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! We all go out in the mornings before it gets too hot and he has to ride around the perimeter, at least three times, to check things out.

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!!!
