Everett turns 2!! I will post more details about my little man now at 2, but for now here's some pictures of him opening some presents at home, and then at Benson's blowing out his candle and eating his cupcake (that was about the extent of his birthday celebration there, so I didn't take anymore pictures). My camera died at the family party for my side, so I'll have to get those pictures and video from another family member and then add them later. ...He loved his little tool set he got from mom, dad, and Noah so much that he slept with his drill, HaHa! ;)
The boys built a "fort" and wanted me to take a picture of it. My photography skills aren't very good, so it might be hard to see what this is, but I promise it's not just a big mess, HaHa ..it's their creativity at work. I didn't take the time to crop these pictures, so ignore the extras in the background. ;)
Noah got to go on a FUN field trip to Cold Stone Creamery and see how ice cream was made. We all got to partake in the Cold Stone goodness as well! ;)
For the week of the letter "S" at school, Noah got to decorate a superhero cape! SO Much Fun!! Here is my little Superhero! His cape has an "S" on the back of it, for Superhero!
The boys LOVE their little cousin, Hailey. I got to watch her a few times recently, and here is some of the fun we had with her. Whenever she is here, the boys want to help do everything (and I mean everything!) for her! They are so concerned about her and love to make her happy, I love it! One of the days I had her and put her down for a nap, she started crying a little (who wants to leave all the fun?!) Everett was so mad at me that he refused to leave the room while she was crying, he was so concerned about her. He started to cry himself, and I think he even yelled at me, because he thought it was so mean that I was leaving her in there. She stopped crying pretty much as soon as we left the room, but it was so sweet that he was so concerned about her.
Easter festivities at Grandma and Grandpa Benson's house. Egg hunt and dying Easter eggs.
Oops! Forgot to turn a picture, HaHa. ...And I included some "lovely" pictures of Stephen and I for your amusement! ;)
Oh, yes! How can I forget also, Stephen made a sweet egg that said "K+S 4 Ever" ..he's such a sweetie! ;)
Stephen got a NEW JOB!!! YAY!! He is now working for Rimrock as a Superintendent and loving it! We really feel like it is a HUGE blessing! For any of you that don't know, the last few years have been extremely hard with his work situation, and for the past two years we have gone many months without a paycheck, so we decided that what was best for our family would be to explore other options. It was incredibly hard for him to leave the cabinet shop and leave Rick, but we felt this is what we needed to do for our family. He got hired on with Rimrock and started working for them in the beginning of April, and he is slowly phasing out of Chateau (the cabinet shop). It is an awesome opportunity for him, and they already love him and are fighting over him (who gets to have him on their project, HaHa).
..He has to wear a hard hat on site for work and one night the boys put their play ones on, so I snapped this super cute (minus the icky snot..sorry!!)picture of them together.
And last but not least (for now), we got some new sand for the sandbox, and the boys are in heaven!! They have been LOVING it! This is the first of our plans for a fun backyard for summer. ;)
I know there are probably many more details I am missing, these just came to mind because I had pictures. I'm sure I will have more catching up entries in the near future, and then maybe I can stay caught up! ;)
In other non-picture news, I am 29 weeks pregnant this week and everything is still going fine, other than the normal pregnancy complaints. ;) (But really, I love being pregnant so I don't want to complain.)
We are all getting super excited that baby boy will be here in a few short months! Names are being kept confidential this time (gotta surprise you all with something since we found out the sex, HaHa), but we do have a couple in mind. Starting to get the house ready with what little energy I have (I miss that short time full of energy you get in the middle already!), and preparing any other ways we need to for him to make his appearance.
The boys are both doing great and getting anxious for the warm weather to come and stay for awhile! Mom is anxious for that, too! I will do a more detailed update on them both SOON!
Stephen is doing well and loving his new job!
That's about all I can think of to sum up for now! ..If any of you have even made it this far, HaHa. ;)
