Love all these people! I think the best is Ben screaming in the back, and Drake eyeing the ice cream!
10-10-10 at 10:10, the funny thing about this picture is Danny and I sat waiting for 10:10 so we could take a picture,we got distracted and all the sudden Danny was like it says 10:10 so we hurried and got the camera on and by the time we took the picture it was 10:11, thank goodness for photoshop right!
Ben and Drake and Grace had fun pushing each other around all night.

It was such a beautiful day, we had fun over at the park

Fall

Enjoying a beautiful conference sunday in Logan
Will and Drew LOVE Ben! They take such good care of him. Will is always making sure he is safe and Drew is making sure he's having fun! I really honestly hope they know how grateful I am for them. They are going to be the best big brothers, they find out Wednesday what they are having!!!

Hurray! The Aggies beat BYU! We are all hoping Ben wont be in college before they do it again
Danny thought it looked like Ben was getting a mullet, all I could see is darling little curls...

Well the curls are no more, Danny promised me they would be back in no time, well see!

Danielle's wedding shower. I love seeing all my cute friends.
Meet Ella Kaye Pattison! She is SO beautiful and tiny! It was so much fun to see her, Ben on the other had was not to happy about me holding another baby. He cried and tried to hit her.
I think Danny has a new girl friend! This duck wouldn't leave his side!

Happy 13 Months!

I went outside to water the plants and beofre I knew it Ben was socked so we took the clothes off and let him run wild!

Ben's One Year old Photo Shoot

Hayley's friend Ashleigh, did these, she also took Ben's pictures when he was born. She is so good, but sadly she moved to California so I was lucky enough to go along with Hayley when she came to.

Happy 1st Birthday Benjamin!

I've been taking a picture every month on the 10th! It is amazing to see how much they change.

My little boy is 1! That year went by so fast, but it was one of the best years of my life!

Wynter, Hannah, Drew, Ben, Will, Drake and Grace!
I think I have been watching to much "cake boss" Danny kept coming out while I was working on this, and I was wow your serious about this!

He had quite a good time with this. He was a mess by teh time he was done!

We got to go swimming down in Bountiful a couple days before to celebrate

Good Friends!

I figured out the pictures! So catch up time
