Lawn Mowing

Benjamin followed his dad the entire time while mowing the lawn yesterday. We're hoping he'll still enjoy doing it when he's promoted to the big lawn mower.

Ka-Chow!!!

Look who's a fan of Lightning McQueen. Ka-chow!!! Mike missed Benjamin so much while we were gone on our little trip that he got a fun toy car for Benjamin. Ya...we're spoiling him, but we're having fun doing it! Here's his first ride.

Nonna's Visit

Mom rode back with me from Holbrook to Utah to keep us company on the drive home. We had a fun visit having her with us. We took her to the gardens at Thanksgiving Point. We were lucky to have a nice cool morning on the day of our visit.

We did some shopping for Argentine goods. One of the items we found were alfajores. Benjamin liked the meringue coated ones so much he licked the wrapper.

Nonna loved spoiling Benjamin as much as he loved being spoiled. He looks adorable in the had Nonna got him.

 

Holbrook Trip

The first weekend of July Benjamin and I followed my brother to Arizona for our Grandmother's funeral. For Benjamin, it was a fun trip seeing lots of cousins. On the way, my brother got a flat and while he changed the tire all the kids climbed into my car. We were stuffed but safer that way. 

We also had the opportunity to stop by the grave site of one of our ancestors, Levi Savage, Jr.

One of Benjamin's favorite things to do was look at all the cars parked at the Wigwam Motel. Abuelo helped him climb in so he could take the wheel.

 He also loved watching the trains go by from the back window in Abuelo and Nonna's hotel room.

 Our last day, we had dinner with family and Benjamin enjoyed climbing onto his cousin's dirt bike. I think Benjamin will be very happy to go back someday.
