Happy 1st Birthday Ben!

Yesterday Ben Turned one and had a great day. It was filled with family and friends. We are grateful to have him in our lives and look forward to many birthdays ahead.
Ben's 1st cake. Allison spent a lot of time and did a great job with his cake.

Ben has learned to love balloons. He used to scream when he saw them but now he can't get enough of them.

He got some tractors and lots of toys. Thanks to everyone who made this day a great one.

Cake and more cake. Ben couldn't get enough

He's Walking

Ben started to walk within the past couple of weeks and sure enough he has
taken his share of spills.

Graduation

I just wanted to give a shout out to my little sister, Annalee! She graduated from the University of Utah yesterday, Suma Cum Laude (with a 4.0 GPA!). It was so fun to go and see her walk, and to celebrate this accomplishment with her. I love her so much. We wish Annie the best as she now begins life after school. Love you, Annie!

Here's Ben enjoying an OREO he is starting to enjoy more and more foods.

Here's Ben and Trent. He is bud's with all of his cousins but is forming a great bond with Brad, Trent, and Nate, since he sees them everyday. He gets so excited and just screams when they come downstairs to see him.

Here we are at Alan's mission reunion. We are with the Onleu's the current Mission President in the Ivory Coast. At conference President Onleu was called as an Area Authority 70 so we were pretty excited. He was a Stake President while Alan was serving.
