More words, less pictures.

So it's March and good thing to, the Wet weather is beyond annoying. Now we have wind and rain already hitting us early this month, at lest it's not snowing!Yet. That being said I cannot wait for the sun and see a blue sky( lasting more than 10min's).


Here in the west we had to be on a tsunami watch because of the Japan 8.9 earthquake luckily it had been only 4 ft higher than normal thankfully not many people went out to see the larger waves and became victims themselves. Unfortunately I can't say the same for Japan, so sad and all you can do is watch on the t.v. what is happening. For the people who don't know, there is a military base set in Japan and lots of family and friends are waiting for loved ones to reach them. I think this is so hard to even wrap our heads around, so I guess we pray for finding survivors and hope they work together in rebuilding their country, brick by brick.


On a much lighter note, Charlies new hero is Alex Trebek, he pretends to talk to contestants and claps for himself and then he mixes in Wheel of Fortune and says a letter and pretends the couch cushion's are the letter screens. Very funny, no pics he's camera shy when he does this.


Logan has been more vocal, not verbal though he has been trying more and more lately. He is still very much into Thomas and is starting to put letters together and finding out that they make words, my little sponges. Also Logan has been more interested in looks at the books he picks out and taking more time to go through them before bedtime, Yeah.

Pictures aren't so easy as they look!!

This is the best picture out of over 50 taken by my patient friend(Kristin) who help take some family photos for me. Bless her heart, we had Logan doing pretty well and Charlie wanted nothing to do with it.

So all in all, I think we did pretty well for two 3yr olds and no one ended up in a white jacket. I hope this helps any one who has kiddos that a picture is more than a moment in time, it's proof that you survived the day! Good luck and God speed!!

This is how we Roll!

Logan and Charlie decided it was time for a morning ride, granted it was 8am they enjoyed them selves for a couple hours, yes I said hours!

Charlie is helping by towing his brother from the wall. Logan is grateful and gives Charlie reason to be a helper a few times during his ride. They are getting too big for these toys.

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!! yeah thats on purpose

So the boys decided to Drum in the holidays Matthew McConaghey style, except clothed and only high on sugar! We had a LONG year, hence the word long in Caps. The boys are going to Pre-school twice a week and are doing better at me leaving and them staying. Still potty training but I will not be defeated, at this pace I don't have a choice, but I do have a helper at their school that is helping in the area and others for Logan and Charlies speech and developmental needs at school which is a Huge help!!

Charlies speech has increased but so have the tantrums, normal for a three yr old. He is also growing like a weed so I'm sure the testing and fits are the growing pains.

Logan's speech is coming along but learned that he will need additional help with learning techniques that are more common with children with Autism, so baby steps and different way of learning for me.

See they can sit and be civil, well at least for a few moments.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Get a Happy New Year!!!

Wow time Flies, when your doing....stuff?

We take advantage of the sunny days here(you see sunlight you PLAY), because soon it will be cloudy, rainy, snowy and windy!

Charlie is on the Left- Hey Logan do you know you have an Elmo on your head?

Pumkin farms, we had gone to three this year and had fun at all of them, the days were just warm enough to really enjoy the outdoors. The boys also took their first Pre-K fieldtrip, plus the first School Bus ride, they did So Great!!

Wedding bells are ringing!

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY BEN! You can't go back now!

The father and daughter dance, so sweet. My sister Sharon and Dad did very well for only 3 legs on that floor. What a wonderful world was playing for their dance.

Got to have a picture with the beautiful bride. We had a long day getting things done, so we played hard after the ceremony was over, PARTY ON!

Blake and Stormy did a great job and looked very sharp!

Just one of the boys

Susan and Grand baby Kellen, what a happy kiddo!

Payton was making roller skates out of the school buses, careful buddy.

Adam and Blake was having a ton of fun riding the toy ATVs , with the hitches, trailers and flatbeds, right Adam.

This is how us Washingtonians get a little extra sunlight!

Time goes by

Playing, playing, and more playing! We have been growing, eating, and more growing! Charlie and Logan are practicing their letters, numbers and colors. They have done very well in their In tot classes and their signs have been frequent with things that they want or notice, which is nice to know what they pay attention to.
