My little elephant!!!

Today great grandma & I took Ben to school for his class Halloween Celebration. Grandma & I really enjoyed watching Benjamin interacting with all of his "little friends" and of course with his best friend & cousin Jacob (who lucky for Ben is only couple of rooms away!) We had a busy, but very fun Halloween week of parties & celebrations!!!

TRICK-O-TREAT!!!

Let's get some candy...

That one please...

On to the next house...

Havin' fun with daddy!!!

Cutest elephant in the zoo!!!

Mommy & her zoo babies!!!

Warmin' up with great greandma...

We all had a great time tonight trick-or-treating...much to the boy's delight, great grandma joined us for the festivities! It was so cute watching my little elephant walking around our neighborhood like a "big boy" with his own pumpkin bagto hold all of his candy. My little lion on the other hand, spent most of the night on daddy's shoulders. Although Benjamin now thinks all he has to do all year long is walk up to any of our neighbors houses and say "trick-or-treat" when he gets a sugar craving (ha!)...it was lots of fun for the whole family!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Hangin' With Uncle Scott...

We had a great time tonight hangin' out with Uncle Scott...the boys love it when they get the chance to spend time with him! He stopped by after work and had dinner with us. Benjamin & Brady are so lucky to have such great guys as their uncles, it is so cute to listen to Ben talk about Uncle Scott & Uncled Jeff all the time! Lucky for them they get to grow-up right down the street from both of them too, as they get older they will realize just how important family is to them. Thanks for taking the time to come over & visit with us Scott...we love you!!!

Brady always havin' a great time!!!

Ben & Jake 2-peas in a pod...

Today we went to see Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live in Columbus with; the Jones family, the Dice family, & the Horras family. We all had a great time together! The boys were completely mesmorized by Mickey and all of his crew...it was adorable to watch all of their faces throughout the entire show. Seeing Benjamin stand on his chair & yell at Mickey made it worth every penny we paid for the tickets! Thanks Aunt Nik for once again planning a great afternoon for all of us...you are the best & we love you!!!

Ben The Football Star!!!

Benjamin & Brady were both in heaven all weekend long...Great Grandma Aiken stayed both nights with us (Nobody knows how to spoil kids better than her!) Between both boys Grandma ALWAYS had someone in her arms, even during the night since Ben always insists on her sleeping in his bed with him! Here is a quick video of Benjamin's Football Practice today (the good news is that you don't have to be BIG to be a kicker...ha!):

The Pumkin Patch...

Today Benjamin, Brady, & I went to The Pumpkin Patch with Great Grandma Aiken, Grandma Aiken, Jake, & Luke. Although all 4-boys have been a bit under the weather we still all had a wonderful time together! Jake & Ben had fun plaing on all of the tunnels, cars, & playsets at Windmill Farms; while Brady & Luke "helped" me pick out our pumpkins & mums for our front porch! What a fun way to spend a beautiful Thursday afternoon...

Brotherly Love!!!

Well it's official...my boys are the exact same size now (they both weigh 25 lbs.)! I'm affraid Benjamin only has a few more weeks with the upper hand as the BIGGER brother, because once Brady can walk he is going to be in trouble (ha!)...

Benjamin's Got The Moves...

WOW!!! Not only does Ben have more energy than anyone I have ever seen, but he definitley has some interesting dance moves too. Here is a tiny clip of the "concert" that Ben has been putting-on for Brady & I over the past hour. He is too funny...I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!!!

Our Happy Little Brady Boy...

As usual Brady is smiling, laughing, & clapping his hands, while he is waiting for his mommy to feed him his dinner. Brian & I are without a doubt two of the luckiest parents to be so blessed with such a happy little guy...

Ben & Jake...ROCKSTARS!!!

Jacob came over to our house today to play...he and Ben had a ball as usual! I think this little video clip says it all: I guess we need to find an agent (ha)!

Autumn Adventures Class: Jake & Ben

TWO-PEAS IN A POD...

Today was a special day with only mommy's and the BIG boys! Nikki & I left the babies at home and took Jacob & Benjamin to The Kettering Rec Center's, Autumn Adventures class. We had so much fun just the 4-of us!!! We made pumpkin headbands for Halloween, we painted trees with leaves and accorns, & best of all we made a scarey black spider out of a real apple! Along with all of the fun crafts, we sang "autumn" songs, read "autumn" themed books, and even played pin the face on the jack-o-lantern. Thank you Aunt Nikki for signing us up...we had a great time!!!
