    Sesame Street Live

    A few weeks ago we went to see Sesame Street Live. Ben got tickets for his birthday from my parents and if you read this post you know it’s not our first time to see the gang. The best part about this show? Not having to travel 3+ hours to see it. The show was great, the music was cute, and Ben left with a huge smile. Anxiously awaiting the start of the show. Don’t mind that Ben and J are in almost identical shirts. Ben is seriously his twin.

    Happy 3rd Birthday, Ben!

    Today my baby is 3. I am tearing up just writing that. Time goes by so so fast. Everybody says it, but it’s so true.  Each year that passes my baby is able to do more and more. He is becoming fiercely independent. He says mom and dad instead of mommy and daddy. I’m happy and sad all at the same time. Sad that my baby is growing up, but happy at the boy he is becoming.

    Yo Gaba Gaba Live

After the museum we headed over to the arena for the show and despite playing his little heart out earlier, Ben was ready to see his favorite characters.  His face was like this the whole time and his eyes were glued to the stage. The adult’s favorite part was definitely Biz Markie. Fun Fact: Did you know DJ Lance is originally from…

    Panic at Panera

    “Thanks mom for getting me this cookie while we wait for my  soup.” “Oh, there’s my favorite soup, but wait….a woman’s walking towards it.” “I think she took my soup, she took my soup!” I love this kid.

    Another Birthday Celebration: 2 Year Old Style

    J wasn’t the only one lately who celebrated a birthday. My cute little niece turned the big 0-2 and we celebrated with a pool party and then BBQ and bounce house at my parent’s.   At one point in the night everything was really quiet. Too quiet. When I went upstairs to check on the kids this is what I found. 10 years ago he would have never believed me if I said this would be his life.  Happy Birthday Elizabeth!
