Benjamin's HomeONE!!

Benjamin is one!  Wow!!  Though I cannot believe he is already one, I also cannot believe he has only been in our lives for a year!  Benjamin, you give my life purpose and I love you more than I can ever express. Happy Birthday!

Our baseball themed, "Benjamin's HomeONE", first birthday party was a success.  Thank you to everyone who helped out.  Thank you to everyone who came to help celebrate.  Thank you for your generosity - Ben sure is a spoiled boy!  And thank you, Benjamin, for being in our lives! 

Here is a picture recap (I realize now that I really don't have too many pictures, so if any of you have any great ones you want to share, I'd love to have them!)...

The decorating begins...

While the boys sit and enjoy the day!  (and yes, it is 10:00 am and Jonnie
is drinking a beer...)

2 of my favorite people.  Thank you so much for coming out, Uncle J!!

 

I'm proud of my Oreo pops!

It's birthday time!  Welcome to B's party!

The Concession Stand

Mommy finally got the Benjamin Wall done -
Ben's first year in pictures...and he sure does
love himself!

The cake.  And no, that is not cheese for the bases...it's chocolate...ha!

Ben's own cake!

B kicks the dogs off their bed all the time...who knew
we needed to get an extra bed for him!

Cake time!!



Thinking about it.....

Calling his shot!  And the cleanest 1st birthday boy ever!!  He
had NO interest in getting messy!

True baseball style!



So, so glad that Grandma Marilyn could make it out!!  You look fantastic!!

Happy Birthday Benjamin!!  (And a view of "Lake Dobson"...ha!)

Finally using our firepit!

Family!!



One spoiled boy!  Thank you all, again, for everything!



Tired boy!! Where better to cuddle?  Benjamin loves his Abbey!

This is the day after, but I just love this photo!

As Spring Break draws to a close, I wanted to use some of that time to 'batch cook' for Benjamin.  It takes a lot of time, but he now has food for a month!

The prep



Baby food for a month!
