Hey everybody, Ben here. I’m taking over my mom’s blog today because I wanted to tell you all something. That’s right. I went poop in the potty. My mom and dad were pretty excited. They clapped and screamed so loud that it almost scared me. Well, that’s all. Just wanted to let you know that I’m a big boy now.

Where Did The Money Go?

Everything is “no.” I asked you the other day if you wanted to go get ice cream and go to the park and you said “no.” Daddy asks you if you want to take your shoes off and you…

The Next Tom Petty
Growing up J and his dad played the drums and the guitar together. His mom’s basement is filled with old guitars and amps that haven’t been used in years and in J’s home office he has a beautiful guitar that I have yet to see him play in the past 4 years. That was until the other night when Ben decided he wanted to rock out. J decided to get his tuner and amp out and after MUCH convincing played me a little tune. He gave Ben a guitar pick and it was so cute to see Ben try to play like his daddy. By the time I ran upstairs…
