Days of 47 Parade

The Days of 47 Parade was Benjamin's first parade ever.

I went with my sister,Rachael and her baby Charity,my Brothers, chris and Daniel and Daniel's friend Jake. Benjamin loved the Police motorcycles, The horses and one float had Bubbles!!!

He also loved it when the Jazz Bear and Ronald Mcdonald plastered us and everthing on the side walk with Confetti!!!

The only thing not fun was the blistering heat. Luckly we had fans with the attached spray bottles and plenty of water.

First Hair cut!!!

Surprise, we found our camera! If you want a funny story of where we found it, call us. (It could take a little while to explain.) Anyways Ben got his First Hair Cut! His hair was growing into his eyes, over his ears and curling in the back. Here is the before and after looks...


If you havn't noticed in the second picture his eyes are kinda red from crying the whole hair cut long. The place we went; Cookie Cutters, were really good they had cars and planes for the kids to sit in and they got to watch a movies while they got it done but sadly Ben still didn't like it.

Sorry No Pictures

Ok I will admit that it's been a while. My explination is this.... I lost the Camera
all the cute pictures and now I am missing new pictures to take. So Sorry I will update this soon I will either find that darn camera or just buy a new one. In the meanwhile here is the scoop on us...

We are Pregnant Due Feb. 15th! Sorry we announced it so weird at the time that test is all we knew so we wanted to make sure from a doc before we offically announced.

Also Benjamin is close to walking, he stands to furnature and manovers very quickly! Soon he'll be too quick for me!!

Last but not least the corolla is dead as Caleb claimed, it remains in front of our house until the kidney foundation cames to take it a way. And we got a new car, A 2006 Chevy Aveo, it's Dark Grey and I love it..For two Reasons... It's new and it's not falling apart like the corolla was.

Thats all from us and I promise you'll have and more and pictures soon!

Fun in the Sun

It was so Much fun this Summer so Far!!

We Got Benjamin these cool Shades! For $1.00 at Maceys

We had Daniel and his Friend spend the night and swim with us!

And we've had a lot of chances to swim in our little pool

plus with some of Ben's friends from the neighborhood!!!

Gradutation

Benjamin went and watched his Uncle Chris Graduate from High school. It was alot of fun the best part for him was wearing of the hat!!!

Happy Birthday Mommy!!

It was a birthday this last weekend. It was fun, but I think it was funnier for Benjamin to play with the Wrapping paper, Balloons and trying to grap the candles!!!

Happy Mother's Day late!!!

I know it's late but I just got busy and forgot to post more pictures. This one is Mother's Day with Ben infront of my new Flower Garden Matt and Ben gave me. It was a challenge to get Benjamin not to try to attach my flowers or play in and eat the dirt.

I love Golden Corral

Ben sent off his Uncle Doug on his mission to Hamburg Germany. They treated us to Golden Corral for lunch before the MTC! Ben had fun he ate some strawberries, jello and mashed potatos! His First meal of table foods!

Teddy Bear Picnic

We had a picnic in our backyard (square patch of grass) the other day! It was alot of Fun. I fed him His baby food and I ate a sandwich and grapes. The funnest part was when he was playing with the plate with my food on it... ( sorry no pictures of that)

Close to Crawling

It is always fun to see the all the milestones babies go through.

Ben is now working on Crawling. He can get onto his knees and even move his feet and hands but he doesn't quite move forward yet.
We are excited to see him crawl; but as every parent says

"once they're mobile, they are 10 times more work."

Hoppy EASTER!

Ben wants to wish everyone a very

Happy Easter!

This picture was taken Easter morning,

in his new Easter outfit,

as he was recieving his basket

from the Easter bunny.

A Day at the Park

We love to go to the park!

Ben and I try to go as often as weather permits.

It's a nice little stroller ride

Ben love the baby swing!

On good days he even loves to slide!

Just call me Moe!

When I gave Ben a Bath I spiked his hair into a little moe-hawk.

His hair is getting so long that it's almost time to trim his hair.

His hair is starting to grow over his ears.

Chuga Chuga Choo Choo

For Christmas we got Ben this little Train. You put the little Peek-a-boo blocks on the train and it lights up and spins the the inner of the block. Also when you push down the green smoke stack the train moves forward. Anyways, He's finally able to play with it, now that he can sit up all on his own.

