Kids Fun Run - 2013

Ben and Maddie ran their first race on Sunday! Here are their bibs... each received a medal and a goodie bag! They had a great time, and Ben talked about his medal all day long....

Pre-K Graduation!

Well, doesn't seem that long ago when B started Pre-School, and now here I am blogging about yesterday's "graduation" ceremony. We had a picnic at school to start off the day's celebrations, and then went to dinner at his favorite pizza place - Mom Mom and Pop were there to celebrate as well! Ben was so excited to get a Super Man action figure from Mom Mom and Pop as a graduation gift!!

Then it was off to the graduation ceremony which was short and sweet -- my favorite part was Ben's class dance which they had practiced all year. So cute! Aftewards, we stopped at DQ for some ice cream treats -- and lots of other families had the same idea.

Happy Easter!

We started off this busy weekend with an Easter Egg Hunt, then off to a birthday party at a really cool kids' obstacle course right here in Bel Air! Well, of sorts. It was a bounce, and indoor tree house all in the same place! After that, we were off to another Egg Hunt. By the time we got home last night it was close to 7:30. Kids were happy, parents were tired! Today we went to PA for some family time. Great weekend - and as usual, fast!

Happy Easter!

A letter from my friend Nicolas

Benjamin has received his first piece of official mail. It's a letter from Nicolas asking if he liked his birthday gift! What neat handwriting!

The big 5

...and Ben is 5!!! We celebrated again at his fave swimming spot for the winter. Aunt C made a really cool cake decorated with his favorite characters. As gifts, he got a lot of talking toys..... he's happy. The house is really really loud most of the time. :-)

2013: Got Blogs. Yes, Got Blogs.

I haven't been the best about blogging.... obviously. But if at first (or second... or third) you don't succeed, try again! :-) So we are trying again this year.

Happy Easter Ben!

Easter Bunny is finally cool 'cause he brought Ben some hot wheels and lots and lots of candy!
