Those CRAZY Beemans

For some reason we have been taking a lot more "CRAZY" pictures recently...here are some from Thanksgiving and our trip down to T.O. to see Bebo and Grandpa

AHHHH Who knew??
I always thought there was some monkey in him
Nice family portrait
Game Face

Mommy...you don't look so good
Hey, would you like a rib?

Watch out, we are coming for you!

Swanky in the City

Last month I had a girls weekend with my friend Jessica and Toni. We went shopping, ate, drank and saw Ben Harper in Concert...lots of FUN!

Toni, Jessica and I
Say "Cheese"!
Having a cocktail

SOOO, you know what happens when you can't sleep and surf the net??? Yes, I found this site that shows what celebrities you look most like....it all depends on the picture that you upload. As you can see the first one didn't go so well....I mean REALLY...Greg from the Brady Bunch...and the Queen Mum (or at least I think that is her)...Obama??? The second picture scored A LOT better with some actual women included!! Oh well, I guess I now know that my celebrity twin is Emma Thompson since she turned up on both of them...not exactly who I thought I looked like, but it could be worse, you could have someone come up to you at a wedding and tell you that you look like a young Hillary Clinton (YES, someone said that to me and it still burns me to this day-can you tell??? I tell myself that she was drunk...but that is only to make myself feel better!!)

If you can't sleep or have oodles of time to waste like I seem to (I've become quite the procrastinator) you can do it at www.myheritage.com

Not my proudest moment

This is a beauty! SO, Ben had this homework page last week where you have to make up 12 words using the chuck "it"...guess what the first one he came up with was....

NICE...I swear Chris better clean up his potty mouth around those boys!! Just kidding...I've been known to say it from time to time!!

Halloween

Another great Halloween had by all! This year we stepped out of our safety zone (StarWars and Bioncle) for costumes. Jack wanted to be Link from "The Legend of Zelda" video game...of course it is something that is not manufactured so I had to make it...not very good up close but far away wasn't so bad. If you are a boy, you know exactly who he was...if you were an adult the majority thought he was Robin Hood or Peter Pan-which didn't go over very well! Ben was a camouflage ninja...so we coudn't see him most of the night-haha!

Happy HOWLoween

The puppies are no longer puppies, they are now adolescents. They turned a year old on October 23rd. We got them a few extra treats for that day...plus we bought them these great t-shirts that they LOVED wearing...yeah right! But don't they look cute??

Ben's photo session

Ben cracks me up in ways that I cannot even begin to describe. I often get in trouble from Chris because I laugh at him at times when I am suppose to be the responsible parent. One night last month, I was trying to take some pictures of him because he lost his second tooth...and it turned into our own little vogue shoot....I will warn you now...there are a lot of them...and you may not find them as funny as I do!!

Cute Ben
Thumbs Up Ben

Swimming with dogs

We got some new neighbors on our street over the summer-yeah!! And guess what, they have a chocolate lab named Mocha...so now our little street has labs in all colors. The three of them made friends fast...they even had a little swim party one night....

Keep away from Max and Champ
The Lab Trio
COOL
Marco...polo

Soccer World

This year I remembered to take my camera to the games! Chris coached Jack's team again, they moved up to U10-bigger fields-bigger kids-bigger competition...with one game to go they are about even with wins and losses. There are some great kids on the team along with some really nice families.

Coach Chris and Jack

Jack the GREAT defender

Eye on the ball

Action Shot

OOOHHHH that ball is hard!

As for Ben, we have found his passion...NOT! He loves his team...but loves to visit more than play. He actually is quite good...when he is paying attention!! He even scored a goal-woohoo!

His team was undefeated, thanks to some incredible teammates...and of course the coaching (Chris assisted on this team too!)

On the move

Run Ben Run

Do I have to run anymore?
I am NOT happy Mommy!
