Busy Weekend!

This past weekend Bennett and I got to "play house" for a few days. Mom and Dad Larsen headed to Utah with Reece for 2 weeks and our sister-in-law Bonnie flew home to Maryland for a weekend getaway for her husband's (Alan) graduation. So Bennett and I got some practice at being Mom and Dad :) We watched our niece Hadley and nephews Cooper and Grant. It was sure BUSY but we had a lot of fun. Hadley is such a smart girl and LOVES anything princess and girly. She loves to walk around the house in my high heels and is often wearing a princess dress :) Cooper is such a funny little thing and loves to snuggle (or "hold you" in his words). My new favorite words he says are "dur-dur" (turtle) and "ta-tu" (thank you). He calls Bennett "Menet" and me "Nenna". What a cutie :) Grant is just living the baby life sleeping and eating. He definately likes to be snuggled most of the day and has the most adorable features. Below are some pics of us decorating cupcakes. Yes, they were pink cupcakes with pink frosting....what else would I pick??? :)

The little bakers hard at work putting on their sprinkles

I think they ate more frosting and sprinkles while decorating than were put on the cupcakes

Cooper flashin' his grin

For Father's Day, I gave Bennett tickets for us to go see a Texas Rangers game. He was pretty excited! We love to go to sporting events together :) He was wearing a bow-tie from church made out of M&M's...it did not last a bow-tie for long. I made him Manicotti, Caesar salad and garlic bread for dinner with the usual German chocolate cake for dessert.

And here is a recent belly pic...22 1/2 weeks!! Woo-hoo!! Lil' Moomoo has been kicking and wiggling around my belly, especially at night. I've decided she is practing her cheer moves :)

A little trial by fire in parenting. Aren't you glad they only come one at a time. :) You guys are great!

Bennett's not quite a dad yet, but it looks like he deserved those Ranger tickets this past weekend.

What cuties! (The kiddos and your prego-ness!) Great job and handling them. I'm sure you did a great job. Enjoy the game!
