Ben twirled Seth and Jared around on a booster seat for awhile.


My adorable, sweet nephews. :-)

We were going to do a silly face together, and I know I did one, too but apparently the picture was taken when I broke out laughing.





Kaylee making herself at home with a cardboard paper towel holder. (Say that three times fast!)

Isaac is too cute in this pic.

Kaylee was so good with all the kids.






I love this pic of Megan with her boys. :-)

Wearing my new purple sweater I got for Christmas. I LoVe it!

On my brithday, I stayed in my warm flannel pajamas that Ben got me for Christmas.


In case you're wondering, Curious George and I go a long way. lol Ben did it for my first birthday when we were married b/c I loved the cartoon that had just come out. Plus, I told him how much I loved going to the Benson library after school, sitting on the floor, and pulling out the Curious George books one at a time to read. I have great memories at that library. :-)


Ben took two waffles and frosted them with a mixture I made with sugar free chocolate syrup and cornstarch. I heated it a little in the microwave, too. Turned out really well!!! He was determined to put candles on it, and I loved it b/c I blew them all out in one blow! LOL





That's it! Ben left on the 8th. There's a rumor going that he will be back on the 28th. Don't know if that's true or not b/c he's supposed to come back on Feb. 12th. We'll see...... I"ve been extremely tired so Ihaven't been doin much of anything. Well, I did clean/reorganize my kitchen! I even cleaned the fridge since it's so empty I can see how dirty it is. lol I want to paint/write and all that good stuff. Here's hoping! Well, I'm praying, too! ;-)
If you guys know anybody who wants a banner let me know! Be my advertisers. ;-)

YAY PICTURES! Okay, I love the ones of you with the boys, I need those. We are so glad you got to come, and the boys adore their Uncle Ben cause he is a big kid :o) Looks like you had a fun Christmas and birthday with your hubby too. I looked for a purple sweater to put in your box but rue21 was all out! I'm happy you got one!!! Keep us posted on your painting/writing and how Ben is doing. Love from Florida!
