Almost Turning Two.

I cannot believe how fast this child is growing.  In a little less than a month this little man with be turning the BIG 2. That being said, you know those terrible twos they always talk about? Well it is REAL! terrible terrible terrible twos.  Despite his destructive ways, I still love my baby to death. 

Now If you call my house, It will most likely be answered by Benji. He will answer with a "Hola", and when you ask him how he is, he will say "mmm... bien".  He then will jibber jabber with you, mention mama, dada & coco (which apparently means cartoons).  You will hear how he loves "nanas" (bananas), and how his best friend is "ilah" (Tahilah).  Once you are done speaking with this little dude, he will say bye and hang up.  You may not get a chance to say goodbye yourself, but you have the satisfaction of knowing that he didn't just hang up on you. lol. 

 Benjamin is talking alot these days.  I don't understand everything he says but he's getting there.  His most surprising trait is that he is very good with electronics.  He knows how to use the ipad better than any adult you know.  Kids these days.  So Tech Savy.

The best thing about this little man of God, is that he is a man of Faith.  He prays, sings, and worships God.  When he sees me praying, he will come and pray beside me.  He even puts his little hand on my head, and says "CHECHU", which means Jesus said in spanish.  I'm telling you this child has a greater calling in his life.  The only thing as a mother that I can do is teach him to Love God, and pray that he will have a personal experience with him.   

Story of Epicness

It Goes like this... 

A couple of weeks ago we headed to my favorite beach in Canada, Pinery Provincial Park.  It's so beautiful and serene. We had a great time there swimming, eating, chatting and relaxing.  When the day was over, it was time to pack up and leave.  We starting turning off the barbecues, and loading stuff in the car.  Some "smart" guy that was not with us, decided that he was going to throw his hot charcoal in the grass. So, as I was taking some photos, my sister pointed out that the grass was catching on fire. In like two sec it was a big flame, It was spreading so fast.  A Couple of guys from my church ran towards the fire. I looked around to see if there was a way to get water there, and there wasn't.  So I ran to my cooler and grabbed all the water bottles I could fit in my arms, and handed some to my sisters.  When I headed toward the fire, Two guys were taking control of the fire, One of them with a towel, and another one had taken his shirt off.  finally they were able to control it, and finally turn off the flame, but as they were walking away the fire started again. So they quickly ran back, and  again, they were able to turn off the flame, but the charcoal was rellly hot and the fire wanted to start again.  We emptied all the water bottles on it, and threw some sand on top and made sure that it was completely off.

....and that is how we saved my favorite beach.

Ru&Ben

Clever eh?

I've noticed, as of recently, that Benjamin has been really enjoying his time with Ruben. I really don't know if I'm more surprised that Benny actually plays with his dad or the Ruben is very patient with Ben. Benny is quite mischevious with his pops.  I mean just look at some of things he does to him..

He's a very aggressive baby.  He's too cute though. Can I blame Ruben? who can resist! 

Now Crawling.

Benjamin has been getting in crawl position for about a month now.  Monday was the day he decided to officially start crawling.  Of course, his mission was to destroy a magazine I had on a low shelf, or anything he could get his hands on, for that matter.   He's just growing up so fast, and now he's a step closer to walking.  I know that when kids start walking, they don't want to be carried anymore.  As much as I've enjoyed and savored every moment, it's just happening so fast.  It feels like I'm going to wake up one day, and he's going to be a teenager.  *sigh, Don't do it Benny!

In His Better Days.

Benny is not feeling good at all, and it breaks my heart to see him that way. I've already assured him that he will be better in no time, and I think he believes me. He's such a sweetheart; he still smiles at me even though you can see it in his face. I loveth him. :)

Anyways.. This is not a sad post! It's a happy one. Howdy little cowboy!!

Happy weekend :)

  

P.s.. Other Grandpappy is finally going to meet his grandson.

It was wonderful.

This past Saturday we had a ladies brunch that I hosted. It was wonderful. I had a great time. We ate, chatted, gave our testimonies, and in the end the younger ladies played ping-pongs while the older ladies chatted. The was much laughter coming from the ping-pong area. I'm so grateful for all these lovely ladies.

Without further ado....pictures. Yay! (is that  how you say it?)

Personal Testimony:
Recently I had been feeling a bit blue.  I was feeling like I wasn't giving anything to the ministry. Mainly because I was on mommy duty.  I always said I wanted to be an active ministers wife. It was upsetting me.. that i was just kind of the sidelines.. so I prayed about it, and then gave me the idea to do a ladies breakfast.. and I did.  And guess what? We had a visitor who requested a Bible study, and even went to service that night.  It's amazing how God works.
