Ben Goes To Work

Ben was very excited to spend

a special day with dad at his work.

Ben was all about trying something new.

He even insisted driving in

dads car with no a/c.

I guess he wanted the FULL EFFECT

of what it was like to be Daddy.

He learned all about the courtroom

and how it works.

Then out to lunch at the mall.

He even insisted on sitting on the patio.

(a place we never sit)

Feeding the birds.

Make your own Lego person

at the Lego store.

A special ice cream treat!

To cap the day off,

they stopped at the movies too.

Neighbors Pool

Daddy joined us for a swim at

our friends house!

We are so blessed with dear friends,

that share their pool with us.

Summer Memories!

Loving Moments With The Boys

Playing games on dad's phone while laying on his back.

Shaving with dad.

He hates posing for pictures!

Can you tell?

Hugs with dad.

Emma's Special Day With Dad

Daddy decided that each kid should spend a 

day with him at work.

Some quality time with him and a glimpse

at his life from home seemed like

a fun summer activity.

Emma started her day with a breakfast of donuts

and then a co-worker gave Emma

the largest gumballs ever!

She spent 2 weeks slowly taking bites

of her gumballs.

Yum.

Then a special lunch with dad.

And a little shopping.

And of course,

a movie, too!!

Dan Gets A Build-A-Bear

 Grandma and Grandpa keep with their tradition

of taking their grand-kids to Build-a-Bear

for their first teddy bear.

Dan was excited to have his own bear

just like all the other kids.

He picked out a black bear.

He was very skeptical of the 

loud stuffing machine and

wouldn't get anywhere near it.

He would rather play with the noise

machine.

After teaching Dan about giving

the bear his first bath,

he finally gave in and came over to help.

Dan picked out a superman costume

for his bear.

And named him...

SUPER BEAR!

Thanks Grandma!

Thanks Grandpa.

Everyone's bears.

(Sydney, Emma Ben, Keira and Dan's)

We love our bears!
