a perfect moment adventure



The sunlight was perfect
The water was perfect
The moment between father & son was perfect.
Thank you God for these perfect moments!



i love how this picture looks so calm & peaceful. yet just mere seconds later ben tries to get into the nasty water and then changes his mind and takes off running into a flock of geese. the true joys & adventures of having a little boy.

an adventurous birthday in bed

we just celebrated matt's 26th birthday. his family has a tradition of the family piling in the birthday person's bed & opening gifts. so we all were in the bed that morning snuggling, but once i went to get the camera for a photo op, ben went bonkers! we cherish our morning snuggle times with our boys. i know they'll outgrow it one day, but for now it's my favorite part of the day.

happy birthday daddy! bright & early on a sunday morning!!


our little peanut...who is getting to be not-so-little. what a chunk he's becoming!

adventures with picture phones

what did we do before cell phones had cameras?! we missed out on so many sweet moments of life that just couldn't be captured. now we can share those moments with any & everyone. it's great. i can send evidence of the boys' cuteness all the way to california for grammie & grandaddy to see. :)

so this is our tribute to phone pictures (all from matt's phone). ya know sometimes they are the best!


some growing gabe pictures...

ben's need of haircut...
swinging on the porch swing & enjoying the outside!

look what you can do with really sweet long hair!
and the result of a great haircut...after a nap :) we went to a barber shop & the man was not afraid to let ben yell. he literally palmed ben's head and held him in the chair. it was quite a show. and ben earned the lollipop at the end-yeah he yelled but he didn't get out of the chair!

and ben's family 2nd birthday celebration caught via iphone. we had strawberries & angel food cake for dessert and ben devoured several helpings!

he's eyeing the cake already. wait for it....
loved blowing out the candle & he did it all by himself!

proud of himself for blowing out the candle & loving all the attention
and this is the part where he devours his cake :)
can't go wrong with strawberries & angel food cake

naps with daddy are the best!
easter afternoon nap

an Easter-y egg hunting adventure

ben had a great time at the easter egg hunt at church today. they started with a puppet show and then the egg hunting began! for his age group they had the eggs numbered 1-10 each with a different prize inside. he loved it.

fully intrigued by the puppet show


collecting eggs
the grass was wet so ben wore his rain boots. 
he loves his boots!
checking out his loot with daddy.
proud of his hard work
he loves the eggs themselves. the prizes are just a bonus.

matt & ben with our friends amanda & cameron
and gabe had fun too...just hanging out...

love this little outfit!
sprawling out & looking around
happy easter!

happy Easter!

we had a great & busy easter weekend. so here are some quick pics. it's definitely more difficult to get a good family shot these days.
