Benjamin's first birthday!

Ben eating lunch before his party. I was on Benji patrol before the party so that they could set everything up.

This is what happens when you take a baby's cake away from him.

Just getting started, I told Nicole she was crazy getting a cake with such bright frosting.

Benjamin loving every minute of it. He had a little bit of cake at his cousin Julian's birthday, this was more fun though.

Mommy, daddy and baby. I can't believe how big he has gotten.

Mom said he was just a little messy. We had to strip his diaper off because he had frosting falling from it.

How many people does it take to give a baby a bath? I guess three, Mommy, Daddy and uncle Julian.

That doesn't look like too much fun. I think he is feeling the side effects of all the sugar. Right after he got done with his bath he started to fall asleep.

Ben's friend Cameron. Cameron's mommy Sunny works with me at Albertsons.

Julian riding the exercise bike to work off the calories of the cake he has all over his lips. He had to have some of Ben's cake. He wanted the blue frosting.

Sierra playing war with her cousin Shane, uncle Eric and uncle Jacob.

Shane beating his cousin Sierra at War. That is not his normal smile, it is actually really funny.

Benjamin really feeling the effects of the cake now. He is so tired. We think some of the frosting got in his eye because it was really red.

Abbie enjoying the balloons. She is in my nursery class now. It is so much fun.

Ben's friend Nic, playing pin the tail on the donkey.

Nicole reading the card she got for Ben. She had to stop because she started crying.

Next year I am just going to get Ben a bag of wrinkled up wrapping paper.

Nurse Molly and Ben's friends Nicole and Bennett fro the NICU.

Ben and his brick he got from nurse Molly for his birthday.
