Meet the “Ben and Syd Crew!”

Hey everybody... just thought I would take today to share each of the crew with you! Hope you enjoy!

Bug, Bug…… Let’s just say she is not going to be the forgotten third in our family. She is at such a fun stage… learning to really communicate through words and body language! She is BUSY –BUSY – BUSY! Her latest… (Thanks to her father and my Son….. More his dad’s than mine) is that when she burps she puts on the face in the picture above and gleefully replies “I Burp!” Than she giggles…. Dad busts a gut… Jake is falling off his chair with laughter, so she Burps again. “I Burp!” And it all starts over again….. Yes y’all our daughters’ first sentence is “I Burp”. I have to say it is really funny and I am not kidding when I say that she can burp pretty much on demand. (Thanks Dad and Jake) J I mean what would you do with out this talent. Anyways… she’s a fun loving kiddo and we are having a blast….. Her other favorite past time is playing (strangling the kittens) or as she calls them “Meow, meows”.




Micker Macs… she is the most loving child. She crawls into bed every Saturday morning and whispers “I Love You” to Ben and me. It is always accompanied by a huge hug. She is definitely our snuggler! She likes school though sometimes it is hard to keep her focused. She’s also our artist. I have new paintings, wall hanging, and drawings daily. In fact if I don’t get 3 to 4 different projects she’s constructed for me in one day I am shocked. Hand her a glue bottle, markers, scissors, and white paper and she is content all day long. No joke!!!!!!

Jakers….What can I say… HE’s ALL BOY! From the fact that he is always getting injured to trying to teach him at school, to his wacky sense of humor! (Takes after his dad) As you can see in the pic, you can’t even get a picture of him without him moving. In fact I love this kid dearly… but when teaching school it is all I can do not to duck tape him to the chair. He is either humming, singing, WIGGLING, standing on the chair or telling his sister how to do her work. He is incredibly intelligent and I know that his learning style includes movement, but be praying for me as I find a way he can move that is not disruptive to Kenzie and is respectful to me, yet allows the movement he needs. He can sing while I read and understand everything I have read. He is six and already reading chapter books and comprehending them. But in our family if you need a laugh…. Go to Jake! He keeps us laughing!

Myself…. Let’s just say I am tired of being prego, and am wondering what the doc will chew me out for today at my appointment! One of the first appointments I get scolded for not gaining enough weight, next time, I have gained to many pounds for her taste and get the lecture on how I will be a huge lardo if I don’t watch what I eat… to the last appointment I had where I had lost a pound and she wants to make sure I am eating. Can I just say that my eating habits have been the same through the whole prego and I have only gained 19 lbs. total!!!!!!! Come one! So I wonder which way the wind will blow today!

Benny Boy… well Pray for him as his job is just a job and frustration is setting in. He has applied to another university here in Minnesota but hasn’t heard back which is extremely discouraging. He is so qualified for this position! Please be praying that we will hear soon whether it is for an interview or not. He needs a new job! Yet we are thankful for the one that he does have. Love you Hubby!!!!!

Anyways… just us… the crew. Enjoy the pics!
