Preparing for the Kentucky Derby

Entering the starting gates....

...mounting....

And he's off!!! Place your Derby bets here!


In other news.....Ben has also learned to use his toy tool bag....don't sit still too long or he will check you for loose screws....

I apologize that my iphone takes TERRIBLE pictures....especially with a moving target!

End of March...

First Professional Hair Cut

Ben had his first professional haircut just after getting 4 shots at his 15 month pediatrician check-up. Fortunately, he ended the day on a high note with dinner at Red Robin where he was very excited about meeting "Red".

What you've been missing......

Remember this guy?

What? Like you've never ridden a
horse in your underwear? ;)

This is his 'Christmas Story' look
w/ 20 layers. This was after our
previous decent snow in January.

Happy Birthday to Jenn!

..

Karla & Hayes (and apparently baby number 2
was already in the oven in this picture)

A couple of good looking guys. ;)

Insanely adorable!

Belated Christmas party....in JANUARY! Big fun!!

OMG! When did the climbing start?
And most importantly, when will
it end?

I love this picture! See even the cartoon character
is concerned about all this climbing!

Ben's emotional range is astounding.

More climbing....

And now we come to the current, UNRELENTING snow.
