Sundae on a Thursday

David had this tradition when he was younger that whenever he would visit his Aunt Barb they would have ice-cream sundaes and she would say "Sundae on a Tuesday(or whatever day they were visiting)" and I love it so much thought that we could start the tradition also and of course would wouldn't love sundaes on any day of the week.

We are having...

A GIRL!!!

Serendipity

I never knew they had a Serendipity Ice Cream in St. Louis and so excited that I found one. While David was out of town recently, Ali and I decided to take the kids to dinner and a treat (who cares that it was 10 degrees outside and had just snowed). Yummy!

Benjamin loves to cheers his ice cream cones, all the time

Benjamin had that blue ice cream everywhere but it was delicious 

Potty Trained

Benjamin is FINALLY potty trained. It has been weeks since he has had any accidents (knocking on wood). He is so proud of himself when he goes that he announces it every time. He still wears a diaper only at bedtime but asks to wear underwear to bed. He still wakes up 50% of the time wet so we tell him if he goes a week without a wet diaper he can wear underwear to bed. Out next challenge is going to be taking away his small potty...

Great Wolf Lodge

Over Valentine's weekend we decided to take a little family vacation and visit an indoor water park at Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City, KS. On our way there we stopped to stretch our feet and enjoyed the best burgers at Booches (really is amazing). At Great Wolf Lodge, the experience was a lot of fun and suggest it to anyone wanting to go, but it didn't agree with our wallets. A lot of things were overpriced but they make it so convenient to just get it there. Every night they have story time which we attended one night and really enjoyed it as we got to meet one of the characters.

He didn't want to leave this pool since it had a basketball hoop

One night we went to Fritz's Railroad Restaurant where they deliver your food by train, you even have to order it by phone from your table. It was a slow night so we only got to see the train go a couple times, but it was a cool experience. 

My Valentine

We started off Valentine's with a fun craft at Megan's house for the grandparents and great grandparents. Benjamin had so much fun that he still asks to go over to Henry's house.

Can't you see them in this same position in ten years playing video games

Love his little big feet! 

On Valentine's Day we got Benjamin a little bag of goodies and his expression in the next photo says it all on this present. He loves it, brings to everywhere with him. 

Little Fishy

Benjamin has moved up in swim class and is doing great. He impresses us more and more at every class. He has been in there for two months now and his rating are all three's (the highest score you can get) expect for two categories: listening to directions (no shock there) and swimming independently five feet. We will for sure be ready for the swimming pool this summer!
