Rewind

This summer has just gone too fast. I haven't had the time to blog about what we've been up to! Since we flew to Utah on Benny's birthday, I never had a chance to post pictures of his birthday. So, I'm hitting rewind and catching up.



Benny of course, had a baseball themed party! We had a little party for him a few days early so Bryan could celebrate with us before our trip to Utah. I think his 'mit' was the easiest cake I've ever made. I like boy cakes!




Bennett loved opening presents and had lots of help from his big sisters. He got some new cars with a mat to drive them around on. It was a big hit. He also got a baseball movie about the greatest players in history (yes, he sat and watched it all) and he got some baseball cards.
He loved blowing out his birthday candles and kept saying all day, "Happy birfday to Bennett!"



He had another party the day we got to Utah with my family. He loved having all that attention! He got a new Tow Mater and Lightning McQueen pillowcase, some jammies, a new hat- that he hasn't taken off since, and a Buzz Lightyear toy. He loved all of those things!! I think he was in little boy heaven.
And what's a party without some more cake?! Heaven I tell you.



Despite getting in a car wreck the night before (notice his seat belt burn on his neck in the picture above) and spending most of his day on an airplane, Bennett had a great birthday! I'm glad he got to spend his birthday with grandparents, aunts, and uncles. That doesn't happen for us very often any more. Bennett is such a sweet kid and we love him so much. I think he needs to stop growing, like now!

The Party

Bennett's birthday was fun! Bryan was on call on his actual birthday, the 20th, but we made the most of it. We joined Bryan at the hospital for dinner and then we had a small party the next day. Bennett had a lot of help from his sisters so I don't think he opened one of his presents! He didn't really want to anyway. He got a firetruck with blocks to put inside, a CAT bulldozer, some wooden blocks that I made him (he's been playing with them for a few months now!), a bear from Build-a-Bear because he LOVES stuffed animals, and some clothes.

He loves his bulldozer. It makes sounds so he likes to push the buttons on it and push it around.




He was trying to get Daddy while his trucks were being opened. I love his face in this picture. He is always sticking his tongue out.


Here's his bear, his name is Bambino. Bennett loves to cuddle him.



We try to build a tower, but before we can get one made Bennett knocks it down and giggles. He loves to crash our towers.



We made cupcakes and Bennett really went to town on his. He was so funny to watch.




He couldn't get it in his mouth fast enough! He liked having all the attention.




He was nice enough to try and share with Chloe. What a mess!




Yummmm!









I think he enjoyed his 'mini' party. We are planning on doing a bigger party when my family comes next week to visit. I'm sure he'll be excited to eat more cake! Happy Birthday Bennett!! Are you really one year old?!
