From weeks 37-40 I was dilated to…

    Scooby Doo Live

    A few weeks ago we took Ben to see Scooby Doo Live. The plot line was crazy confusing and I still couldn’t really tell you what happened, but Ben enjoyed seeing all the characters especially Scooby himself.

    Ben’s 4th Birthday

    On Ben’s actual birthday, I took off work early and we took him to lunch and a local play place.  After playing we headed to Orange Leaf and then home to open his presents from J and I. Still can’t believe our little man is 4 years old!
