Rams Game

Megan and I were able to go to a Saint Louis Rams game last Friday thanks to a generous class member! It was a preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, who won 20-13. It was awesome and we were happy to get the chance to go...had pretty decent seats too!

Here's the Proof!

Ben keeps growing and growing! This week his new trick is saying da da... Brent wanted to document it for "PROOF" that it was his first word. So, here's the proof!

Mascara Princess

Leila has had this obsession lately with mascara. Why? We're not quite sure, but she says it helps her look like a princess. Little smarty pants :) Megan hardly ever uses it so we were surprised she even knows where it goes!



Oh, and I forgot, she's had the same obsession with 'lip-loss':



Fun, fun!

All about BEN!!

Six months old!! That's right Ben is SIX months! I can't believe how fast time flies! He has been such a fun addition to our family!
Here are just a FEW of our favorite moments of his first SIX months!

Let's start at the beginning... Feb. 12, 2009...

Blessing day with Daddy and Leila...

Jumping before he could even sit up by himself...


learning how to sit up...

Toes, TOES, TOES... need I say more! First Bath sitting up

Leila ALWAYS playing with him and making him laugh:

Scooting... ALL OVER!


First time trying new foods:
ICE CREAMWAFFLESHe will smile for almost ANYONE!
And ALWAYS full of smiles for the camera:What a HANDSOME BIG BOY!!

Sunday IS a day of REST... and other sleepy times!

Most Sundays, after church, we come home have a quick lunch and take a nap. This past Sunday Brent told me he would put Leila down for a nap while I put Ben down. I thought that was a nice idea... HOWEVER, about 10 minutes after he had taken Leila in her room I heard something that didn't sound like sleeping, I walk in to find this...



Brent sleeping on the toddler bed while the toddler is playing on the floor with toys! It made me laugh pretty hard! I asked Leila if she put daddy to bed, and she said he was tired. I told her that it was time for her to go to sleep too--she asked if she could sleep with daddy. So, she climbed up into bed and a few minutes later I found them both zonked!


I'm glad Sunday is a day of REST! Ü

I guess we have been pretty tired here the last few weeks, because we can't seem to keep Ben or Leila awake during lunch.

This was just ONE of the days Leila fell asleep while eating her Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich (which she requests to eat EVERY day for lunch!)


And Ben just falls asleep when he is tired! Yes, he really is asleep with his nose smashed up against his tray!
It doesn't seem to matter what position he is in!
