A boy, dirt, a dump truck, and a dog.....it's a beautiful thing.....
These pictures are some of my favorite of Ben. The simple quite moments when his imagination is going wild. He had a blast at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Grandpa Dennis and Thunder the wonder dog, helping Ben put together his new tracks. Ben got a special gift card from Grandpa Ken a few days earlier. And Ben picked out new train tracks and a remote control train with some of his money!

Breakfast Brunch at the Bread and Butter Cafe
Before leaving to see Gary and Pete, we met with Grandpa Ken, Tom, Josh, and Sarah for some yummy food.
Josh and his sweet girlfriend Sara ~ Brothers Dan and Josh ~ Boys will be boys ~
Family of 4 ~
The spoiling continues with Uncle Gary and Uncle Pete ~
We arrived at Uncle Gary and Uncle Pete's house and we were treated like royalty! Gary and Pete got a mini recliner for Ben! Gary had a mini apron waiting for Ben when we arrived. Ben the chef helped Gary make spaghetti and meatballs! Pete made some yummy shrimp cocktails. And we felt so special staying in the "suite". The only down fall is that we had to leave the next day to get back on the road! But Gary and Pete packed a delicious lunch and travel food pack for us! Thank you Gary and Pete! We love you!
Making Spaghetti and Meatballs with Uncle Gary ~ Just a few more years Zach and you can help too! Ben helped Gary mix the meatballs......
.......and he even helped roll them too! We picked up some yum yum cupcakes made at Karsh's Bakery! Birthday cupcakes to celebrate Zach and Pete's birthday!
Living the good life at Uncle Pete and Uncle Gary's house!

Beautiful clouds.........open road..........


We pulled off the freeway on route 66 in northern Arizona to get some gas and stretch our legs. Ben yelled out the window and pointed....."It's Doc from the CARS movie!" We had to stop and get a picture with the Hudson Hornet from CARS. ;) Proof we were on the route 66 in Arizona. Even though a Utah license plate hung behind me.......
