Boxer Briefs For The Benjamin!!!

FINALLY...Benjamin is officially a BIG BOY!!! Thanks to the encouragement of his teacher, Miss Hillary & the imaginary sports rule-book, Ben is now wearing underware everyday! For all of my fellow mom friends, we all know what a HUGE deal this potty training business can be...We are so proud of our little man. After many failed attemps & bribes, we finally found his one "sweet spot" to convince him to get rid of the diapers. We simply told him that if he wants to be an athlete & be on a "team" he could no longer wear diapers (according to the sports rule-book of course). The next day he asked me to go potty in the toilet, if we just would've known 3-months ago it was as easy as that...our lives would've been alot less stressful to say the least! So, for those of you that have kids that eat, sleep & breath sports like both of our boys do, I can save you some stress when potty training time comes around...simply tell them that in the sports rule-book, NO DIAPERS ALLOWED"!!! HAHA!!!

Today we celebrated Laine's 4th birthday at Bounce U...what fun we all had together!!! I truly believe that whomever invented these "jumping places" had Benjamin as their #1 customer in mind...there couldn't be a better place for our little Fire-Ball. It is amazing that Laine is already 4-years old & in a couple of weeks Ben is turning 3 already!!! It is so much fun watching all of our kids growing-up together...life is so precious. It is all of the small seemingly "insignificant" moments that build the most wonderful & unforgettable memories to last a lifetime!

Sleep-Over With Great Grandma!!!

We Love Our Great Grandma!!!

AWWW...

We had the BEST weekend with Great Grandma Aiken. Since unfortunately daddy has been out-of-town every weekend for work, the boys & I decided to invite Great Grandma to spend the night with us this weekend. I am pretty sure all 4-of us had a fantastic couple of days together; Great Grandma was surrounded by her grandchildren non-stop, Benjamin & Brady had someone to pay 100% attention to them without distraction for 48-hours strait, & mommy got to take a 2-hour nap...Life is great in the Seeley house!!! THANKS Great Grandma for staying with us...WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

WOW!!! What a fantastic way to spend our Sunday afternoon as a family...at the circus. the show lasted more than 2-hours and it was one of the best shows any of us have ever seen. There was so much excitement: from the performing elephants, the beautiful little white horses, the trained porcupine, the amazing tigers, to the gymnast performers, the freakishly flexible Asian men, the hilarious clowns, to the gorgeous dancers & the extremely brave trapeze artists. Benjamin has been obsessed with elephants ever since he dressed up as one for Halloween last year. So to put it into his words, "The elephants are just like me mommy! Although, I am pretty positive there is a slight difference between them, I am not going to ruin his fun because that is the beauty of being a kid...it's all in the imagination!!! THANK YOU Great Grandma Aiken, Grandma Aiken & Aunt Nikki for planning such a wonderful family day together...you are the BEST & we are so lucky to have such a great family to do all of these FUN outings together.
***p.s. we sure missed having you there with us daddy, we are SO EXCITED for you to FINALLY come home tomorrow!!! The 10-day countdown is almost over...we know how hard you have been working & how much you have been traveling for us and WE LOVE YOU for it! See you tomorrow!!! YAY!!!***

This week for our play-group we went to the "Sprinkler Park" in Centerville...obviously it is a bit early for the sprinkler system to be up & running for the kids, but we all still thoroughly enjoyed all of the other perks at the park. We enjoyed a picnic lunch under the shelter and then the boys had a blast on the HUGE playground together. What a fantastic way to spend the first spring-like day of the year. As usual the mommy's had just as much FUN as the kiddos...HAPPY SPRING!!!
