Benny's Wish List

The holidays are just around the corner. With that in mind, I have added and edited Benny's wish list. Feel free to go there to see what he hope to get Benny for Christmas.

Scary Wednesday

One of my greatest fears was realized. I slipped coming down the stairs while I was holding Benny. It happened Wednesday morning. Luckily, Benny is okay. He wasn't phased by it at all. I only slipped down 4 or 5 steps and managed to scoot my way to the bottom. I ended up spraining my right ankle. Brad and Benny took me to the doctor and the doctor told me to keep it elevated and iced. They gave me a neat brace to wear for when I have to walk. If it didn't feel better by today, I was supposed to get an x-ray. It is feeling much better, but I still need to use the brace. I have been out of work for the last 3 days and I am ready to get back to it. I am so thankful that Benny didn't get hurt and I am doing fine.

More Benny Pictures

Brad took this picture of Benny napping. He is a stomach sleeper just like his daddy. Here is Bubble Boy. Benny is have much more fun in the bathtub these days because I have been adding bubble bath to his bath. He likes to try to eat the bubbles. What a nice bubble beard.
Party on Benny!
Here is Benny at dinner time. Look how big he is in that highchair. This was taken today. He likes to play with wheels. If he is not climbing on it, he is turning it over to get at the wheels.

Pumpkin Video

Here is a video of Benny walking around the pumpkin patch. It was quite cold that morning.

More Pumpkin Patch Fun

Here is Benny looking at the chicks. Here he is looking at them from the side.
This was a little pumpkin patch they had for little kids. These pumpkins were Benny size. He liked playing with the stems.

Pumpkin Patch

At Spooner Farms they have these spiders made from hay bales. Benny liked playing with this one's eye. This is a little barn they decorate with pumpkins.
Inside the activity barn, they had alot of fun things for kids to do. They had different things for the kids to bang on to make music. This water jug was one of them. Benny just liked pushing it and watching it swing.
Here is Benny and daddy riding a "horse". I think Daddy had more fun. Benny was too busy looking at the other kids.
This was kind of neat. They set up these water pumps and rain gutters so the kids can have duck races. You would put a little duck in the rain gutter and then push up and down on the pump to make the water flow and make the duck go to the end. Benny was more interested in the water.
We went to a local farm called Spooner Farms for our pumpkins this year. We have been going there for the past 3 years. They have a lot of pumpkins, gourds and indian corn for sale. They have activities for kids which Benny just loved as well as animals for the kids to see. Benny had a great time and I can't wait for next year when he will be able to do more things.

Vacation (Part 3) Scott Air Force Base

While on vacation, we had the opportunity to go to the Open House at Scott Air Force Base. I had been there before a long time ago and I wanted Benny to experience it. It was a whole family affair because Granpa and Grandma went as well as Benny's Aunts and Uncle Steve. Benny had a great time looking at all of the big airplanes (especially the wheels). Brad and Benny got a chance to see the Thunderbirds perform. Well, Brad did anyway because Benny fell asleep during their performance. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
The guys from McChord Air Force Base where there. Brad and Benny got to sit in the cockpit of the plane.
