Happy Birthday Benjamin

Our sweet Benjmain is 1! Its hard to believe how fast the past year has gone by. Benjamin is starting to take steps and figuring out what foods he likes (he likes to feed himself, and if you want to feed him, I have to be taking food off my plate in order for him to let me put anything in his mouth-- I guess he figured out that food I eat was going to be more tasty than food I tried to just feed him.) Grandma Brown gave Benjamin a wind up Monster truck type toy that he just latched right onto and loved-- so great thinking, Mom! Its always so hard to find a present for a one year old!
We had a fun barbeque with most of the family and a few friends-- we love the spring time and we were glad we got great weather for the evening!Benjamin's cake was mostly held together with frosting but he seemed to enjoy it, he used it as a drum set at one point. He actually was eating it fairly well until he decided to turn around and smear in on the chair, and then, as is tradition, Brandon made sure he had a "good showing" and put cake in his face.

We love this sweet boy! What a joy to have in our life and in our family! He and Quincy and Eleanor all keep us on our toes, but that is what helps make life enjoyable and exciting! Thanks for all those who came to share the evening with us and celebrate!
