I love to go to Grandpa's house


A couple weeks ago (right after we got back from our 3 wk Utah trip)we were driving in the car and out of the blue Ben started singing.  This is quite a familiar scene, however the more I listened the more I realized he was making up his own song AND he was rhyming it.  I was a little taken back and had to start laughing. The more we listened we realized he was not only rhyming but he was also making sense!  I had to call up my dad and have him sing it to him.  He hasn't  sung it in a while so he had forgotten it a little when we recorded it today, and of course he felt it would be more entertaining if he acted silly. :)

Here are the original words in case you couldn't understand (with Landon in the back ground expressing his obsession with cars crashing... it is a little hard to hear..)

I love to go to grandpa's house cause grandpa always reads to me
before he reads he knows he needs his glasses on so he can see
where ever may my glasses be grandpa always reads to me
we look in drawers, behind closed doors, we look in closets shelves and floors cause grandpa always reads to me

The part that totally cracks me up is that it is true grandpa Jake has to go get his reading glasses to read Ben stories :)  Thanks dad for the inspiration behind Ben's first composition.  Our boys just adore you!

Ok in my defense I tried for more than an hour to get the video (that is suppose to go with this entry) to upload.... still working on it sorry so for now a picture of Ben with Grandpa. If any one that has a mac knows how to upload a picture to blogger I would love to know the trick...:)

A small glimpse of the last 3 months...

I know it has been forever since I last updated our blog...We have had so many fun adventures in the past 3 months!  In October we went to Oceanside, San Diego, Disneyland, Sea World, and of course the beach!  We had a great time with my cousin Lisa (who lives near San Diego) and her husband Darcy and little girl Parker. Ben and Parker got along like best buds!  They saw the star wars show at Disneyland and Ben insisted on needing a light saver and ended up as a Jedi knight (obi won) for Halloween.  Landon was Yoda.  Landon has been talking a TON these day and he quickly picked up on how to say 'twik o tweet' :) November the boys and I headed to Utah for a couple week and then in December we all went out to Utah for Christmas for 3 weeks!  The cold and snow wasn't so great but it was great seeing family and friends. We are happy to be back in Cali enjoying the nice weather!


Meagan and the boys get along so perfect! They absolutely adore each other!
Ben was picking his nose right before and as soon as I told him to stop picking his nose OF COURSE Landon had to be just like brother. He has such a personality :)
does this look like a face of someone having fun in the snow???
it appears little California boy has taken after his mom...It tooks us over  1/2 hr to get ready and we were outside for maybe 10 min. The wind started blowing and it was SO COLD! 

Landon decided to start his own fashion trend... He insists and wearing underwear like brother (of course they have to been McQueen) and so half the time he makes me put them on over his diaper under his pants, however this day was the exception....funny kid :) Look at him thinking he is just the man


All Ben wanted from Santa was 'crashing cars' and he thought that is what Landon wanted as well. They absolutely loved their cars because they do crash and then you hit a button and they are fixed like magic.  They have started getting a long like best buds these days. I love it!
Grandpa Jake played horsie while the boys rode him and had a great time wrestling with the boys.  Ben's newest phrase during this time some how became 'i'm gonna take you down' as he would tackle me over.  Poor gramps isn't acting in this picture Ben really DID pull his ears. Sorry dad...
riding grandpa the horse
on the way back from Utah in November the pilot had the boys come into his cock pit and 'fly the plane.  Their leather jackets get them all kinds of in's.  The stuart also had him come back and make his own drink of sprite!  It helped that we were in the very last seat on the plane...
obi won focusing on his 'attack'
