Alyeska Trip with Granpa

Outside the Alyeska resort with Granpa Doug


Posing with Mama




Happy Boy!

The last day my dad was here I decided to take him to Girdwood to see our ski resort and have lunch. The drive out to Girdwood is along the Turnagain Arm and is really pretty. We visited the ski resort and hung out a little while on the comfy couches by the fire while I fed Ben. Then we went to Chair 5 and had lunch. Tasty burgers with really yummy fries! On the way out of Girdwood we stopped at a bakery and got huge chocolate chip cookies - yum!
It was fun having my dad out here and it was great having his help with the house too. It will be even more fun when my parents come out in July because we'll get to do more vacationy, touristy things!

Found my feet!

Yay! New toys... feet!


But I think my hands are still my favorite...


Am I cute or what???

Ben finally got a grasp on his feet yesterday. I've been wondering when he would...I guess his little thighs are just so chubby it is hard work getting his legs up that far! He loves "This Little Piggy" and squirms the entire time I do it because his feet are so ticklish!

Trying out the highchair

Since it won't be too long before Ben starts solids I thought I'd get out the highchair so he would be comfortable in it. He loves to sit in it and play. We put him in it while we are eating so he can see us...he loves it!

Hanging with Papa

Just hanging around!


What happened to my ankles???

Ben and his Granpa

I think my dad has had a lot of fun hanging out with Ben. Who wouldn't considering how funny Ben is right now! LOL! :)

Sheetrock is almost done!

Our kitchen/living room/dining room


Brent, my dad and Brent's grandpa hanging sheetrock


My dad

My dad has been up here since March 27th helping to hang sheetrock and plaster. It has been great having him here! Ben has loved hanging out with his grandpa too! Hopefully next time he comes with my mom in July we will actually be living in the house!

Ben is 5 Months Old!

Benjamin is 5 months old today! Wow how time is just flying by...
He is such a fun little guy and it is so exciting to watch his personality develop. He is pretty laid back except when he is hungry! He loves riding in the car and going for walks. Most recently he loves his jumparoo. He has really started kicking his legs a lot. Last night he was doing it in his co-sleeper and it woke up Brent! He loves to chew anything and everything. I'm excited to be starting solids. Not until 6 months though...
My dad is here visiting for about 2 weeks. He is helping Brent with the house. They are in the process of sheetrocking the kitchen/garage area. It's definitely looking more and more like a house!!!

Happy Easter!

Looking so cute in his shirt and vest!

Sleeping on the Job

Ben has figured out how to jump in his jumparoo and he loves it! I put him in it yesterday and I was chopping some veggies. He was going to town just jumping away. All of a sudden it was really quiet...he was asleep! All jumped out!
