Ben's First Foods

Ben LOVES food, anyone can tell that this kid is a tank. Anything he gets his hands on, goes in his mouth. He loves just about anything. From lint off the floor to ice-cream that I know his Granny Egbert and Grandma Christiansen sneak him. His first real food that I have given him were smashed green vegetables. At first he did not know what to think about it. After the 4th of 5th spoonful he was really liking it. What a good eater.

Grand Boys Photo Shoot

5 grand boys keep Granny and Pa pretty busy. This was quite an interesting shoot trying to get 5 boys under the age of 5 to all smile and look in the same spot and stay in the spot where we put them.

Car Racing

These are the best racing cars ever! You can go so fast and it is so much fun. Of course Nate won and then I think Chels came in second, but they don't really count because they do this activity on a weekly basis....probably...It was really fun to dress up in the racing outfits and put the big neck brace on and the helmets. You even get a fancy drivers license.

Salt Lake City Bike Tour

This weekend we headed to Salt Lake to participate in the Salt Lake City Bike Tour. It started up by the U of U hospital and meandered its way through Sugarhouse area, Holladay area, past Granite High School as well as Liberty Park and finished at the Gateway for a total of 26 miles. It was a blast! Ben slept the whole way and loved it. We will defiantly be doing it again next year.

Here we are at the finish line.

Little Benny Bo Bo with his medal

Aunt Cindy and us at the finish line. Cindy was a trooper. We were about 3 miles or so away from the finish line and Cindy gets a flat tire on her road bike. Kyle got it pumped up and she was good to go. Then about 100 or so yards later she got another flat. She had to wait for the helper guys to come and help her, but she finished strong. It was fun biking with her.

Bens First Kayaking Adventure

Kyle has been waiting and dreaming of this day for a very long time. It was a beautiful morning to take Ben out. So we loading up and went. At first Ben liked it, but then he started crying. It was his nap time and I forgot the pacifier in the truck. Oopps. Kyle was heading back to the truck to get it, but Ben fell asleep and we got to paddle around a little bit more. We love kayaking and it is so fun to take our little guy.

Here is my big mean dad BOB and us. Ben is asleep between Kyles legs.
