3rd Birthday After-Party!!!

Since we are sooooo grown-up now, we have just been doing odds -n- ends, honestly, just trying to make it until summer. I will keep this short. I know everyone would rather look at pictures than me rambling on.. LOL
Trying out his New Monster Jam Carrying Case:

Making a Wish in the Wishing Fountain:

All Ready to Go on a Bike Ride(we didn't make it past our house):

FINALLY, OUR NEW ADDITION TO THE BENTE FAMILY:

He is a 3 year old boxer male, we visited the SPCA this past Sunday and we had almost given up and we decided to look one more time & this little treasure had just been brought in, he was meant for our family. Perfect age, perfect size, perfect temperament, previous owners just did not have enough time, had grown up around kids & house-trained to top it all off!!! Plus his name is Outlaw (which is one of Henry's favorite monster truck's name)!!!!! We could not ask for more! So far so good, he is great with Henry is my Shadow & REALLY is House-trained!!!

That is the 3rd Birthday after party!!! ;0) Hope everyone is enjoying the gorgeous weather and we will update soon!!!!

HENRY'S 3rd BIRTHDAY!!

I cannot believe our little guy is 3. He is so full of energy and has a spectacular personality, even though sometimes it gets him into trouble, he is a blast to be around and he makes us very proud. Henry had about 3 days of birthday fun. It started on Friday when he had a party at daycare with his friends. Friday was actually Henry's sitter's (Stephanie) birthday as well. We had a dual party Friday. Saturday was Henry's birthday party, what a success & sooooo much fun. Much thanks goes out to both our parents for helping where they could to bring everything together to make Henry's 3rd birthday party run smoothly and I do believe everyone had a great time. I love having everyone out at our place enjoying themselves. It is nice for family & friends to get together and just enjoy themselves. Thank you to everyone who came to be part of such a special memory for us. Today, was Henry's actual birthday. We ate breakfast with John's parents and then took him shopping with some of his birthday money; where he bought himself his 1st pair of converse shoes and a pack of trucks!! I will let the pictures do the rest, again we want to thank everyone who came out to be apart of our special guy's special day!!!
