This year, Brad turned 12 and received the Priesthood! It was such a special occasion to be there with him, and even more special for our family because he was the first grandchild to do so! Opa Hans and Ramona came down from Midway to celebrate with Bradley, and we took full advantage to play with them!
I think it was more fun to watch Ramona and Opa Hans with Ben than it was to watch Ben. We are so lucky to have such amazing family.
I can't believe how much alike they look! Ben is definitely a Fischer!
Ramona (unwillingly) shared her Dr. Pepper with Ben!
Uncle Randy thought it would be fun to see if Ben liked some new foods...
Since we've been stuck inside all winter, we've spent a lot of time playing together and playing with Ollie. I apologize for the million pictures but I want to always remember what this peaceful and fun time of our lives was like!
We were so excited when we finally started to see our grass from underneath the snow! I was so ready for spending a lot of time playing outside in our yard!
The bike Ben got for Christmas from grandma and grandpa Norton quickly became his favorite toy over the winter. In the beginning, we were so excited that he could just sit on it!
More tub adventures:
Ollie the Jed-dog and Jedi Master Ben have joined forces to battle the forces of evil.
Even though they speak different languages, they still understand each other.
Evil mom has Jed-dog Ollie trapped!
The forces of good joined together to trap the evil Darth Vader and Stormtrooper in the prison for the most evil villains.
Jed-dog Ollie sends the prison and prisoners plunging to the depths of the galaxy!
Playing with daddy! We will do anything to get this kid to laugh!
Ben is getting quite adept at the selfie.
So is Ollie. She is a terrible workout partner though.
She only cooperates after the workout is over.
Ben has figured out that mom drinks a yummy shake for breakfast. He sneaks a few sips while I carry him out to the car on our way to work in the morning!
Ben recently started holding his bottle! The only problem is when he falls asleep mid-way through!
Even though it's freezing outside, we still get out for a walk a few times a week. Ben still loves the stroller and Ollie still loves walking with Ben. They are going to be best buds!
Ben figured out that he could make funny noises in the stroller while we were walking!
Why eat food when you can eat your pants?
Ben is so cute with stuffed animals. Stuffed animals don't last very long in our house because Ollie also thinks they are fun, and doesn't return them to Ben in very good condition!
Taking Ollie on walks gets her good and tired! I love to watch her take naps on her big bed!
