I can't believe that we are half way into February already! It seems like time goes by faster everyday. The kids are getting big! Here is just a look, at what our kids have been up to lately...
Benamen (as Sarah calls him) is sitting up all by himself! He also loves to eat... graham crackers, Mum Mum's, cheerios... I guess that isn't too surprising, seeing that he is a BIG boy!
It has been pretty cold this winter. Not something we enjoy here at the Beach. It was pretty nice yesterday, so the girls got to play outside over at MamaCheri's.
Erynn's friend brought over this new and improved "big wheel" It's pretty much the coolest toy ever made. You pedal really fast, and then jerk the handle to the side, and it spins you in circles. (the back wheels are similar to those on a shopping cart) I would have gotten on it if I wasn't so tall. It looked like a lot of fun. Maddy wanted to ride with Erynn, but had second thoughts as soon as I was snapping the picture...

Maddy was a nice big sister, and let Sarah ride her tricycle... Well, she stood on the back so it was too heavy for Sarah to go anywhere... But Sarah was happy to be in the drivers seat, so she didn't care!
The other night Maddy thought that Ben was cold... so she put Sarah's sweater on him! I walked into the family room and found Ben happily playing with his toys, in a pink sweater. Maddy was giggling and Ben thought it was pretty funny too...
One of Ben's new tricks is putting his pacifier in his mouth... or taking it out and chewing on it. Pretty much he is a drooly mess for most of the day.
Father/Son bonding. Notice the Cubs blanket... yep, starting early. Ben has NO choice, but to be a Cubs fan.
Maddy LOVES to take care of her baby brother. It seems like there was a time that she loved to take care of her baby sister... but then her baby sister got big, and takes her toys instead of letting Maddy do whatever she wants to her. So she has moved on. And for the time being, Ben is all about his biggest sister. She is the funniest girl in the world to him. His other sister? Well, all she seems to do is take his toys and poke him in the eye. For now, he'd like to keep his distance. Sometimes, when nobody is looking, she'll softly stroke his head and say to him, "BenaMEN, BenaMEN, BenaMEN" and kiss him and walk away.
Big Thanks to my brother and his wife, for letting us borrow this... He loves it.
Ben's favorite toy... Barbie. Lets face it. Cars, and planes don't have long, soft hair.
Playing at the park with Uncle Ryan
Erynn and Sarah, playing on the seesaw... Well, I guess Erynn was holding her on the seesaw. Fun for Sarah, NOT for Erynn...
Closing her eyes... seesaws can be pretty scary...
Just in case you were wondering where Ben was while all of this park playing was going on... He was bundled nice and warm in his carseat. Keeping his eye on the soccer ball.
It is really nice to live so close to my younger siblings. I love to hang out with them and so do my kids. As much as Maddy would love to go play with them EVERYDAY, it looks like we will be hanging out a little less. WE ARE MOVING!! Not too far away, just to Conway. Instead of living 10-15 minutes down the road, we will now live about 30 minutes away, and we will be in a different ward. It is going to be weird for Maddy not to have Erynn and Josh in primary with her, but she'll make new friends. We have been blessed with the opportunity to build our first home. We are set to close on or before April 15th, and we are SO EXCITED!!

I have made several attempts to potty train Sarah... SO here she is on her throne. Weeks ago. Is she potty trained? That would be a big, fat, NOPE. Oh well, as long as she's potty trained before she starts kindergarten, I'll be fine.
Big sister, supervising Ben's nap...
Ben's favorite toy... Barbie. Lets face it. Cars, and planes don't have long, soft hair.
Poor boy, he doesn't have much choice with two older sisters!

I will try and post pictures of the building process... I've already missed the boat on some of it! They cleared the lot and started preparing to pour the foundation before we had the chance to take any pictures. They're not wasting any time!
