March

We took G to the Zoo for the last time in a while. Our passes are up and since I'll be having a baby soon we probably won't renew right away. It was a sweltering 80+ degree day so we didn't stay too long, but had fun the short time we were there.

Looking at the Polar Bears

We also had a visit from the Leprechaun on the 17th! Griffin was so cute when he saw the green footprints the led downstairs and was really excited to follow them...

It got even better when he realized the Leprechaun left him a pot of gold candy :)

"Ben Barker"

Griffin really loves his dad. He's his favorite person in the world- hands down. He also has been calling him "Ben Barker" the past little while (he heard me call him that once and thought it was funny). Everywhere we go he tells strangers "My daddy's name is Ben Barker"...its kind of hilarious. He wants to do everything his dad does. Shave, shower, wear his shoes, eat a "meat sandwich" with his dad, you name it.

Its also a great trick to get him to do things as long as Ben does it first:).

Alvin & the chipmunks anyone?

We celebrated Ben's 35th Birthday this month. We went to dinner with friends & family and then he went race car driving with his friends. He's a leap year baby so it always gets a little tricky and he's a little sensitive about it, but I think he had a great day. Happy Birthday to the BEST husband and father we could ever ask for!

ps- I'm not sure whats going on in this picture....
