Ben's 1st Birthday Bash

I can't believe our little baby is 1!  This has been the most challenging, yet rewarding year of our lives.  Benjamin is perfect.  He's a happy, healthy, wonderful little guy.  Enjoy the pics.  It details the amazing day he had on his birthday!  Thank you everyone for making this day so fun!  


























St. Pete Beach, FL


Ben loved being on vacation.  He took to the hotel crib perfectly and was pretty much on schedule the whole time.  I just love his face in this picture.  He was such a little sneaky baby.  Every time we said don't do something, he just smiled and continued on his mission.  Toilets, trash cans, cabinets, and drawers were all no match for Ben.  He conquered them all! 


Tyler did a fabulous job finding a room that had a separate living space from sleeping space.  It was perfect for us to hang out after Ben went to sleep.  

13 weeks preggo and getting ready to have the best weekend ever.  I celebrated my 30th bday and 1st Mother's Day in St. Pete Beach.  This is my new favorite vacay spot.  It's just a 2 hour plane ride away and the water was crystal clear.  


Sunscreen overload yet the baby still got tan!


That little face makes my heart melt.


Tyler bought me a clicker for my camera to take family pics.  It worked like a charm.  Next thing on my wish list, a tripod.  


The next several pics were taken at John's Pass.  We went there a couple times during our trip.  The first time, we happened to stumble into a Pirate Festival.  It very interesting to say the least.  People have some very different hobbies.  Ben surely was entertained by all of the people walking around though.  I'm not joking when I say, "There were pirates EVERYWHERE!"     




Our little scalawag!


He was so happy during the whole trip and we just loved spending every minute with him.  This will be our new family vacay spot.  I hope Ben enjoys coming here for years to come.
