Random catch up

The computer or the internet is on the fritz so I haven't been able to post for awhile, I know I won't be able to get a picutre, I may try any way though. Since it has been so long here is a bit of randomness to entertain you.

• We have discovered a great way to start prayer is by playing the crawling game. For a few minutes everyone get down and crawls in a circle, that way we are all on our knees and in a circle. Glen loves the game, he requests it even, and kneels better if we play it first.
• Benjamin likes to head butt and wrestle. A lot.
• PS, Benjamin can eat peanut butter now. I'm going to try apples next, but I have also added onions to the list of allergies.
• This week I am going to try to make cushioned strap's for the boys' car seats so the straps do not cut into their neck. Lets hope my friend can make something of my nearly non existent sewing skill.
• John is hoping to survive the Zombie Apocalypse this week. You can join him at SLCC if you want.
• I never thought I'd say it, but I miss summer. I am cold.
• Seriously, it's only mid terms? I want my husband back!
• and most importantly invictus amor

Benajmin's first birthday

Wow! I can't believe it has been a year already. Time has gone by so fast, so very fast. A year already. The thought of my sweet Benjamin never fails to bring a smile to my face. Benjamin is my special little guy. He the one that sees me, and runs into my arms with a smile one his face, he is the one that lays his head on my shoulder just because, then jumps on me and wants to wrestle. He is the one that misses me when I am gone, who smiles just for me. He is my little ray of sun.
It took Benjamin the longest time to smile for anyone else, he would reserve his smile just for me. Now he shares his smiles more, but there is a special light that I only see when he is smiling for me. It's almost like he is sharing something with me, a secret or something.
Benjamin's favorite things are: dogs, cars, balls, mommy, putting toys into containers and bags, home made fries, wrestling with daddy, following his brother around, and playing with him. He has a ten word vocabulary, signs three to five words, walks, tries to run, climbs stairs and everything else like a regular mountain goat, and loves to make others smile. He has started to enjoy playing more and will run away when I chase him, jump on Glen or daddy to help tickle, and play ball in all forms.
I love my sweet little Benjamin so much, I cherish every smile. I do not know why it was so important to have Benjamin be a part of our family right now, but I am so grateful to Heavenly Father for the gift that Benjamin is in my life. He brings me such joy, he is my sunshine, my toothless, my smiley boy. I love him so much.

"A Book"

"Meow"
"Mommy, you're not a kitty."
"Am I a cow?"
"No."
"A horse?"
"No."
"You're right, I am a mommy."
"What kind of mommy?"
"A human mommy."
"No, not a human."
"Not a human? Well then, what am I."
Glen thinks for a minute...then with a look of intense concentration "You're a book!"
