addisyn was to be changing into her bathing suit, but instead she decided to undress Ben and change his diaper! I keep telling her that one day soon Ben isn't going to lay there and be her doll baby!!
Today we met up with Tricia and the girls at the sprinkler park. Haylee and Addisyn always have a good time together - regardless of the pushing, taking of toys, etc!! Ben and Kayla took a little dip to cool down - Ben seemed to enjoy it, but Kayla not so much!

Sesame Place

We took a trip to Sesame Place with the Williamson's yesterday. The kiddos had a wonderful time and I'm sure us adults did too!! With the crazy temps, we chose to stay in the waterpark to keep cool. Addisyn loved seeing the characters and enjoyed the lazy river the best!
