Bennett's Birthday

Bennett had his 1st birthday on Monday. 

 It was a nice day out so we got to go on a walk and play at the park.

We also got to eat some cake.  Daddy had to work that night, so it was just mom and her boys.

Bennett wearing my sunglasses.

Playing outside in the backyard.

Me being silly.

Bennett checking out his cake.

It was an angel food cake and he had never had it before.

Tastes good....   I think?

Yep, it does.  So I'll put it all in my mouth.

Graders enjoying the cake too!!!

Tailrace Fishing Tourney

Daddy was in a fishing tourney the day of Cops N Kids,

so after a day of fishing for me I got to go see if daddy caught any.

It was raining on the way to the weigh-in and for a little bit after we got there.

Thanks Auntie Kathryn for the umbrella.

Mommy and Bennett hanging out in the excursion while it was raining out.

They were chickens.

They got second in the tourney.  Yeah, Daddy!!!!!

Uncle Brock gave me a ride in Bennett's car,

but it was a little to little for me.

Cops N Kids and some Randoms of Bennett

Mommy took me to Cops N Kids fishing last weekend.  I had a lot of fun with mommy even though I didn't catch any fish.  I really enjoyed the shocker boat.  They would shock the fish so we could see them.  I really didn't like the fish, just wanted to get on the boat. 

A boy that was sitting beside me caught a fish and wouldn't take a picture with it,

 so I got to take one with the fish.

Me sitting in the excursion, COLD!!!!!

Bennett playing out at the lake.

He really enjoys being outside.

Bennett drinkning his bottle on the floor beside mom in the kitchen.

As you can see, he doesn't get to far from her often,

so she had to improvise to get things done.

We love Spring!!!

We have had so much fun outside already and spring has just begun. 

Here are some pics from the last few weeks.

Bennett playing with toy.

Me showing mom some moves of hockey.

Bennett loves helping mommy with the dishes.

Playing outside at Nana and Papa B's

Nana came and got me and I got to have a special night at their house

with no other grandbabies or brother.  I was fun.

We were having lots of fun.  Bennett couldn't drive himself, but mommy helped him.

I was crying after some bug flew up by me.

Nana and Papa got to babysit their neighbors new little puppy, Maddie.

Bennett loved her and followed her around the house. 

I decided to climb in Maddie's kennel and pretend I was a dog.

Mommy says this isn't a very good picture of the three of us,

but she LOVES Bennetts face.  Always so excited when the camera comes out.

Playing in the backyard.

Two cool boys!!!

Mommy needed my help so I got to feed Bennett,

 he didn't last very long on my lap.

BIG Blog Slacker

So mom has been a big slacker at this blog lately.  So here is some pictures from

the month of March and Easter.

I must not have been around Bennett or otherwise he wouln't have been

playing with my stick.  I don't like him playing with my hockey stick.

Helping mom bake something.

Playing hockey outside.  Mom loves that the snow is gone and I can shoot my

pucks outside instead of in the house.

Fun at the AmericInn!!!

Last weekend we got to go swimming at the motel in Beulah.  Nana and Papa Holen won a nights stay at a suite there.  Uncle Brock and Auntie Kathryn got to stay the night, but we got to go swimming.

We filled up the big bathtub in the room before we went down to the big pool. 

It was lots of fun.

Swimmming in the big pool.

Having fun with daddy and Uncle Brock

Jumping in the pool.  I did that hundreds of times.

Bennett loving the pool.

Bennett had his 9 month appt the other day.

He was 27 lbs and 30.5 in long.

97th percentile for both.

Not sure on head circumference, but I do remember it was off the charts!!!

He is crawling EVERYWHERE, getting into EVERYTHING, walking along the furniture

and crawling up the stairs already.  He's getting to big too fast.  Can't believe he is closer

to one than my little baby I brought home from the hospital.
