"Good night Grandpa Crocka"

Well marathom rehab is going well. I am still amazed at him. Now Ben is always "racin'" around the house. Most the time it is alright with me cause everything gets done that much faster!
Zach has taken the child care arrangements upon himself so I could attend womens conference on Friday. I felt so bad when he said he couldn't get off work and he was still gonna take care of it. Then he said "Becca, womens conference for you is like hunting for me, I want you to go". He is the best husband ever!
No go on the V.P. for Dave. Thanks to everyone for voting for him, it was said to have been close. It takes guts to try and I am proud of him for that. He is probably the most ambicious kid I know. You'll go far Dave!
Ben is becoming more and more independent everday. I love watching him grow...but a little piece of my heart breaks when he says "it's okay mom, I got it".
and then I look at Sarah scootin' around on her belly and think "I'm not sure why I was so anxious for the mobile days". They just grow so fast! It is so fun to watch and be a part of! Ben is sure in for it when she really starts getting around! She is already grabbing at everything! She has two little teefers and I love to see them when she smiles! She loves to be outside, thank goodness! Yesterday was finally warm and we loved being out there!
Now as for Grandpa Crocka and Sierus and Faba and Hick and ....oh my random names! Ben makes them all up and I have no idea how he thinks of them or where they come from! Believe me, they aren't my invention- I come up with names like Sue and Billy.
This is Ben the Buffalo, he has been wearing this just about every chance he has and it makes me laugh...except for when he charges his little sister...then it isn't as funny.
This post has officially been as random as it's title. "good night Grandpa Crocka" which is what we have to say after we say good night to him. The joys of a three year old!

I enjoyed this post even though it was random. :) Ben is such a funny kid, I can't imagine where he gets his randomness from... oh maybe his mom! Cute kids.

SO cute and they do grow too fast! It's sad when they're too big to want help, I'm sure. Thanks for your advice on my blog today! I really appreciate it.

What a cute little family you have. I'm so glad you're going to women's conference...I bet it'll be very cool and so nice of Zach to make the child care arrangements! We have similar, funny names at our house too (although not as creative!) that the boys use for their stuffed animals. We have a reindeer named Alfie and a yellow elf dressed up in a bunny suit (very strange stuffed animal to start with) named Buffalo. :)
