The Benich Family: They Make Me Laugh

Well, I've found if I go too long between blogs (too long meaning more than one day!), I can't ever choose what story or event to blog about! One thing is for sure...my kids keep getting funnier by the day! For all you parents out there, those of you with older kids can probably agree that each "phase" just gets better than the last! For those of you with younger kids...all I can say is if you think they're brilliant and funny now...just wait until next year when they'll blow you away again!
Brock's current kick is Superman and Star Wars. As a mom who had no older brothers growing up, it's very eye-opening and entertaining! I'm learning more about super heroes than I ever knew possible. I am also being enlightened into a whole new childhood through the eyes of a boy. QUITE different from the girl perspective! I've said this many times, but I feel SO blessed to have both a boy and a girl. Aubree is only nearing 6 months old, but they are already so different. It's so much fun to experience the super hero fantasies through little boys and know I have the ballerina princess fairy tales coming with my baby girl.

Here is just a sampling of the fun we've been having lately:

Some people use this as a baby activity mat...apparently, we use it as the living room centerpiece! I don't know who is having the most fun here...the kids or the dog!

Brock and Elise swing at the park. I think both of their faces are hilarious!

I'm cleaning my room...glance over, and Brock...um, I'm sorry, Spiderman, is walking over to me with Q-tips hanging out of his ears and he's singing his own Valentine's Day Song. WHERE does he come up with this stuff??
