Ben rides with the big boys.

Well we got Ben the motorcycle when I found out that I was going to have a baby. The baby needed a motorcycle when brother and dad both have one. We got the first two pictures taken when Ben was 11 months old. Then Ashlyn took his pictures at Hendricks park for me a couple of weeks ago. I went to the harley store and got him the hat, diaper cover, and tattoo's. He looked so Cute. I love him so much. He is such a blessing. Ben on his motorcycle at 11moths old.

I think this picture is cute.

Look at his tattoo. It was on for 1 week and still looked great.

Before and After

It is amazing how time flies. I remember when he was born at 11 weeks premature and only

3lbs 3oz. Now at 18 months old he is 28lbs and growing. He is a great child that I love so much. I hope that someday I will have another child that is just as good as Ben has been to us. He is the joy of my life. I look forward to seeing him grow through the years. July of 2008, Ben is 18 months old
July of 2007, Ben is 6 months old

Family Reunion Sunday

Sunday was the last day of the family reunion. We had breakfast at Mom and Dad's clubhouse. After the kids took naps we went to play Minature golf. It was alot of fun for everyone that came to have fun with the family. I always enjoy spending time with our family. We all need to cherish the time you have to spend with your family.

On Saturday afternoon we went to Fall Creek. Eric and Andrea bought a boat this year and they wanted to take everyone tubing or on a boat ride. It was alot of fun hanging out with everyone that could make it. Almost everyone came that was at the Friday Night event except Joseph, Brayden, and Ethian. The only person that I missed taking a picture of was Jessica I think that she was on the boat most of the time and I was on Shore with the kids.Chris with Alia and her mohawk

Family Reunion Friday Night

On Friday Night we met at Mom's and Dad's Clubhouse at their house. We had pizza and played with the kids. The families that were able to come were Schwake's, McCluskey's, Moores, Warren's(Terry and Chris's family), Watts, and the Webbs. Benjamin locked himself in a wine holder, and thought it was funny. He got mad when he was hurt his fingers in the door.

A whole Banana for Ben

Mommy's little Monkey eating his first whole BananaYour mouth is full

Silly Little Monkey

He loves it

I'm taking a Big Bite.

Ben was really excited the other day when I gave him a whole banana instead of cutting it up for him. I am really enjoying spending more time with him during the day. I work at night now so I don't miss out on the day to day life with him. We also save alot of money in childcare.

Going to the Coast

We took a family trip to the coast. It is alot of fun when your family starts to get biggger. Corey brought along his girlfriend Ashlyn. More pictures to come when I get them from Ashlyn's camera. We all had a really good time, and can 't wait until our next trip. One the way to the coast he wanted fruit snacks, and when he was done with them he was starting to eat the package.
Ben's first time with salt water taffy from Old Town. He really liked it.

Going to the Beach, he loves that Car.
