The Artic Cat~

We were not sure what we were going to get Benjamin for his birthday but then we decided to go in with Grandma and Grandpa and get him a Power Wheels Artic Cat~

Getting buckled in ready to take it for a drivechecking out all the controlsLOVE LOVE LOVE this picture of his face the first time he hit the gas pedel =)Just cruising He looks so serious.....but he was REALLY having a ball. Both Chrsitian and Benjamin LOVE this jeep looking forward to the hours of entertainment this is going to provide. Wonder who the first girl is Benjamin will be taking for a drive?

The Big Bed!

Benjamin has been wanting to have a big boy bed for awhile. So we took the bunk beds apart and now he has his own twin bed (we will bunk them a little further down the road). Here are a few pictures of him in his big bed.

He was so excited!!

Checking it out to see how well its going to sleep He gathered up all of his blankets and was smiling from ear to ear about having a big boy bed. Sound asleepI could not get over how "small" he looked in this bed. My baby is not so much a baby anymore.

Wordless Wednesday....

Wow maybe I should have given him a little more to drink at dinner that night =)

Potty....

TRAINING TRAINED!! Yes that is right! No more diapers for the singleton house!! Benjamin has joined his big brother in the world of wearing underware and is VERY happy about it. It is so hard to believe that he is trained already. He was ready much sooner than I was. He has been asking to use the potty for awhile and I have pushed it off and not really encouraged it until...about 2 weeks ago he kept asking was DETERMINED to wear underware so I gave in negotiated and let him wear underware over his diaper. Creative I know. That was only good enough for a couple of days he kept telling me no diapers no diapers so on Saturday the 6th we decided to go ahead and give it is shoot we made it through the day with only 2 accidents!!! To say that I was excited is a understatment. Since then he has only had a few accidents and has been wearing underware since the 10th! He is such a big boy!! I am sad that I wont see his little chunky legs hanging out of a diapers anymore. I dont expect him not to have any accidents but I can say that potty training him has been a BREEZE!!

Here is a picture of him wearing underware (he was opening his V-day card from Grandma =)

Trip to the Dentist!

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Dentist for the boys to have their teeth cleaned. (we were originally suppose to go the morning that Benjamin fell and ended up getting staples.) The boys did AWESOME!

Benjamin the look he had when they called his nameBenjamin did not like letting her check his teeth but he finally warmed up after a little bit.Christian always sits in the big chair now and is not nervous AT ALLGetting ready to clean those teeth! He loves wearing their sunglassesBenjamin stood at the bottom of the chair just watching look at his face I think he was scared enough for both of themBenjamin decided he wanted to sit in the big chair to and wear the glasses and then he laid back and let them work on his teeth he LOVES to do what his big brother doesChristian got his 2nd set of x rays done here he is checking them out on the screen. I could not have asked for the boys to do any better than they did. They were troopers. Dr. Johnson said that their teeth looked wonderful and they had a low risk for cavities WOOHOO!!

The EXCITMENT

Christian got a Thomas Umbrella for Christmas. You can imagine how happy he was on Sunday morning when he woke up and saw that it was raining. He said I can use my umbrealla yes sweetie you can!

That smile on his face says it all

So thankful that the rainy Sunday morning made his day!

A New Do...

Benjamin got another haircut..this time we went with a bull bowl cut. I think that it turned out great. I just wish that he would stop growing for a minute!

This is the before picture look how long his hair was in the front so sweet still had a tiny bit of that baby look in him...

Snip Snip...he did really well I couldn't get a after picture of him right after she was done but this was in the next day or so... Hello where did my baby go?My two boys...could I be any more blessed..I think not!
