More Fun Pictures

These are just a few pictures from the past
couple of days.

Bennett has decided that he is a
big boy now. He no longer will
tolerate eating baby food. This was
his first lasagna dinner and even
though it was quite a mess, he
enjoyed it very much!


We took Bennett to the pool again
this weekend with his Grandpa and
Grandma van Leeuwen. He didn't
enjoy it as much as we hoped he
would, but he didn't cry at all, so I
guess that's all we can ask for.


We bought a bicycle trailer this weekend! We
were so excited to try it out and I can't tell
from the look on Bennett's face if he is excited
or scared:)


Dale being the nice guy that he is pulled the
trailer behind his bike. We actually ended
up biking to Kindermusik and it was a really
good time.


Like I said, we couldn't tell if Bennett was enjoying
himself or not... however this was the result both ways...
he fell asleep! p.s. don't worry, Dale had unbuckled
him part way before I ran and got the camera.

March Madness

This is a picture of our little escape artist being
caught in the act! Petey figured out that in one
spot the drifts were on both sides of the fence
and he took advantage of this opportunity to
escape. He came back a little while later... must
have gotten hungry:) Thankfully all of this snow
is virtually gone. We had a bout of really nice weather
and are all looking forward to spring!


Bennett still sucks his fingers, but he isn't hiding
it as much as he used to:)


His toothy grin is so cute, he just loves his bath!


Bennett and his uncle Evan are good buds now. They
have the same interests--- TRACTORS!!!


Here I thought I would try and take a cute family
picture, however Bennett thought it would be
more fun to try and eat the camera.

March Blizzard

So, we had a blizzard yesterday! All the
businesses were pretty much closed by noon.
Today (Friday) nothing is open. As you can
see from these pictures, the snow drifts are
quite unbelievable. I have maybe seen this
once before since living in Iowa. Fun!


This is our backyard fence that is 6 ft. tall.


Dale trying to at least get one of the vehicles
out of the garage. I don't think our snow
blower will be able to do much to my side of the
garage. I think we will be borrowing a skid loader.


This drift between our house and the neighbors
is hilarious.


Janelle demonstrating the height of these drifts.
We thought it would be fun to go outside and
"play" in the snow. However, the wind is so
incredibly cold and strong, we could hardly hold
the camera to take these pictures.


This is our back yard again from last night.


Hope you are all safe and warm!
