Another deviation from the Beatles... But I am in love with this song.

Dada & Ben watching the tractor pull

Alabama Arkansas I do Love my Ma and Pa But not as much as I do Love you

Holy Moly Me oh My your the apple of my eye Girl aint never loved one like you

Man o Man your my best friend I scream it to the nothingness that we got everything we need

Hot and Heavy pumpkin pie Chocolate candy Jesus Christ

Ain't nothin please me more than you

Smiley boy!

Ah home, Let me come Home Home is Whenever Im with you Ah home, yes I am Home Home is wherever I'm with you

Lalalala Take me Home

Mama Im Coming Home

I follow you into the park, thru the jungle thru the dark Girl aint never loved one like you

Moats and boats and Waterfalls, Alleyways and payphone calls I been everywhere with you

Laugh until we think we'll die, barefoot on a summer night never could be sweeter than with you

Not so happy.  And yes, with his 1st black eye.

like its only you and me jade your somethin to see

Home, Let me come Home

Home is Whenever I'm with you

Home, yes I am Home

Home is wherever Im with you

Lalalala take me home

Mama Im Comin Home

As you know, my home is where my heart is.  And my heart is and always will be with my boys.  The apples of my eye.  

Ben has been a busy, busy boy these past 2 months.  He has conquered crawling, climbing, food and is trying, hold your breath, to walk.  I think Tim and I need to get started on baby proofing the house, huh?  I will again say we are the luckiest parents in the world (wow, still so weird to say parents!)..  Ben is such an easy baby (well, almost toddler).. For any and everyone - if you stay reasonably close to his normal schedule.. And keep food in/near him.  He is a complete chow hound!  He is quickly learning about "table" - aka people food and not baby food is a wonderful experience.  And he is huge.  I took a picture of him on my cell phone last month and a friend made the comment that he looks like a 6 year old.  I don't think he looks that old, but close, unfortunately, no more baby!

I'm ready for Shark Week, how about you?

Looking for his "friends" aka - Gus & Prada

Speaking of no more baby.  Ben had his first hair cut this month!  It was only slightly tragic due to bad timing on mom's part and taking him for blood work right before said hair cut.  He was a trooper though and once he had his grubby fat little hands on my lens cap (of course I had to document the occasion), he was once again, a happy camper.  And no, Tim is not trying to choke him in the picture, he's just trying to hold Ben's shoulder's still.  I promise.  

Not a fan of the cape.

Ok, my arms are out.  This is better.

All done & so handsome!!

Tim and I are good.  I have been busy at both jobs.  Good on both ends.  Saving many lives which is an awesome feeling.  Knowing that I have a small part in giving someone the opportunity to live another day is something I cannot explain.  It's just as cool as coming home and finding the happiest kid in the world!  Massage is getting busy and I still LOVE it!

My 8th Month-day Picture.  Like my teeth?

I had a trip to San Fran earlier this week for a conference.  The city was absolutely beautiful and the weather was fantastic.  My colleagues and I got into town before the conference began and were able to visit Napa.  A magnificent jaunt if I do say so myself.  I highly suggest a visit to any who can make it out there.

Beautiful grapes in Napa.

Had to put just one of me in here for a change

Tim got a great review at work this year and we are very proud of him.  He is the best dad and husband - he has my heart.  He finished putting up the new fence at the house last month (yes, in 90+ degree weather).  Now the dogs can roam the back yard and won't terrorize the mailman anymore!

Zonked out at the tractor show.  Guess the auction was a bit too much for him.

This weather has been crazy and we have spent more time inside this summer than ever before.  Ben has made two boat rides and fell asleep, shocker, he is like mom in that manner. Even during the storm esque waves on the second ride.  He's a trooper.  

Passed out again.  I love his feet!

And finally a big congrats to Rachel & Casey - the new Mr. & Mrs. Fisher.  Such a beautiful wedding (even with the bug bites).  We couldn't be happier for you both!!

Such a beautiful couple!

I promise to get back on track next month.  Really, I do.

Holy Toledo, Ben will be TEN months in less than 30 days.  Ok, now I am going to go cry.

Lots of love & craziness -

L & T

My melt you baby blues!
