Baseball Camp

Mary has been taking Benjamin to the Children't Museum. We just recently enrolled him in baseball camp, and this was his first time.

Benjamin's trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

Mary took Benjamin to a Pumpkin Patch outing with a group from our church. He got to ride a pony, which he loved.

He rode on a train and waved to everyone.

He picked out a pumpkin to bring home.

He played tetherball - his favorite!

He got to pet the bunny rabbits.

He fed the goats

and sheep, and lots of other animals. And then, he was tired...

Jewel's wedding

I'm a little late getting these pictures up. Quite a few things have happened over the last few weeks. Jewel got married! We are all so happy for her and Marcus. We went to Dallas two weekends ago for the wedding and got to hang out with the Briggs family.

Benjamin was playing with Jewel's guitar. That was the highlight of his trip - he loved it!

Isaiah! There isn't much to say about him but,"Adorable!"

The ceremony was so sweet - they wrote their own vows - How romantic!

I took Isaiah's pacifier away for the picture - he wasn't very happy with me...

Arkansas Vacation!

We went to Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas for a few days with our friends the Ogles and the Kenneys. Riley and Benjamin had so much fun playing together.

Benjamin and Daddy reading a book.

Benjamin and Riley loved playing in the pool. We had them pose for us before we went.

Stephanie and Benjamin reading a book. I'm pretty sure he had everyone read to him by the end of the trip.

Mia, Riley and Benjamin had a blast together!

Reading - again...

We watched the first LSU game of the season. Benjamin says, "Go Tigers, GRRRRR!"

Gran and Poppy visit

Gran and Poppy came to visit the weekend of Benjamin's birthday.

He got a book, this cute outfit plus more great clothes, and Elmo. This is the Hokey-Pokey Elmo, and Benjamin LOVES him!

I decided to make an apple cake for dessert, and Benjamin says, "I help?" So we made it together - he helped pour and stir - such a great helper!

Happy Birthday Benjamin!

Benjamin turned 2 on August 26th!

Mary, who takes care of him, who Benjamin sweetly calls May-May, has been teaching him to hold two fingers when we ask him how old he is - he's working on it. We got him a Toy Story train set for his birthday. He played all morning with it.
Mary and her husband Daniel came with us to the birthday dinner.
Benjamin was ready to eat!

After dinner, we had funfetti cupcakes at our house. He opened his presents from Mary, a musical instrument puzzle and a bubble making lawn mower. She also decorated his play room with lots of balloons with the number 2 on them. Benjamin's two favorites - balloons and bubbles!

Family time

Benjamin had fun playing at a park nearby our house

at Will and Nolan's birthday party.