Exersaucer

We bought an exersuacer for Ben the other day. We played in another one at a neighbors house and he loved it so we got him one of his own. As you can tell he loves his own. The best part is that it is strengthening his legs and he is already walking with help. Mostly he wabbles but It's fun for us to walk him around the house.

Happy GREEN Day!

We just wanted to wish you all a very happy St. Patricks Day. We had a blast, our ward had a Spoons competition and ice cream party with green playing cards and Mint Ice Cream. I hope you all had a good day!

Splish Splash

Ben loves Bathtime, He loves to splash and kick his little feet under the running water. And now that Ben has this cute little Rubber Duckie Bath Robe and Slippers I can't help but to pose him and take his picture! Bathtime is fun for both of us!!!

Watch Me Roll Over

One....

Two...

Three...
Ta Da I did it!!!

Ben has been rolling over for about a month now but I could never get him to do it on demand. He is so comfortable rolling over that he goes both ways. Front to back and back to front!

Sitting up

We have been working hard with ben to get him to sit up all on his own. He almost always falls over after a couple seconds... Well good news today he sat up all on his own for longer than a few secs. Try almost a full min!!!!

Hello I am Adorable

Benjamin has now moved into size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothes!!! He is only 5 months and a week. It is absolutely amazing how fast kids grow!!!

i-baby

Ben was being a little fussy and I put the ear peice in his ear on low with Tarzan on it. Instantly he calmed down and was starting to coo and smile. It was cute he should be the poster kid for Apple. Not just for adults and teens.. Babies love them too!!!

Two are better than one

Benjamin decided that one binkie was not enough. He was just playing on the floor and I looked over and saw that he had 2 binkies!!!

Cereal Time

Ben was able to taste Rice Cereal for the first time. He's still trying to figure out his tongue. When nursing the tongue goes to the front of the mouth, But when eating food the tongue needs to go towards the back. I think we got more food on his bib and face then we did in his mouth!

First Pair of Shoes

For Christmas Benjamin got a pair of really cute tennis shoes. His feet are starting to grow and now he can wear them, without them falling off. They are a little big with plenty of growing room but they are so cute!

Santa Clause is coming to town

I was really Jeolous of festus and Jovin with their pictures with Santa so I got Benjamin one, at the south town mall. I can't believe how commercialized Christmas has begun. $13.95 for one 8x10 and 4 wallets with santa. I just used my own camera, they only allow 2 shots, Which sadly both turned out bright. Just shows that santa isn't all he cracks up to be.

The true meaning of Christmas is RECIEVING...

The True meaning of Christmas is always discussed year after year. Parents trying to convince their children that giving is more important than recieveing. I too believed this... Until a Christmas Speaker taught that the most important was Recieving. The Most important gift ever given to us on Christmas was the savior. That Christmas is the season for recieving Chirst in our lives and in our hearts. I know we had alot of fun this year, it being Benjamin's first Christmas but inwardly it was nice to celebrate the savior.
I also had the chance to reflect on one of the best gifts ever given to us, Benjamin! What a blessing to have him in our lives! I hope you all had a wonderful chirstmas and a happy new year!!!

T-I-G-G-E-R

"T-I-double Ger-er" That spells Tigger. I know we've shown you alot of stuffed animals but their Benjamins favorite toys. Plus it's super cute when the stuffed animals are the same size as Ben!!

"Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow"

This is Benjamin in his cute little coat. My sister says it looks like that little kid on the Christmas story. He hates the fact that he can't bend his hands to suck on them. But it keeps him warm and it's cute!!!

A is for APPLE

Ben already loves computers. He loves to sit on his daddy's lap while he works and plays WOW. The computer is daddy-Benjamin time!!

Christmas time is here!!!

Merry Christmas!

Ben Loves Chrismas already!

Grandma Jaffa gave Ben this cute little snow man .

He loves to cuddle it!

Decorations are put up, Presents bought,

Piglet

Ben has a new freind. He will go from crying to being happy by just holding Piglet. It's the cutest thing. He'll hug and and try to eat it. He's even fallen asleep with it!!

TOYS

He can now look at the toy and hold it!

We can't wait for chrismas when he can play with his new toys!
