Not three but four!

Happy Birthday to the B-Boy!

He had a yellow day, most of you he has a slight obsession with that color!

He got a cup-cake-cake, some really cool digging toys/trucks for the back yard.

He got a few dollar store items from his mom, including a whoopie cushion that makes him laugh so hard.

He also got a hair cut, he said he wanted to keep his yellow hair, I asked him if he wanted a dragon haircut and that what he got:) for a little while anyway.

Happy Mom's Day

I love Mother's day for a number of reasons-

-it is close to my Birthday

-it is getting warm

-I usually buy my own present

-Ben gives me a card and tells me how he feels

I have to admit I also love milking the day away with 'go ask your dad'.

Mothers day is a great day to be extra grateful for being a mom.

I love hearing the little voices say "momma" or 'mommy'.

Just a quick things about being a mom!

I was showing Cooper a girls camp song that has actions to it. The action was called the funky chicken. Cooper looks at me puzzled and said 'mom you shouldn't do that anymore, please don't do that again.

Giving Bauer a Mohawk, because I am his mom and I can:)

Helping my little Kessler get better, medicine 3 times a day, nightly baths, lots of nose wipes, hand washing, and still letting him drink his bottle even though I said I was going to take it away when he was 2.

I love being a Mom!

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Bauer!

Our little man turns 4.

To be honest I have always loved the age three for all of our kids.

They are so funny, so happy, get excited easily.

Bauer has many names he goes by here are a few

B-boy

B-nut

B

Bumble bee (when in costume)

Baby b

His favorite color is still yellow and he thinks his hair is the color yellow.

He lays by mommy everyday after lunch until he falls asleep.

When he gets excited about something he does this little jig type dance.

He has a weird interest in San Diego.

He keeps asking Ben when they can go camping.

happy birthday B-boy!!

day 7-Clearwater Beach -4.30

day 6-My Birthday!!

The first day at Auquatica I did not mention that when Kessler got back to the Hotel after eating dinner he threw up everything he at, I couldn't narrow it down only to maybe heat exhaustion. So we found a Target and bought him a little speedo 50spf hat. No problems that night.

the mamma, cooper and some sun freckles.

Kessler fell in love with the slide, he would go up there by himself and slide down go right back up there and go down again.

Cooper decided to take some photos.

"Firepowa"

A pretty slow day, nice for us.

Bauer did not like the slides very much I think this is the only time he went
down one.

Busch Gardens- Day 5

Alivia and I went on this ride, I decided I don't like taking my child on a ride where I think she might fall out.....even though she said it was fine.

Alivia thought this ride above was 'boring'.

Tired Kess

Busch Gardens had a lot of rides for kids UNDER 48" only. Very cool!

We unfortunatly got a late start to Busch Gardens and Ben was fired up about that. Since we were staying at a time share, we didn't have to listen to their entire spill but they tried to talk us into buying a used one.....no we didn't buy one. We did buy another vacation for 2012. That seems to work out well for us. Not dumping all of the money out at once, but paying for it over time so it is paid for when you go.

Anyway we were only there for about 6 hours, they had some CRAZY rides that I totally would have rode on as a "single" rider but the lines were too long. There were about 3-4 middle schools there for some Physics day.

There is a definte difference between Busch gardens vs. DinseyWorld or even SeaWorld. It was not as clean and it seemed a little bit more "ghetto".

It was fun though so I will give it a 7 on my so popular ratings scale.

Everywhere we had been until then was pretty slow
