Our Little Snow Angel

So, we already had our second snow of the season last night.  Ben couldn’t wait to get out there and play in it.  There wasn’t much, but he was asking all morning if he could wear his shmow gloves (he still has trouble pronouncing some words and letter sounds) and throw meatballs at me.

Here is Mr. Benjamin making snow angels, dancing, stomping and having a great time in the little bit of snow that came down last night.  This boy brings me so much joy!  I’m so happy to have captured this moment, because earlier in the day, I thought I might lose my mind.  He is currently fixated on the age of EVERYTHING.  He asked me the age of every person in our family, my hair, the crackers I was packing in Jack’s lunch, the chair he was sitting in, the fork he was eating his breakfast with, etc.  I could go on, but you get the idea.  It makes me laugh, but also want to pull my hair out at the same time.  Love you, buddy!

Apple Hill

On Nevada Day, we made the trek to Apple Hill for the day.  My brother (Jimmy), his wife (Jennifer), their son (Cooper), my mom, and Jen’s parents all met us there to partake in the fun. 

The weather couldn’t have been better.  The boys had a blast playing on a kiddie playground.  We had to practically drag them away.  Then, Ben did a pony ride while Jack & Cooper caught fish.  While we were there, we enjoyed some fudge, yummy apples dipped in warm caramel and apple donuts.  I wish we could have spent more time there and seen a bit more of what Apple Hill has to offer.  We got a bit of a late start and were slowed by traffic on our way there.

Jack was Captain Rex (a Clone Trooper) and Ben was a cute little pumpkin.  Thanks to Mindy & Jeremy for letting Ben borrow the adorable pumpkin costume!
