How can it already be March? Wow! 2011 is already flying by... I always seem to think that the next stage in life will be less busy, but it never seems to work out that way. I am thankful for all of the fun that we can have together - even in the everyday-ness of things.
Below are the pictures for the rest of February. Enjoy!
A day of REAL snow. And they didn't cancel or even delay school! Booo! The boys got out and played for a few minutes, though. Thank goodness the boys are early-risers :)
Today Bennett brought home this great drawing. It sat on the counter for a while until I turned it over and found this:
Priceless.
The Mercedes Marathon! Bennett ran the first 25 miles at school throughout the year and completed the final mile this morning. I'm so proud of him! He jogged the whole way... and no complaints about hurting legs this time :)
I didn't get a picture of it, but he was met at the finish line by Aubie. Woohoo!
On the way back to the car he was fascinated with the signs along the that detailed the Civil Rights Movement in Birmingham. He stopped and read each sign with interest. They had been learning about it in school, so this was super cool to see in our own city.
I was reminded of his innocence. He has no idea that anyone would be treated differently for the way that they look. He came home from school a few days ago and asked me if I had known that some people were treated differently because their skin was brown. The thought had never crossed his mind. I am thankful for that.
Finally! A baby shower for Gigi that Bennett can attend! He was so excited to be able to help Gigi open the gifts for Evie (and to have the cake!) We can't wait for Evie to get here!
Happy Valentine's Day! Bennett got a few action figures, a M&M dispenser and an Auburn magazine.
Brad got a homemake chocolate cake.
And I got these beautiful roses... just like the one that Brad brought me on our first date:)
As we walked downstairs this morning to go to carpool, Bennett said 'You know what mom? When I wear jeans I feel confident!' I love that! He looks so handsome in his jeans - and to think, just a year ago he fought me tooth-and-nail when I tried to get him to wear them. He sure is growing up!
First baseball practice! We have a new coach and a new team! Here's hoping for a great season!
Brad and I took a walk this morning together. We dreamed about the house that we'll build someday. Brad is drawing up some plans... we'll work on the plans for the next 20 years or so to get it just right :)
My jedi waits for me at the bottom of the hill. No Sith will be able to get to the house with this guard on watch!
Brad left for Montana this afternoon...
and Bennett got his first 'fat lip' at practice :(
This afternoon Bennett had his friend Hughes over to play. As they were leaving, Hughes mentioned that he was saving his money up for a Ph1ten necklace. Bennett said 'Hold on just a minute!' and ran to get Hughes the necklace that he had bought for himself with his Christmas money. So sweet!
He lost a tooth! (with a little help from that ball that caused the fat lip!)
Cheetos for dinner! He was so excited - we NEVER have cheetos in our house...
This afternoon we had a haircut right after school. We stopped at Edgars to get a snack and do our homework. Then we were off to baseball practice. Busy day!
My daily view from carpool line.
Bennett had to wear 'nice clothes' for the fieldtrip to see a muscial today. He wasn't happy about the 'nice clothes' part, but he sure did look nice :)
Brad came home from Montana! (with a new hat!) We were REALLY glad to have him back home!
Happy Birthday Nana!!

Bennett's children's choir sang at a nursing home. They did a great job!
I love my phone!
