Last Thursday we visited the LA Arboretum in Arcadia. The trees were all blooming and the weather was really nice. The kids really enjoyed running around in all the open areas and our personal favorite collecting sticks. This trip is very much worth the little drive.
Side note: Benny is still very much into pajama pants. Let us all pray he does not wear them to his first real job interview :)
It is about time I get some help cleaning the kitchen! Eli's new favorite activities include....doing dishes, organizing cabinets, and stocking the fridge. Thanks Eli!
The boys favorite activity is still an afternoon at the park. When I ask them what they want to do they always include the park (like Disneyland and the park, preschool and the park, a movie and the park, etc). This week before soccer and after preschool we played at the park. Sometimes the simplest of activities are the most fun!
Miss Riley in the swing
The older kids love pushing the swing, especially Miss Maia
Ok I took way too many pictures of Eli in the swing, but he was just so happy I couldn't help it.
Nate is the Big Brother! As the oldest he sets an amazing example for Benny and Eli. This little boy loves people and loves getting out. The first thing he asks me each day is where are we going and who is going to be there. He does not have a lazy bone in his body...he is a very hard worker. He can be very serious and shy at times, but when he is in his silly mood this boy can laugh forever! Nate has a very kind heart and is quick to think of others, very intuitive for a four year old. His favorite colors are green and red. When he grows up he wants to be a Daddy and Woody from Toy Story.
Benny is Mr. personality....you can tell he is the second child. He is very easy going about so many things, but he definitely has an opinion. He is great at sharing and he loves playing with others. Benny also enjoys his alone time and can entertain himself for a long time. He has a little crazy streak in him. This mixed with his ability to charm makes it very hard to get mad at him. Benny can make anyone laugh. He makes every activity entertaining. This little boy can melt your heart! He loves cars, dinosaurs, monster trucks, and painting (most of the time on himself). He looks up to Nate so much and wants to do everything he can do.
Little Eli is the youngest of our three boys. He is just such a sweet little guy. He wants to keep up with his older brothers more than anything. He is always following them around the house or play ground. He loves balls of any type and is quick to point them out and say "BALL". He loves to sing and dance, he has some very impressive moves. He could sleep anywhere and we haven't found a loud noise that scares him yet. Mr. Eli is very attached to his Mama. He is also my best eater, this boy will eat almost anything.
