August 22, 2009: Daddy, mommy and Ben went on a family vacation day to Kemah, while Nana & Papa watched Graeson. We arrived at Kemah around 10:30 a.m. We started out the day by walking around and riding rides. We rode the ferris wheel, planes, balloon ride, carousel, train, swings, the needle, drove boats and monster trucks. After that we ate Mexican food at the Cadillac Cafe. While we were there they had a balloon artist that worked there that went around making shapes out of balloons for tips. He made Ben a green motorcycle. He loved it of course! We went to the aquarium and petted the sting rays. Then, we tried to stay cool by riding the monster boat, going to the arcade, shopping, and having dessert at the Marble Slab Creamery. The ice cream was soooooo good that Ben had to have two spoons to eat it!!! Afterwards, we took Ben to the water area and let him play in the water. By then it was time to call it a day and go home. It was a great vacation and we will definitely have to do it again!!!!!

John Deere Four Wheeler Time
May 31, 2009: Benjamin loves driving his John Deere four wheeler. He really has it all down pat now. He can even put it in reverse to back up so he doesn't have to get off and push it anymore!

Graeson's First Bath
May 21, 2009: We all gave baby Graeson his first bath at home. Benjamin was my wonderful assistant!!! He was very careful around Graeson's "bobo on his belly button" and helped wash him. He can't miss any bath that Graeson gets. If Ben gets in his bed before Graeson gets a bath, he will yell "do you need me yet" about every five minutes until it's Graeson's bath time...it is hilarious!!!
