Birthday Re-Cap

We celebrated Roman's Birthday yesterday with our immediate family. It was a fun little birthday party! Roman is so loved!! Here he is getting ready for his yummy first birthday cake...

Yummy, Yummy....

Then we opened presents... he got LOTS of fun toys and cute outfits!

I love how he is looking at Elmo in this picture...

Last week we went to Gardener Village with some friends to the Petting Zoo. I wanted him to have a little friend party too. :)

He liked the animals, but did NOT want to get close to them. He was a little un-sure. It was so fun to see him watch all the animals!

{note to self: next time you go to a petting zoo,

don't wear sandals. YUCK!!}

Roman and Handsome Daddy went on a pony ride. Roman was totally freaked out at first, but once the pony started moving, he was totally laughing!! He loved it. It was so cute.

It was a great 1st birthday!!

year one.

First came this....

Then came this....

9 pound 1 ounce bundle of sweetness...

growing, growing, growing...

Happy Birthday, my little man.

I can't believe it's already been a year.

I can't imagine life without you.

You make us so happy. You make us laugh all the time. You are into EVERYTHING and anything you can get your hands on. You love your "ba ba." (bottle) You love being outside. You LOVE saying "uh-oh" ALL day long. You have the sweetest, big blueish eyes. You have ONE little tooth which is so cute. You make me cry thinking of you growing up. You are my best little friend. You keep me company all day long. And today, for your birthday, you took a 3 HOUR nap!! What a nice present.

Love you forever,

Mama

Casey's Bowling Birthday

Case and Charlie...

Nick and Tara

Matt and Linds

The Morgans...

And the Birthday Boy! I am sad... I didn't get pictures of so many people who

were there! Especially Casey's two best friends Matt and Cam.

I didn't even get a picture of us together! I need to get better at this!!

Anyway, I put together a little party for Casey back in April at FatCats.

We had a huge turnout and LOTS of pizza.

It was way fun!

(This post is CLEARLY delayed.)

It's about time you meet my better half...

casey benjamin.

i love you so much it hurts.

happy birthday!

~~~~~~~

Today is a big day.

Mr. Casebone turns a quarter of a century!

I am so proud to be married to this man.

Since we fell in love 4 years ago,

he has- and is still becoming so successful.

He has accomplished so much.

He is insanely good at balancing his time.

He works 40 hours a week,

goes to the gym on his lunch break at work,

goes to school tuesday, wednesday and thursday nights,

comes home to study the scriptures,

plays on a softball league on monday nights,

basketball every Saturday...

and still finds time for me.

He is my hero.

So today, its my turn to spoil him rotten.

To start, here are ten things I love and adore about my husband.

1. When he smiles, his eyes squint and he gets these adorable smile lines.

2. He can make me laugh until I cry. (or pee my pants... whichever comes first)

3. You will never hear him complain. About anything!

The most optomistic person you will ever meet.

4. His masculine physique is just about to die for. He is so handsome.

5. He sings all day long. Out loud. He loves to rock out to classic rock.

He has a beautiful singing voice and is a talented guitar player.

6. He will be the best Dad in the whole world. I have known this one

from the very start.

7. He is obsessed with bar soap, loves homeade chocolate chip cookies,

has the BEST skin, and LOVES Diet Coke.

8. He loves to mow the lawn.

9. He can't resist playing with my hair. Ever.

No matter what is going on, if my head is in his hands reach,

he HAS to play with my hair. I think it's an addiction.

10. The love and devotion he has for our Savior. His testimony is so

strong. Also, he makes me feel like the only girl on Earth.

A list of ten things is simply not enough

to explain how much I love him.

But I know he knows. And that's all that matters.

I love you casey!

Happy Birthday!!

Thank you for being my best friend.

For keeping me laughing.

And just so you know,

I still get butterflies when you kiss me.

xoxo. your wife
