Fun In The Sun
The weather was so perfect today that we decided to pack up and head to the beach. Ben and daddy caught sand crabs while mommy caught a 10 minute nap and then we ate snacks, played in the sand and chased waves. It was a great day as a family- just what we needed!

Lions, Tigers, and Bears Oh My
Today we spent the day at the LA Zoo. Bryan had gone as a kid but Ben and I had never been so we packed up and headed out. We kept it as a secret from Ben but when he woke up this morning we told him we were going to the zoo and he started shouting "happy, happy, happy". Needless to say he was very excited. It was so awesome to see his face light up as he saw all the animals and watched them eat or play. He was really enthralled with everything he saw today and had a great time.
It is hard to explain and something that I never really understood until I had a child of my own but there is just something so special and magical about watching your child experience something for the first time. The wonder and awe that is shown on their face just makes me so happy. Words can not express how I feel about Ben. He is my greatest gift, my joy, my answer to prayer and he melts my heart everyday! Thank you Lord for giving me such a great little family and for filling my arms with a little boy that is just perfect for me- YOU TRULY ARE A GREAT GOD!!!!
Seeing all the animals eating must have made Ben hungry because he snacked almost the whole time we were there
Hippo: Man, I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel like this too
Ben and Daddy checking out the sea lions
Probably Ben's favorite animals: the otters. They were playing with balls and swimming and he just thought that was so funny. Along the with the seals, I think these were his favorite animal
Ben really liked to watch the goats climbing the rocks
When Ben saw these black bears he kept yelling "roar"
I love this look of wonder
Ben pretending to sleep like the zebras we had just seen. . .
... Until Uncle Kevin jumped over him and then he thought was really funny!!!
Two Little Monkeys :)
Climbing like a monkey
Ben and Uncle Kevin
There was a beautiful rose garden at the zoo
Ben thought the flamingoes were "stinky stinky"
Ben really wanted to share his cheese sticks with the rhino
Reggie the alligator
I love these boys!
Within minutes of getting in the car, he was asleep with his new monkey he picked out at the zoo. Too cute!

A Ladies Man
Tonight we had a fundraiser at my school. There was great food and we had lots of fun. Ben was quite the greeter. He walked around waving and smiling at everybody and saying hello. I love how he just stops and talks to random people and brightens their days with his little personality. He had a great time with all the people but little did I know, that my son would have the most fun with the ladies :)
He found a group of girls sitting down and he just went on over and sat in their laps and smiled at them all. He then went on to hug them and give his "cheese" smile as they all whipped out their phones to take his picture. It was like the paparazzi- LOL!
Not only did he enjoy sitting with the girls but he also had a great time helping the girls team auction off desserts. He walked around with the girls helping to show the desserts being auctioned and blew kisses to all those watching. I was laughing so hard- it was hilarious!!!
It was great night and our school raised lots of money which is always awesome!
Loves being the center of attention

What A Pain
The other day Ben had his first encounter with a cactus and let's just say that it did not end so well. After following the advice of many friends- I think all the cactus stickies are out but if you happen run into Ben, he will be sure to tell you all about it :)
Races with Daddy
This weekend Bryan took Ben out to Fillmore to watch the kids race thier dirt bikes. Ben wasn't sure about it at first because the bikes stratled him but once he figure them out, he loved watching them race.

The Weekend In a Nutshell
This has been a very busy and crazy weekend. We are still trying to catch up on missed family time since Bryan has been away for work so much lately. We had a great time this weekend!
Ben found this wheelbarrow in the store and just had to push it around while I shopped. Oh well, he was having fun and not hurting anybody, and he was pretty cute.
Mommy got a new hair style and cut
Ben got new shoes
We went to dinner as a family to TGIF. Ben was really excited about the dessert
