We have been very busy the last few weeks as seen by all the posts I have done. Life is not boring here. Between trying to sell our house, potty training Benny and watching Timmy grow and explore, we have been having fun. We went up Mt. Rainier not once but twice in one week (thank you cousin Amy, it was fun). Now Benny asks to "go up the mountain" almost every day. Benny and Timmy's cousin Amy came for a visit. We are busy with church activities and play dates for Benny. Everyone here is somewhat healthy (just allergies). Enjoy all the pictures and videos.
Oh, Benny told me the other day that he wanted a Thomas the Tank Engine birthday party. He also wanted Gordon, Toby and Edward for this birthday. So, if anyone wants ideas for what to get him for his birthday, anything Thomas would work. We have the track masters system so more track would be helpful. Also puzzles and books would be good ideas for gifts as well.

Update
Hi there! I just wanted to give everyone an update on what is going on out here on the West Coast! From all the posts, you can see that we have been very busy. Not only was there Easter and the Puyallup Spring Fair, but we also visited the zoo again. We are trying to take advantage of any sunny days we can get.
Even though there have been cases of the swine flu in the state of Washington, it has not affected us in any way. I caught a common cold last week and I think Brad brought it home from his work because he was sick before me. I think Benny is finally getting it but I am not sure since he is still dealing with teething issues. I am feeling much better but not a hundred percent yet.
We joined our local YMCA last week. Benny really enjoys playing in the nursery there. I started a Twelve Week Class. In this class I meet with a trainer and we discuss my exercise goals and we map out a program tailored to meet those goals. Every time I go in to exercise, I have to log in and put in what I did that day (ex, treadmill , bike etc). I will then meet with the trainer every 3 weeks to see how the program is working and make any adjustments. The great part about it is that I can count working out at home as part of the program. My immediate goal is to do a cardio activity three times a week at least 30 minutes each time. Brad has gone once so far and really liked the variety of equipment and programs. We signed Benny up for swim lessons. These are parent/child lessons, so one of us will be in the water with him. If we get in, he will be starting May 18th and go until the 2nd week of June. We will keep you posted on that.

Another update!
Whew! When did it get to be March so soon? And now we have to set our clocks back? Ahh! This year is going too fast!!!
Now that I got that out of my system, I will update you all on what is going on around here.
We have not heard anything about a change in Brad's job. The guy he might be replacing is not set to retire until May so we may not hear anything until closer to that time.
Benny is quite the funny guy lately. Tonight on the way home from work, I caught him trying to use his shoe as a phone. When we got home, he was watching his "Your Baby Can Read" video. There is a part in there when they are doing the "Head, Shoulder, Knees and Toes" song. Benny was sitting in his chair and trying to do the motions. He could pat his head and legs. Now they are doing the "If You're Happy and You Know It" song. He actually clapped along. What a smart boy.
He loves to color and draw. Unfortunately, he tried to color the refrigerator the other day. Good thing it is black.
He starting to ask for things. His way of doing this is to grunt and point, so it is a guessing game for us.
I hope to update his wish list. His birthday is only 4 months away!

Update
Sorry I haven't updated this recently. Fall is officially here. It is rainy and cold in the Northwest. Yesterday we went to a local farm to pick out our pumpkins. Benny had a great time looking at the animals. I have more pictures to upload of our vacation and the pumpkin patch. We have let Benny have more freedom as he is getting older. No longer do we contain him in the living room. Soon he will have access to the whole downstairs. He has been having fun exploring the pots and pans in the kitchen. Hope everyone is doing well.
