Yep, he's ONE!

This little guy turned ONE! I look at this picture and tears well up! I could have never known the joy he would bring to our family!
Oh, his expressions! The way he babbles away! I love it!
His smile melts my heart! He growls like a tiger too!

I am one lucky momma! Joshy, Joshewa, Josh, my buddy!
We are so glad you are part of our family! Happy Birthday!

Why I love him...

I love his imagination!
I love to see the things he builds....everyday!

I love to hear the stories behind what you build.
You have become such an artist over the last year. I love to see what you've drawn and also the look of accomplishment on your face!
I love how you play with your animals, make them stampede and preach the gospel to the elephant! Seriously, love it!
I love it when you are a cowboy, a knight in shining armor, a prince and the sweetest big brother and great friend. Your enthusiasm is contagious! You have an excitement about everything that we do!
Ben, I love your laugh and your smile! I love your sweet spirit and concern for others. You are a wonderful kid! Happy Birthday! I feel so blessed to be your mom!...seriously blessed!

Give me FIVE!

Well March 9th Benjamin had a birthday! He is now a whole hand! I can't believe 5 years have gone by! What a joy he is!
We had a birthday party for him on Saturday and he had so much fun!
The weather didn't do what we wanted but rain while playing baseball is always memorable!
Cousin Elizabeth came and helped with the little kids which helped out a lot. She's a doll!
Yes, I was there. I did not put on makeup because I was trying to make a better cake than the one I made on his actual birthday. Man, it was NOT pretty! No, I did not take a picture. :)


My favorite was watching all the kids eating up all the attention from Zach...especially Ben. He LOVES his dad!
Ben thought it was so cool he had a mitt cake. He said, "wow, thanks mom!" I love hearing that.
These kids had lots of fun wrestling, playing and laughing. Our first little friend party was a success! Phew!
We deleted the first half of our pictures from March which makes me want to have tears. I was scared to do anything else with these pictures until I had Zach look at the computer. There, I have explained why I didn't post on his birthday. The end.
