Happy Birthday Benton!

Today is my nephew's FIRST birthday!!!
Happy Birthday buddy!!


I love my little man so much! Although I was not present at his birth, I remember the day he was born very well. We were in Billings and Nat was in Missoula, but I waited by my phone for any updates in progress lol! Then around just before eleven o'clock at night, we got the first picture of him! He was so tiny but sooooooooooo handsome! I loved him the minute I saw him, and instantly wanted more photos of him. Heck, I wanted to walk right up to Missoula right away to hold him! It was truly love at first sight, just as it was with my own children. :) 


Then a few weeks after his birth, they came to town so that I could meet him. I was seriously on Cloud 9 that weekend, my beautiful little nephew had come down to meet my family! He was so small and sweet and perfect. Gah! I loved him so much then and I love him so much now! Mr. B has grown up so much since then! He is now racing Miss Anna in weight gaining lol! He may beat her out soon, she is a little Minnie. :P He is trying to walk, talks all the time and is still the sweetest little man ever! I have had the pleasure of babysitting him for my sister several times now, and I love when my trio is all together! Alan and Anna just adore him, and the feelings are mutual. He is fascinated with Alan and all the big kid things he does and loves how Anna's brings him anything he ever wants lol. They are the Three Amigos, the best cousins ever! :D Oh how I love their unbreakable bond at this young age!

Benton and I, then...

And now!!!

I cannot wait to see him again! They will all be coming to town on Friday, to celebrate Anna and Benton's birthdays this weekend! We held off on Anna's birthday party until this weekend so that Aunt Natalie and Uncle Jake could be present at her party. We will celebrate Benton's first at Chuck E. Cheese and then will make the trek to the little water park at Terry Park for Miss Anna's birthday party! I am so excited to actually get to be at Benton's first birthday party, Aunt Natalie and Uncle Jake have had to miss a lot of the kids' previous parties because of the distance, but I am blessed to have a sister who can travel! I love you Nan!

And now, I will leave you with some ADORABLE pictures of Benton playing with his birthday balloon. Love you so much snuffy! Happy first birthday Benton!!!!



Auntie loves you so much, little man. Happy birthday, hope it was everything you ever dreamed it would be. <3

Toddler Talk Thursdays!! April 5, 2012

Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you are all having as nice of weather as we are, since I am off of work today we plan on spending all day outside in the sun!!! :) Tonight is Aunt April's birthday party, so Alan and I spent most of the morning making her birthday card. I think it looks wonderful! This week's topic: Dealing with Sickies, what do you keep on hand? Thankfully, Alan has a very high immune system like his mother and father. I can't tell you how many times I hear about my co-worker's kids getting sick like every other week, and it just makes me sick to my stomach. Those poor kiddos! :( Alan has probably only ever been sick four times in his life, and a couple of those were just infections. But I'm not going to boast about how my kid is sickness free because about once a year, when the real bad crud is going around, Alan will catch something and get sick. And when he does get sick, it hits him HARD. Poor little man, he will sleep all day and nig

Top Two Tuesday!! April 19, 2011

Alan is doing tons better this morning, and only had one diarrhea blow out last night. He has two and a half hours left of his liquid diet, and he's no longer contagious after noon today. Unfortunately, that means that he will not be able to go to art class today. :\ But I'm just going to prepare him some "homework" so that he still gets his art projects for that week done. And I'm just thankful last night went billions of times better than Sunday night and that he's doing so much better today. He's starting to act like himself again, which makes me smile. :) Hopefully, he'll be able to go back to daycare by tomorrow. :) And now, for Top Two Tuesday!!

Top Two Songs on your Ipod!! Like The Undomestic Mama, I do not have a Ipod lol. :) I used to, my senior year of high school, but it was ruined in 2008 by a spiteful ex girlfriend of my current boyfriend at that time. So I will, like The Undomestic Mama, post my top two favorite songs (as of right now lol). #1 "Digital Love" by Daft Punk #2 "She Don't Use Jelly" by the Flaming Lips I've been viewing a lot of these and I think I'm also gonna post some runner up songs. Because I have so many songs and so many bands that I love, I can't not add a few more! :P Runner up #1 "Aeroplane" by Red Hot Chili Peppers Runner up #2 "Blood Red Summer" by Coheed and Cambria Runner up #3 "Dig" by Incubus Runner up #4 "Redemption Song" by the ever beloved Bob Marley <3 <3 <3
