Good times were had by all...

Benjamin, Bridget, and Alexander--enjoying the party and food...even though Benjamin is ready to RUN!

Who did it?

Gloria's beautiful birthday cake, with a little QA check courtesy of...BENJAMIN! He wanted to make sure his grandma's cake tasted good enough for her. Let us assure you that it did!

Birthdays are very serious business.

Gloria and Becky discuss who is to blame for the surprise party. Neither will take responsibility!

I know the answer.

Gloria at her 65th surprise birthday party--raising her hand to answer a question...or maybe it was just that she did not want her picture taken???

I don't WANT to go to bed!

Sometimes, the sidewalk seems so much more comfy than your own bed. NOT!

Benjamin decided to take a break from playing too hard and he and Lamby laid down on the ground for a short rest!

One Big(?) Happy Family

Aren't we cute? It's our summer look...courtesy of a whirlwind trip we took to Florida. This is "Benjamin's Family"

:)

I'm so HAPPY!!!!

Here he is, ladies and gentlemen...the man...the one...the only...

STEVE PITTS!!!

Smiling his "perma-grin" smile!

Surprise...it's ME!

Benjamin and Mommy having a little hide and go seek fun....

A day in the life...

Molly dog, resting after a long, hard, day of chasing Benjamin (or was it the other way around?).

Who says dogs don't laugh...look at her!

Better yet, who says they don't have a sense of humor? Here she is, sticking her tongue out at someone!

Dear God, I promise to be a good boy if you will please let me help Mommy mow the grass.

Thanks, God! :)

Back Home Again...

Aunt Marilyn's flowers--from her farm in Indiana...

Aunt Marilyn's hummingbird flower...

A tribute to my Uncle Bob, who left us to be with Jesus on July 17, 2007.

Down on the Farm...

My Uncle Lowell, on my Uncle Bob's tractor, mowing down some very, very tall grass. (You can take the farm boy out of Indiana, but you can't take Indiana out of the farm boy!)













Uncle Lowell's trademark--his pipe!

Mommy and Me

A little Saturday morning Benjamin and Mommy time (taken by Mommy)...ignore the big, ugly one...pay attention to the cute, short one!











I LOVE MY MOMMY!!





Benjamin doesn't seem to care about my heart-felt discussion about his milk-drinking habits!

Benjamin goes to work (Part 1)

Benjamin's adventures in fixing the floor--or Daddy. He may have a future in construction? Maybe construction of the heart...but he LOVES his "tools". :) Watch out Home Depot--your youngest worker is coming!!





In case you didn't know his last name--our dear friends in England, Danielle and Joel Wilson, made sure of this with this great shirt they sent.
Plus, it's important to know the name of the person fixing your floors!
















Hard at work, he takes a moment to "fix" Daddy!






























"I love my job!"
(and aren't I cute?)

Benjamin goes to work (part 2)

The floor needs fixing...miniature future Home Depot person...










How may I help you?







Aren't I cute? Look at how well I fix the floor!!!

How do you use snow shovels in Georgia?

As demonstrated by the lovely Steve, you can see that snow shovels do indeed have a very good purpose in Georgia! (scooping grass from mowing) :)
