Okay so they had another great day on the water, today they went offshore and Lil'Ben caught the biggest red snapper, some king mackerel and other finned friends! I don't think they are going to come home...they are just having too much fun! They have plans for a big cook out tomorrow with all the great captains and crews that have taken them out - they are having fish!
On the home front Shaun ate a rock today - not sure what I'm supposed to do about that I guess just wait for it on the other end! Needless to say Shaun is Shaun! We had a great time at the Circus with the Boyds! Tomorrow more fun but hopefully no more rocks!
Love to all

FISHING UPDATE
Okay so Mom is VERY jealous!!! I just heard from the Lil'Ben he is having an awesome time. His dad and he got there yesterday afternoon and have been to the beach and are staying in a beautiful condo. There first fishing expedition was this morning and they called a little while ago to tell me Lil'Ben caught a sailfish - it broke the hook before it made it into the boat but I am hopeful someone got great pictures. Lil'Ben (and Big Ben) are on cloud 9 this is definitely there type of adventure ---THANK YOU The Way Outfitters! They also caught alot of fish that actually made it into the boat!
I'll keep posting as I hear more, they were planning on building sandcastles and going boogie boarding this afternoon! Pictures as soon as I get them - I promise.
Shaun and I are having fun - not quite as much fun but we had dinner and Slurpee's with friends last night and tomorrow we are going to the circus with the Boyd girls (his cousins). Please say a few extra prayers for Ben and Shaun's cousin Caroline, she fell / jumped off the swing set last night and broke her leg! A 1 1/2 year old in a full leg cast during the summer should be lots of fun! So we are going to go check on her tonight and maybe kidnap a sister or two to give her mom and dad a break!
Thats all for now - we'll keep the fishing stories coming!
Love always

T-Ball Season Closer!
A few more pictures from Colorado....
Aunt MegO and the boys on the train at the park!
Now thats how to play Connect Four!!
The Last T-Ball Game.....
Ms Jessica showing the kids how to play left field!
GO PIRATES!!!!! We love you Coach Jessica!
Hey everybody -
Today was the last T-ball game (till next season of course). The kids had a blast this year. A big thank you to Ms Jessica & Ms Michelle for being such great teachers and coaches!!! We love you!
Ben had a great week. Camp was fun - he had a super short clinic appointment (45 minutes) it figures the one clinic appointment Dad does instead of Mom and they are out in 45 minutes!!! Ben and Dad are looking forward to next weekend. They are going on an awesome 4 day fishing trip out of Panama City Florida with an organization call The Way Outfitters - its a charitable organization that grants fishing and outdoor wishes for sick kids, and disabled vets - a truly amazing organization, and right up my boys alley they LOVE fishing together. The trip is going to be awesome and the Big boys are super excited. Shaun and Mom will do something fun - not sure what yet, I tried to convince Shaun he would like a spa day but I don't think he went for it - so it will probably be the circus!
We want to wish all the Dads out there a FABULOUS fathers day. My boys are so lucky to have such a great dad that loves doing fun stuff with them, and to also to have two amazing grandfathers that they love more than anything. SO HAPPY FATHERS DAY Daddy, Pops, and Grandpa (papa).
Love Always

Colorado Fun!
Hanging out at Uncle Mikey's Bike Polo Tournament!! Lots of crazy fun!
Playing washers in Aunt Mego's backyard
Hiking by the Pouder River - yeah no one fell in!
We have had a great trip visiting Aunt Mego and Uncle Mikey. We are leaving this afternoon, but have had a great time. Here are a couple cute pictures, more to come in the next few days. We spent a lot of time outside - the weather was fabulous! We played several games of Giant connect four ( pictures to follow in a few days). We went hiking, and took Elvis dog for lots of walks. We met up with mommy's friend from college and her family. But most of all we just relaxed and had fun with Mego and Mikey! Off to the airport!
Love you all Lil'Ben

Busy having Summer FUN!!!
Hello All
Sorry I just realised its been two weeks since I have posted! The days are flying by! Ben is having a great summer. He loves camp and T-ball. We have been having fun play dates with friends on the weekends. The boys and I are heading to Colorado to visit Aunt Mego and Uncle Mikey - and play a BIG game of connect four!
Work for Ben and I is busy as always. For those of you who haven't heard a dear friend of ours and local New Orleans Chef, Mat Murphy, Executive Chef at the Ritz Carlton is recovery for a significant illness. It came on quickly and it is truly a miracle Mat is doing as well as he is. I know I won't get all the info right so I will send you to his family's website to find out accurate information on his condition. The reason I mention him aside for a plea for prayers for his continued improvement is to tell you all about a fundraiser for him and his family. Mat is the proud father of Quadruplet girls (18 months old) - yes you read that right quads (thats 4!) and his wife is expecting #5!! Mat has been incredibly supportive of Lil'Ben and our family, he participated in the wine dinner held for Lil'Ben and he made and delivered 200 delicious cupcakes to Ben's fabulous 5th birthday party - yes the Executive Chef of the New Orleans Ritz Carlton delivered cupcakes! This is going to be a great event, Ben and his restaurant will be participating (of course) and I know the food will be fabulous. Info for the fundraiser is available on Mat's website as well! Mat Murphy's web site http://www.murphyquads.com
Ben has clinic tomorrow morning and then will be heading to camp to meet up with his friends. And guess what Shaun is almost potty trained! Yeah Shaun!!! Yeah Ms Melanie!! I'll go now the boys are swimming in the pool and I'm missing all the fun, and we can't have that!
Love ya
Erin

Mom's note - Mr Art is the Brighter Horizon's bus driver and he was sick today, I think he is just a little under the weather - but Ben misses him very much and wanted to leave him a special message today!
