Happy 1 year old Birthday Benjamin!

So our little man is officially 1 years old! He melts our heart every day with his cute smiles, giggles, his own language, learning to high five, and his Frankenstein walking. We love him so much. Enjoy a few pictures from last night. It just seems as though he has grown up over night. Also, not shown is Benjamin drinking his first glass of chocolate milk! He really loved it. And just so you know the cake pictures are not featured here yet. On his actual birthday night, Ben got really sleepy and feel asleep early. We will be doing cake tonight, and we will post the pictures as soon as we can! And his big 1 year old birthday party with friends will be at the end of the month. We are waiting till Daddy finishes his training he is doing for the next few weeks and then we will party it up 1 year old style! But when we do it will be a fun CARS themed party! Notice his special outfit he is wearing for his birthday outfit???


Gimme a hug!

Daddy and Ben


Up close on Ben and Mommy!

Birthday dinner

Tonight Ben tried his first shrimp and linguini!

The verdict is still out on whether or not he liked it or not. But seriously - look at what a big boy he is, with his spoon and plate!!!

Giving Benji his present - (at least one of them)


Look what I got for a present - PETER PAN!

Peter Pan. In my opinion, the best Disney movie EVER. That new playset from Grandma looks fun Ben. Can't wait until it's in Utah so we can come and play on it!

Okay so Carter wanted me to hold him while I looking at your blog-so I say "that is Ben on his birthday" he goes, "Ben -pause- FRIEND!" It was so cute. Hopefully that will be a true statement! Happy Birthday Ben!

Baby "Bean" Gardner first ultrasound

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...

Decorating the boys room

I have some decisions to make. For the first 4-6 months Zach will sleep in his cradle in the master bedroom. But then after that, Ben and Zach will be sharing a room. We do qualify for a 3 bedroom. However, I have no desire to move any time soon. So it's decorating time! For the past 3 years Benjamin's room has been sports theme. Dan and I both love sports. That is no secret. However, I am a little burned out of sports theme. And Ben's crib bedding is stained, ripped, and faded. So, I need to decide on Zach's bedding and a new set for Ben. So I need your input! My mission if I wish to accept it, is to choose a new theme for the room without breaking the bank. I also have to keep in mind that whatever we choose for Zach, will be with him for the next 3 or more years. First option - This is my favorite. However Dan insists that is is way too girly and will give Zach a "complex". ;) What do you think? Too girly? We would just have the basic bedding. Not the wall...
