Our New Fence & Lotus House

We took out the old fence and `doors` and Dad built us a new fence along with a glass house for our lotus plants. It`s really opened up the area and we love it! Thanks Dad!

Easter Saturday at Ali`s

Had a great dinner at Ali`s for Easter Saturday, it was SO great to see the two boys playing together, Benton just needs to learn to be a little more gentle.

Akira taught Benton how to shoot hoops today, it was awesome. Thanks Akira!

Finally! Benton is finally taking a few steps!

Will have to remember to take pictures of the adults next time!

Grandpa Ball and Benton

Benton Turns 1!!

I can't believe he's already 1, we've been through a lot this past year, he is growing like crazy and seems to be developing into quite the character. I can't believe we had TWO parties for him, although I don't think it would have been possible to combine the two as our house doesn't quite accommodate that many comfortably!
