Enjoying outside!

Playing around some statues on one of our walks. One of the statues had a serious face. Tanner said, "I don't like that statue, he looks scary." It doesn't stop him from wanting to see them though.
Tanner after getting back from his friend Ben's Star War's birthday party. Ben's mom made Jedi robes and belts for all the kids. They all looked to cute in them. After the party was over there were so many little Jedi's running around on the play ground. I wish I would have had my camera. Tanner had such a blast at the party and proving he could become a Jedi! Thanks G family!

We love our swing!
A couple months ago a firetruck and ambulance came into our complex for a call they received from a woman who lives right across the street from us. Me and the boys watched the trucks out the window because boys love big trucks. Soon we saw a few parents bringing their kids closer to look at the trucks when a firefighter said they could come over and look around. So I decided I'd take the Tanner out too! It wouldn't have been so awkward if the paramedics weren't bringing the woman out on a gurney. Luckily she was OK and there wasn't any big problems. They asked if Tanner wanted to get in the firetruck and of course he did. I asked if I could go grab another kid and a camera and they laughed and said yes! (Note: there was already kids getting into the truck and parents taking picture's of their kids before a went outside.... so don't think I'm crazy and insensitive to the lady they were taking away! lol) Something definitely to remember! And for the following weeks more firetrucks came into our complex and they invited more kids to come and look... so then I didn't feel quite so bad!


Still in their pjs!

The boys love the sandbox and so does all the other kids who like around here. There is usually about five kids crammed in it when it's made for about two! They all have fun though. I'm glad the people before us left it here!

Benson's first bike ride... and he loved it!

OK, since you think you need a long post from me, here's one, now that I have both hands free. Benson is the cutest baby ever. I love his chubby cheeks and big blue eyes. I hope he and Brycen can grow up close by and be good buddies.
The Star Wars cloak is awesome.
And the firetruck story is funny.

Camille said...

That Firetruck story is SOOOOO FUNNY! ;) I can't believe you went out to look around. Not a big deal except for the fact that they were at a real emergency! Quite un-professional if I do say so myself! LOL Looking and talking to them is ONE thing, putting kids inside while attending to a sick women- is another. LAMOS!
