Shopping

Okay, so the first picture is Ben trying on batting helmets. The second picture? Notice the mannequin's hand to the left of Ben. This is documentation of the first time Ben was officially embarrassed by his parents.

Turned out the only place we could find the proper size of the shirt we needed for him was on said mannequin. So we decided to remove the arm so that we could take it off. This made Ben absolutely crazy, since he assumed it was illegal and that we'd get arrested. We didn't. And after snapping a few photos, we put the arm back on good as new.

Big Brother

Here are a few pics of Ben being a great big brother. Having Phoebe on the school playground for the first time, he really watched out for her. Also, observe Ben's awesome sweatband on his left wrist. They don't call him "Cool Ben" for nothing.

Disneyland

Here are a few cute pics of the kids from Ben's birthday day at Disney. He got to ride in the front of the monorail, which he thought was pretty cool.

Happy Birthday!

One of Benjamin's favorite gifts for his birthday..! He doesn't get cereal like this very often. (Good thing he's too short to reach the top cabinet -- and he can't read yet).

Up'Chuck E. Cheese's

So Ben had been begging to go to Chuck E. Cheese's, so we took him right before his birthday. I told him that when I was paying for the pizza, the people recognized me and knew that it was his birthday... And they gave me the "birthday crown" to give to him. It made his day. Seriously.

Rockin' the Kiddie Coaster

Here's Ben and his mom on the kiddie coaster at Adventure City. He was terrified at first, but once he realized he wasn't falling out, he raised his hands in the air... And waived 'em like he just didn't care.

Phoebe on the carousel Part 1.

Here are a few pictures of Phoebe on her favorite ride -- the carousel. This one was at Adventure City... If you've ever seen the movie "Adventureland", it's a lot like that. Only sadder.

Ben Looking Cute

Just a few cute pictures of Benjamin taken with the Hipstamatic App. If I'm going to take crappy cell phone pictures, I may as well have some fun with them.
