Little Ben

Here is little Benji. He is becoming such a happy baby. He is the cutest little boy. Here you go grandma dolly!

The Pacifier

Mommy was busy doing what mommies do and she heard some crying. She walked in to Isaac and Benjamin reenacting the movie The Pacifier.

Isaac: "buh, doo-doo, ahh-doo, ahh, buh, doo-doo?" (moves in on Benjamin and climbs on him)

(repeat 5x)

Benjamin: soft audible cries

Isaac squeezes Benjamin's left hand and squeezes two fingers tightly.

Mommy quick grabs a camera.

Fox and the Hound

Benjamin reminds us of a certain baby Simpson.

Someday, all those golden curls will be a bald spot.

Here are a few pictures leftover from the grandparents visit. Grandpa and Isaac had their masks on. Grandpa thought it was funny. Isaac loves his grandpa and grandma. I think he thought that grandpa was the man in the yellow hat from Curious George.

Grandpa and Grandma came to town...

Grandparents are sure happy to see their grandchildren. Isaac was very happy to see his grandpa and grandma from far away. After the initial withdrawal from hand holding with grandma, he warmed up to them both.

Benjamin thinks grandpa only wears some type of yellow.
Isaac said he's right.

Grandpa took Isaac on a long walk. Isaac came home and was so tired. Don't worry about the pale cheeks, he warmed up later.

Isaac loves the Cowboys. Actually, he thought it was about real cowboys with guns and horses and masks. Oh well. At least he got it really dirty.

There are some people who would never let their kid wear "other teams" gear. Personally, I could care less, he doesn't know the difference between Packers and Cowboys.

Ben and Jerry (Isaac)

Here are some great pictures of Jennifer with Benjamin, Jenn's Aunt Judy and Uncle John with Benny, Luke from church trying to hold Isaac, Daddy, Benji and Isaac,

Peekabo

Isaac and Benjamin have been having a lot of fun together. Yes, Isaac is smiling there. Daddy and Isaac also shared some cookie dough ice cream.

Peekaboo Daddy...

GO PACK GO

It is never to early to teach your children to read. Of course, they should read articles that are true and inspiring.

Guess who Isaac's favorite football player is?

The Best of Friends

Isaac and Ben are best friends. They go places and get in trouble like Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. You have to keep your eye out for these two, no matter where they are hiding.

They are bestest buddies, Isaac just doesn't know it yet.

Ben's friends and family

Happy New Year Benjamin

Well, we all made it home safely. Benjamin is doing great. Make sure you watch the videos in order to see how Isaac responded to his brother.

Welcome to the world

Welcome Benjamin David Records, born at 5:00 pm on 12/31/07.

Both mommy and baby are fine.

Of course, there was one person who wasn't so happy about it all...
