Two times around the sun...

Ben-ju-mun!
(noun): A completely adorable little boy. Happy, handsome, energetic, affectionate & fun. 
(syn): Thumper, Sparky. 



The Sunday before last we celebrated Benjamin's 2nd Birthday! We are so grateful to have him in our family! He is such a happy little man and brings joy with him where-ere he goes. He bounces around the house with a permeating grin that gets him just about anything he desires. The nicknames I come up with for my boys seem to evolve over the years. Sparky & Thumper are the most current for Ben. :) 

It was fun to have Dustin & Natalie here for his birthday. It was Sunday so we had a pretty low key day. Went to church, came home, ate dinner, opened presents and ate some yummy homemade birthday cake. 


Ben opening his presents. Thanks for the cool book Henry! 

A cool bowling set from brother. As you can see Warren was very kind to demonstrate. ;) We had a few visitors stop by which is always nice, especially on birthdays! Uncle Steve dropped in to wish Ben a Happy Birthday before he was off to evening church meetings. Then, later Robert, Kristin & Emily came along with Kevin & Angie visiting from Utah. :) It was fun to see everyone.


Ben loved his new big boy trike from mom & dad! 
He is growing so fast. Where does the time go?
We love you Ben!

Here is a little video of us singing happy birthday and opening presents. :) Rexy was a hit. Ben does the cutest growl & if you listen closely you can here him do it to Rexy. Sorry the picture isn't so great. I am not sure what happened. I am guessing a setting got changed on my camera without me realizing it. Enjoy!

No way. 2 years old AND blond. Looks like great fun. He is so handsome - and YOU! YOU look stunning in every photo. I LOVE your haircut, your earrings, your outfit.

I do plan on calling you. I am just taking tiny breaks on the computer in order to relieve my brain from all my prep for starting school on Monday. I will call when I have more time. I love you!! Hope things are still smooth with Natalie and Dustin there.

Wow. I just got my self esteem boost for the day. :D Thanks, I have been feeling like such a slump these days because during the week I have been workin like a dog on my kitchen so I NEVER get ready. Anyways, I didn't cut my hair but it is pulled back in these pics. I did take all the highlights out and go back to my natural color. :)

I look forward to your call Mrs. Anderson. :D Can't wait to here what ya'll been up to and we seriously do need to come see you and the bats soon. :)

Asher has that same bowling set and loves it. When he's not actually bowling with them he uses the pins as clubs to wack things with!
