Tricycle: with motor

Ben has outgrown his scooter bikes so he just got his first Tricycle, I say first because he's already close to being too tall for this one.

But we were surprised to find that it came with it's own motor.















A highly motivated motor that didn't want to stop.

Look what we bought!

And Ben finally decided it was okay to wear his nice suit on Sundays. Here are my handsome boys, all ready for their weekly wagon ride to Church.

New Post

Hey look everybody, we've posted a new post.

It doesn't say anything at all.  No new pictures, no insightful commentary; Nothing.

But you still came to read it because it was new.  Thank you.  It's been a quiet couple weeks.  Melinda was thinking about posting some of the humerous things heard last weekend at snowbird, but she hasn't yet, and while up there we kept forgetting to take pictures.  So instead you get nothing.

Easter boys

Here are the boys on Easter morning! We went shopping for Easter clothes for boys, and found a million darling dresses for girls, but only some icky outfits for boys. Susan found these darling little suits at the PX on Hill AFB, of all places! (Thanks, Susan!) Simon was adorable.







Ben doesn't like wearing clothes this month, so here is the wrestling match on Easter morning to even get him into his shirt and pants. He wouldn't wear the cute vest and tie. Oh well. He's adorable anyway!

Big Day for Big Boy

Today is a Special day!

Simon is One Year Old Today!
YAY!!! for Simon!

Today Simon got to play with balloons, open presents and play with new toys (when he could get them away from Big brother that is).

Biiiiig Balloons and lots of them.

Simon's new toys a baby's laptop and a flip toy. Ben usually has control of the laptop.



And then came CAKE!

Cake with candle

He really wanted that fire!

Cake is served to the neat and clean boy
Simon Smiles at the Camera before tasting the cake. In fact he didn't want to taste or even touch the cake, so daddy scooped a little frosting onto his pinky and placed it on Simon's tongue.

Oh, The Horror of frosting.


After a minute or so of tears he calmed down and actually noticed the taste of the stuff on his tongue.
Visual examinationTouch it and feel it.
Now to taste it!

Oooey, Goooey

The final mess

Even big brother couldn't resist the urge to get messy with the cake.

Oh and of note, Simon is taller now on his first birthday than Ben was at 13 months. Big happy birthday boy!

Good Bye old Friend

The Dakota is gone.

 

In anticipation of my new truck which we should get in early June if not a little earlier we had decided to donate the old truck to Kidney Kars.  We would have waited but a couple months before I came home the ECM (the trucks main computer module) died and the repair shops all wanted $900 or more to replace it.

So on Saturday we called them, and they referred us to their website.  Monday I logged into the website and and filled out the forms.  And Yesterday, April 1, a tow truck came and picked it up.

Now we just have to make the single car game work until the new truck is delivered.  

He's Walking!!!

Nuff said!!!
