Fantastic Four!

Ben is now four months old and he is fantastic! He is now rolling over both ways, reaching and grabbing everything and anything that gets near him. He's working on his cute baby sounds and endearing old people everywhere with his laughter! His next plan is to learn to sit up unassisted.

Here's Ben's four month picture, still has the wild hair. : )




Still looking pretty similar to me but that could just be the lack of eyebrows on both of them!

We took advantage of the three day weekend as well as my parents neighbors being out of the country to head over to Chelan for the weekend. Grandma and Grandpa's house was full with Aunt Kacey, Uncle Eric, Nathan, Kayla and some of their friends so borrowing the neighbors house worked out perfectly. We were also joined by Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Chris and cousin Claire. It sure is fun to watch all the kids interact. Here's Claire and McKenzie enjoy breakfast together.



Being right across the street from Grandma and Grandpa's had its advantages and we took advantage of it by letting both kids have a little quality time with the G's. Ben stayed and played with Grandma while Matt and I took McKenzie to the pool ("wa-tee" as McKenzie calls it). She thought that was the best. The only thing that got her out of the pool was the promise of going on the swings at the playground near the pool. Here's a picture of us with Grandpa C and Nathan. Guess everyone else should have been wearing their sun glasses in the pool too.




McKenzie and me, happy in the pool!




Daddy with Ben after dinner at one of our favorite places in Chelan - Lake Chelan Winery where we like their wine and LOVE their BBQ ribs! We eat at the BBQ every time we come to town.

The drives over and back were long but the kids did great. Ben loves his car seat and would prefer to sleep there over anywhere else. Guess he's just practicing for when he grows up and gets a Lazy-Boy recliner. At least he's happy!
