Ben's birthday is tomorrow and yet he has already had 2 parties. One was over at his grandparent's house and the other one was down at the lake. He has taken up a new hobby now that he is two - jetskiing. I took him out for the first time and he insisted on driving without me touching the handlebar. He even discovered the gas one time and floored it. Whenever I would reach forward to keep us going the right way he would lift my hand off the wheel and say his usual, "No, no dada." Like a typical little boy, Ben loves trucks. We tried to work that into his cake and you can see what we came up with. We also had a little campout last night. Last year I swore never to camp again until Ben has moved out of the house. We had a trial run at the whole camping thing and slept out last night in my parent's backyard. He actually slept really good, so maybe I can move up that return to camping date a little bit.
Ben, out of the blue: "I am absolutely sure Grandma is shrinking." (9/20/08)
Ben: (Not upset but in kind of a funny mood) "I'm so mad right now I could kill a pig!" (9/13/08)
Ben: "Our neighbors are going to Hannah Montana (meaning Montana)." (8/24/08)
Ben telling daddy about Lake Tahoe: "I even holded a crawdad. Did you know that Jake?" (8/24/08)
Daddy: "Ben, what was your favorite part of that (very entertaining and also mildly overpriced) carnival." Ben: "Getting a little drink out of that drinking fountain." (5/16/08)
Mommy: "Ben, how come you didn't eat your broccoli?" Ben: "I just forgot that it was real broccoli and thought that it was painted wood broccoli that you put on my plate." (5/3/08)
Ben: "Jets are so cool I almost don't even like them." (4/21/08)
Ben: "Wow Mom, your hair looks good...did you do it?" (4/21/08)
Ben: "Mom, I have a little something to tell you...I love you." (4/20/08)
