We have a Mr. Potato Head at the condo, and Bennett thought that it would be funny to put the funny tongue and glasses on himself....I think he missed where the glasses were supposed to go....I don't think you can see through your nose dork. :o)

Playing in the Snow...
My mom, Bennett and I headed back up to Lake Arrowhead for Saturday and Sunday while Dan and his guys had their monthly LAN party at our house. Figured we would play in the snow again since it is pretty rare that the snow stays this long at mom's condo. It is so fun because we can basically play in the backyard of the condo. Bennett just loves it. This time Grammy took him out sledding and made a snowman with him. He loved getting dressed in all of the snowclothes and snowboots. Just makes me laugh that he walks like the StayPuff Marshmallow Man when he is in his snow gear. :o)

Dan's Birthday - 37 years old - whoo hoo!
Happy Birthday dear Dan.....your 37!! Ugh - he will forever be younger than me! Well, we didn't rent a bouncy house for his birthday, we'll save that for Bennett! But we did have a nice dinner at home with my mom and Cheryl on his birthday, and the next night went out for an adults only birthday dinner at Vitello's with Dan's family. Always love an evening out. Happy Birthday Dan!
Cheryl gave Dan an LED flashlight that straps on to your head for when you work in places that you need to have your hands free to do so....pretty much for when he works on his computers. :o) (Especially since there are no mines around here for him to go trudging around in. :o)
Bennett is showing off his many multitasking talents...wearing the head flashlight and playing the harmonica at the same time....what can I say....he has skills. :o)

Dan's Aunt Mona - 77th Birthday at Disneyland
Dan, Bennett and I joined Dan's dad Nick and Dan's Aunt Mo for a day at Disneyland. Mo turned 77 this year and had never been to Disneyland! She always wanted to go and what with this being the year where you get in to Disneyland for free on your birthday it was a perfect chance to go. She is out visiting here from Minnesota for a month. She said that her favorite ride of the whole day was Pirates of the Carribean. We had a great day.

Me and B on the Tea Cups - he LOVES this ride! Something about 2 year olds and spinning around incessantly!
Bennett finally got to meet Mickey Mouse!
Riding the train. Bennett kept shouting "All Aboard"...even when we were already moving. :o)
Finding the hidden treasure on Tom Sawyer's Island...well Pirate's Lair now....and the treasure isn't really that hidden!d

Snow, Snow Snow!!
My mom, Cheryl, Riley the doggie, Dan, Bennett and I made a trip to Lake Arrowhead to mom's condo to play in the snow for the weekend. The snow on the mountain off the back of the condo was great for sledding down, making snowmen, and having a few snowball fights. The weather has been great and we are having a nice time relaxing here. The condo doesn't always get snow that stays for very long, so it was fun to come up and take advantage of it right out our back door! There was about 2 feet of snow there.
Our attempt to get Riley to pull Bennett on the sled. She was totally willing to do it too!
Can you guess where this snowball is going to land just judging by Dan's defensive pose?? Smack on the head! :o)
World's tiniest snowman. About 18 inches tall. :o)
Yumm....Snow tastes good. We were just glad that his tongue didn't stick to it!
My one and only artsy shot of the trip. This is off our balcony with the twinkle lights on the railing overlooking the backyard.

New Years Day 2009
Caution: Content of this post may contain info about USC, all diehard UCLA fans skip this post if you are unable to read about USC. :o)
Just kidding...well, not about the USC part! We were rooting for USC to win the Rose Bowl this year. (I'm sure all of my friends who are UCLA fans were instantly Penn State fans for at least one day ;0) My mom brought a cake over the night before that just happened to have a USC logo that was exactly the same as the logo on the shirt Dan was wearing that night. Pretty funny. Had to also get a picture of Dan and Bennett wearing their USC shirts. Very cute...matchy matchy. :o) Dan was very happy with the outcome of the game...Go USC!
Remote Control Grandpa
Bennett will find any excuse to get someone to drive one of his remote control cars and when Grandma and Grandpa came over last week, it was no exception. He suckered...I mean...coaxed Grandpa into driving his remote control truck around the foyer till the batteries ran out. :o) Boys and cars...that's all I'm sayin'.
