Farmer's Market 2011

It's officially Spring which means it's time for the Benson Farmer's Market again! A proud Parsons family tradition, the Farmer's Market is where Grandpa and Uncle Jay get to sell their delicious tomatoes and peppers. Check out their vast variety of veggie goodness on their website along with upcoming market dates and prices. Our kids love sharing in the fun too as the photo obviously shows.

Happy Easter 2011!

Wow, it feels like I just posted last year's Easter post. Of course, I haven't posted much since then. Whoopsie. Anyway, we had another wonderful Easter this year celebrating the resurrection of our savior with family. We had Easter egg hunts, played down in Bellevue, and Jay and Leah came to visit. We are so thankful for our risen Lord and all he has done for this family! Here are a few photos from Kim and Ben dying the Easter eggs. It's their favorite Easter tradition, bar none!

These two love their egg dying!

Katy had to get in on the fun, too!

"Look what I did!"

Like mother, like son.

Now these are some cute kids

Somehow I never get tired of watching this video. We're so blessed that they love playing with one another. Check out Katy's face after a couple of spins...

Ben's new bike

Ben got an early Easter present this year in the form of his first real bike! He had been pedaling away on his trike for the last several years, which I should say he absolutely loved doing. Unfortunately, his little legs are getting longer and he had been having trouble with his knees hitting the handle bars. We thought Easter would be a perfect time to get him a new bike so he would have all summer to break it in. While it's a little intimidating because it sits so much higher than his tricycle and it wobbles a bit back and forth on the training wheels, Ben still loves getting up on it by himself and doing a little cruising. If there is one thing this boy loves, it's feeling like a big boy. We're both looking forward to long bike rides with our kids in the future, so this was a happy day for all of us.

Up on his new bike for the first time!

One proud papa!
