I've been wanting to post something, but to be honest, we have been TOTALLY negligent in taking pictures lately. Chalk it up to good old fashioned forgetfulness. We even forgot to take a picture of the fam bam on Mother's day and on Easter. Grrrr. Let's just say both were awesome and got to enjoy time with the DeVries' fam for both holidays. Mike was the usual sweet husband that he is and made me a "mommy and Benson" book, with pictures of me and the babe over the past year. I LOVED it. Plus, he got me my daisy and chocolate that I love. It was a bag of dark chocolate truffles and they were gone by the end of the day. Don't worry, I shared. A little. I received breakfast in bed and a wonderful dinner made by Dad Devries, Mike and the kids (chicken piccata and tons of other delicious treats. YUM!) Plus, Mike gave me a nap in the car on the way home. He really did a good job this mother's day. I always used to think that when I was a mom on mother's day that I'd get to be able to reflect on how awesome I was as a mother (vain, I know) but I love mother's day because it really lets me realize how much I love Benson Dean and how awesome he is as a son. He's the best! And, because this post is really about pictures, here they are. I LOVE the picture of Mike and the Benz brushing their teeth together because Benson is looking up with such adoration at Mike. Mike gets that look a lot from Benz, and it makes me jealous. The other one is of our pre-easter celebration at my sister's house in Wisconsin. Please note the absolute terror on Benson's little face. And I can't remember what the last pic is of, so enjoy!

I need to really post about Easter, Mothers Day weekend and a few other things, but first, I wanted to tell you guys about a movie we saw recently that we loved. It was Thor. I'm not lying. I thought the ads looked ridiculous and I was seriously in doubt about how good this movie was, especially after Mike told me it was about a guy who was the God of Thunder whose power was in his sword. Say what? But, we ended up getting free tickets to the movie and a free babysitter so I was willing to watch a silly movie if it meant a date alone with the hottest man on the planet. TMI, I know. Anywho, the movie was really good. I was even believing by the end that all of this was real. The humor was done really well and I thought the acting was great. There was a LOT going on at once, only complaint. My biggest plug to the movie is that it is amazingly clean. Only one or two swear words and no sexual stuff. Really. That alone in my book gives it two thumbs up. So, go and see Thor! Or wait until it comes out to redbox, which we would have done if we hadn't of gotten free tickets...

DISCLAIMER: Mike and I LOVE superhero movies. We really do. Iron Man, Batman, Spiderman, Chronicles of Narnia, we love them all. This might have added to the reasons why we liked the movie so much. Keep that in mind if you really despise movies like this because you might not be too happy with me for this recommendation
