hockey game

Ben won tickets to the hockey game at work so we got to sit in the box seats, I always have so much fun when we get tickets from work because I get to meet people that Ben works with and hang in the  seats with them. 

My camera died so these are the only pictures I got, 

(me and ben being silly:)

Ben's Birthday day!

For Ben's Birthday he wanted to spend the day at the beach, so we did.  We had a great time it was a little chilly but not to bad.
                          Jackson had so much fun giving Ben his gifts I think he was more excited than Ben. 

                                And then this is what happens at the beach after you have caught to many rays.

                                         This is Ben and I he was totally asleep :) and I thought I was so so funny.

                                                      And the birthday cake.... German Chocolate Ben's favorite.

Happy Birthday Ben!

Not much has been going on here, just enjoying the sun... sort of (it has been so super hot)  doing the preschool thing and just hanging out.  So I don't really have anything to say so I will leave you with these...
