Cool or What??

So, who could use a new Kitchenaid Mixer? 5 Quart with all the bells and whistles? Oh, and did I mention it's FREE?!?! All you have to do is go over to my sister's site at www.doughmesstic.com leave a post at the giveaway site and mention that I sent you. If you win, Iwin! How cool is that! And while you're there, check out all the cool things she's working on from classes to recipes to opinions (and believe me, she has a lot of ALL of them!). So head on over and register. We Want Mixers!

Hittin' the Pumpkin Patch

Weelll, contrary to popular belief the Lauer clan has not dropped off the face of the planet. We've just been a little on the busy side. With school, soccer, housework, and of course Ben, I don't have as much time as I would like.
Today, however, was a fun day. The kids were out of school and we all decided that a trip to Bender's for the Pumpkin Patch was in order. Clay and Nate loved running thru the hay bale maze and Benny just enjoyed playing in the straw bed. So, with animals to feed, pumpkins to pick, and apples to eat, a good time was had by all.
We hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the fall weather.

World Peas

So, I've discovered that while nutritional, peas are not one of Ben's favorite foods. He'll eat them, but not before getting a very confused look with each bite. It's like each time he's expecting something sweet and each time he's disappointed. Anywho, the boy will eat just about anything, but he would be completely content eating nothing but pears day in and day out.
Well, we hope you are all doing well and enjoy the video!

Easter Massacre

So, here's the story. The Easter Bunny in his infinate wisdom decided to bring the boys an Easter Pinata as opposed to baskets. The boys tried their best but to no avail (apparently cardboard is much stronger when it comes from Bunnyland). Finally, however, the pinata gets knocked down and Nate has to get a little nuts to get it open. I was able to video the whole thing. It's a little long, but well worth it. We hope everyone had as good a time as the boys did this Easter.

There's also some some pics of Ben before Easter, but just too cute to leave out.

1st Foods!

Well, Ben had his first taste of baby food yesterday. He seems to enjoy it although he's not always sure what to do with it. But, he's still a happy little thing and we still feel really lucky to have him. Hope you're all doing well!

Too Cute!

Okay. So I know I wear very thick Mommy-Goggles, but I am hear to tell you this boy is cute. He is turning into such the little ham, as you can tell. He is getting so big and changing so much, I'm trying to stay up on pictures. Here are some from the past week or so. Hope you all enjoy them as much as I do.
