Bens lazer tag birthday party!

8 years old and counting!

Motorcycle riding in Pala!

Yep Ben still has it pretty good. We went motorcycle riding with some friends after he helped with a photo shoot AND had lacrosse practice.

Bonzai!!!!

Ben and daddy went to the mountains on Saturday to bask in the glory of the new snow! They even got on the channel 8 news!

Ben being awesome

My budding photographer. When I came to his Halloween class party he immediately asked for my camera. He proceeded to walk around the party and get pictures of everyone in action and super candid. It was amazing to watch him work. He does what I do. Bends down on one knee. Stands on stuff and shoots down. It was so great. And the other picture is if his pure tea drinking book reading awesomeness on a stick!

Saving the ERF!

Ben used to say. "Don't hurt it mom it's for the Erf." Referring To a big scary spider I was intending to smash. So we have set about saving the ERF in a new way.....recycling! We have an abundance of plastic bottles at our school from the student. And they so nicely leave them strewn out all over my fields a.k.a my office. So where I used to just see it as trash I see "free money!" 5cents per bottle to be exact. It only takes about 3 days to fill up a big bag to take to the recycle center. Ben has fun feeding the bottles into the machine and watching the nickels add up! Here is a picture of him with his winnings today!
