Brian and Ben's Birthday Party

This mom is all about efficiency. We had a combined Birthday for Brian's 6th and Ben's 3rd birthdays. It was at our Swim Club. They both had LOTS of friends. We had pizza, a pinata, cake and of course did a lot of swimming. It had rained earlier in the day so we were a little worried but the weather cleared up and we had a great time. Ben keeps talking about Birthday parties now. And says "when is my birthday party." I tell him we already had it and he gets this sad face and says "no we didn't."

Brianna

These are Brianna's cute friends from Hershey Christian. Haley and Christina. The Tandberg's came to support her, which was really sweet. She worked really hard through the week and did a great job!! She even got to walk down the red carpet and got a little oscar award!!

Before church

I came downstairs to get the kids fed before going to church and this is what I found!!! Apparently someone spilled crystal light all over the counter and the boys thought it would be soooo fun to lick it? Lovely!! Notice how close the tie is to getting in it.

The cutest boy EVER!

Oh this little Benjamin, he is so darn cute. He has been really testing my patience lately but I just loved this picture of him. God knows what he is doing when he makes them this cute! I think the 2 almost 3 year old age is one of the hardest. He is all personality and very funny but he is trying to declare his independence CONSTANTLY! If we let him he would rule this house. I have to constantly remind myself that I am the boss. That has never been hard for me (to be the boss :) except now.

Oops here are the pictures of Philly.

The Liberty Bell...finally!

We have lived on the East coast for four years and have wanted to see the Liberty Bell. We finally made it. We had a busy day because we drove down to Lancaster and I ran in my 10k and the kids did a little fun run, we then headed for Philly. We spent the day checking out cool historically significant stuff and then went to the more fun place...King of Prussia mall (jk haha)! It was fun. Brian is so cute at historical places because he loves history and is a really good teacher to the kids. The mall was more fun than I thought because we split up and Brian had 2 kids most of the time and I had one. We were so exhausted on the way home!
