Another Anniversary

My mom and dad have been married for six years today! That's kind of a long time. They still love each other a lot, so they decided to go out to dinner tonight to celebrate. While they were gone, I found these pictures on the computer.

This is where my parents got married

Woot, woot!!

No wonder he has a bad back

Sneak Peak

My mom's friend, Heidi, is a photographer in WI. She came all the way to Fargo, last weekend, to take pictures of me and Ben (and some other people too). She posted a couple of them on her blog. See what you think........

Halloween Costumes

Last weekend, we decided to break out the Halloween costumes. This year, I'm going to be Big Bird, Ben is going to be Cookie Monster, my dad will be the Count, and my mom is going to be Oscar (she wanted to be Abby Cadabby, but they don't make that costume). The four of us (well, Ben and I anyway) love to dress up and play Sesame Street. It's pretty fun! The other day, my mom decided to make up a new game to play with the costumes. She hid all of them while I was sleeping. When I woke up, I didn't know where they were. I found them in a box, under the stairs. I kind of had to look for a long time. I don't really like that game.

Labor Day 2009

We had a really fun weekend. Mommy and daddy took us to a lake resort in East Gull Lake, MN. It was called Kavanaugh's (http://www.kavanaughs.com/) and they have a lot of good stuff for kids to do there. We played tennis, basketball, and went for a bike ride (it was really short, because Ben was fussy). My favorite thing was swimming. I swam in the outdoor pool (it was right outside of our cabin), the indoor pool, and the hot tub. I loved it! We also played on the beach. We built a sandcastle with a big, huge moat (I got to pour the water in) and I collected an entire bucket of shells. I can't wait to go back again.

Check-ups

Ben and I had our check-ups on Tuesday. We were a little bit late because of the move. I'm happy to say that we're both very healthy. Ben is 30 inches and 21.6 pounds. I am 38 inches and 33 pounds. Neither one of us had to get shots this time. Ben was supposed to, but his records haven't been sent yet. He'll have to go back sometime next week to get them. I'm sure glad that I don't need any for awhile.

Weekend at Grandma's

My family and I spent the weekend in Bismarck. We got there later than we had planned (Mommy and daddy were having a hard time getting our car seats into our new Tahoe. They finally gave up and put Ben and I right next to each other), so we didn't get to play much on Friday. On Saturday, we woke up and watered the flowers. Then, we went on the boat. We had so much fun eating and playing on the sandbar. On Sunday, we had to go home. I was sad to leave, but Grandma said that she'll be coming to our house soon.

Since I wear undies all of the time now, my mom and dad are going to get me a car. This was taken right when my dad told me that I'll be getting it. I was super excited.
