Birthdays!

Yesterday we went to 2 Birthday parties! Can we just say.... to much cake! No, but really it was a lot of fun! They were pretty special birthdays too! First we went to my niece Lindy's 1 year birthday! Don't you just love the cake Lexi made?! The frosting is fondant (everything but the duckies), yes the soap, the faucet, and the nobs! Amazing right?! Lindy is totally obsessed with Rubber Duckies, so of course it was a rubber ducky theme! It was so cute the house was also decorated super cute with duckies.

The cake she actually destroyed was a different one, but she sure did a good job destroying it! She is sooo dang cute!

This is deffinately Allan's baby! ;)

The next party we went to was for Aaron (Benjamin's best friend). I even got to make his cake! It was a Toy Story theme, so I made a Buzz Light year spaceship cake! Benjamin thought it was pretty cool!

Here it is with the Buzz and Alien candles on it at the party.

And here are the kids posing for a picture with the big card board cut outs! I went half on these with Yadira, so you will probably see them again at Benjamin's party. :)

Itty Bitty BASKETBALL!!!

Itty Bitty Basketball started Jan. 3rd and I think Benjamin was more excited for this than Christmas! He LOVES Baskeball! Are you surprised? Like father like son. Anyway, here is his team and individual photo! He's so cute! And looks just like Isaac! Here are a few highlights...

5 little buddies all participated together
Isaac, Dillon, Benjamin, Aaron, & Bentley

"Passing" a beach ball

A creative way to get them from Station to Station (pretending to be Crocodiles)

A Team cheer!

Play Defense

Here Benjamin is making a shot! But of course one of the coaches totally blocked the picture. Oh well. In the first pic. he is about to shoot and in the second you can see his awesome follow through, look at that arc in his wrist! He's a pro! And by the way, he totally made the shot! Way to go Benjamin!

Two little cheerleaders!

Being mischievous

On the last day they played a lot of "games" against each other, but at the end they added a game of duck, duck, goose.

The girls enjoyed watching

And at the very end, they brought out the giant parachute again! It was so fun!

And a Visit from Lenny the Lion!

Being Silly & giving High fives! We had so much fun! Thanks Yadi for the great pictures! My blog would be nothing with out you!

Jesus wants Benjamin for a Sunbeam

Well, here he is! Can you believe it?! I have a child in Primary! He was so excited after his first day in Primary. After church he jumped into my arms and said, "Mama! I went to the Primary!!!" (in Spanish of course). He absolutely loves it! I get lots of praises about what a good boy he is! He participates and has even said the opening prayer all by himself. He was so proud! How time flys. It seems like just yesterday he was a baby. He is such a good little boy! I just love him!

Happy New Year!

For New Year's we decided to join my in-laws at their ward New Year's Dance! It was a blast, especially because we did not have our kids with us!! We got to dance the night away! My sister-in-law decided not to go and offered to watch the kids! We couldn't say no to that! Thank you Rosi! You are the best! Last year was full of blessings! We hope to have another great year. Here are some pics of the party.
