What does an elephant say?

brush, brush, brush

We brush Benjamin's teeth (gums) every night and he actually likes it. We say night, night and then before we go into his room we stop in the bathroom and he opens his mouth immediately to brush his teeth. He finally has all his front teeth, yes at thirteen months, so we moved up to the next level tooth brush. Here he is doing it all by himself...

Cocoa was trying to escape so she didn't have to get her teeth brushed also!

 

 

Longhorn

After 11 years of serving at Longhorn it is finally time to hang up the apron! My job made an offer that I can't refuse and will no longer need to work there...it is such a blessing! David and I are so grateful for this opportunity especially me as now I will no longer miss any moments in our sons life.

I worked at Longhorn through undergrad school, graduate school, two big girl jobs that I didn't like so quit and went back to Longhorn full time, my wedding, birth of my son, and many more milestones in my life. David has only known me working at Longhorn! I literally can't believe that tomorrow night is my last night there. I am eager to close this chapter of my life and open the next one.

I had a special visitor on Tuesday which was my last serving shift...I think he was flirting with me :)

please excuse how gross I look! 

Grammy and Grandpa (Abbie and Ali's parents) also visited, as they normally leave some candy they left some hand lotion instead and Benjamin loved it.

Thanks everyone for the understanding and support while I worked two jobs. Good things do come to those who wait..or work their little butt off ;)

True Green

David and I use TruGreen to fertilize our yard and they will do an aeration in the fall. We first had reservations about it but after we totaled the cost of all the fertilizer we buy thought that we would give it a try for a year. They told us that our yard would not look it's best until next year after the aeration. Well, I am already impressed with it so far and it feels AMAZING. You can be the judge of it (the adorable little baby helps also!)

Radio Flyer

Mimi and Grandpa got Benjamin this sweet radio flyer with a canopy. We took our first ride last night and Benjamin was unsure of it the whole time. He is so darn cute (please excuse his pj's)

 

I know that we are going to get great use out of this and we just wish that Cocoa would sit in ;)

4 STEPS

Benjamin took four steps all on his own on Monday. The first two were good solid steps and the second two were him falling. Few steps and were in the right direction to walking.

Fritz's

We took Benjamin to get ice cream last night and since Spanky's closed Daddy took us to Fritz's. When we lived over there we went all the time and sure do miss it. They gave us a complimentary ice cream cone for Benjamin. It might have been free, but it sure was messy and Benjamin loved it.

 

 

And this is after all the sugar...he was SO hyper, but so funny!
