Ben's 1st birthday- July 12

Wow, I cant believe my little man is 1. He is 31 inches and 25 lbs. He is such a great boy. He has his moments. He is definitely my screamer. He is way more tempermental at this age than the other kids were. But he is also a fun kid. He is into everything now that he is 1- my cabinets, closing doors, locking himself in the bathroom. If you find trouble, you'll find Ben. He is such a good kid though. He goes to bed without a struggle every night and sleeps in for me. He eats his food usually all gone. He tries to clean up his toys already. He's just such a joy. I love you Benihana.

We also made some really good new friends here that we hope to see a lot more. They are the Wedig Family: Ryan, Mary-Anne, Alice, Grace and Rockwell. They were house sitting for their cousin and we got to meet them for the short time they were here. But then we were happy to know they were moving 40 mins north of us. The good thing about that is that we usually are in that city on the weekends for shopping. Sometimes I even go up there during the week to go to target (yes that is the nearest target and chickfila!!). So we should hopefully be seeing them way more now. They are such a sweet family and have the cutest kids. We really enjoy their company. IT is always so hard to make such good friends and they are just a blessing to know.
