We celebrated Benjamin's second birthday at our house again this year with some close family and friends. I was only 3 days away from my due date so I wasn't sure how the day would go. Everything went perfectly and everyone had a wonderful time. A big thank you to everyone who helped celebrate with us specially to my mom who flew out early just for the party!

I wanted to put this picture in as a comparison to last year..even though it feels as though he hasn't grown this year.. clearly he has :)
As much as I wanted to make his cake this year..Josh insisted I didn't add any extra stress (I was up till 3am and took me 5 hours plus to make his 1st birthday cake). Plus everyone loves ice cream cake!

We also got to celebrate his birthday with his friends at daycare.. he was pretty happy about that..
Right around the 8 month mark we decided to have some family photo's done of our family before baby. We had them done by a photographer here in town who has her own really neat studio. I think they turned out pretty great and can't wait to get them done again with Miss. Olivia. ( be prepared -- photo overload! )
Trying to catch up on the blog - I finally made it to the month of June.. One of our busiest months and will be for the rest of our lives.. along with father's day and a few family members birthday's, Josh and I also celebrate our wedding anniversary, Benjamin's birthday and now Olivia's birthday!
This year for our anniversary we decided to go to his Grandparents trailer for a few days. It was so nice to sit and relax. We didn't take many pictures but we did have a lot of fun swimming, campfires on the beach, watching movies, and just spending some quality family time before our new addition.
Benjamin was pretty excited to eat some marshmallows..
This video goes to show just how there is never a dull moment with Benjamin around... this is sure to make you laugh!
In June Ben and I went to this event in Chatham, There was tons of free, fun activities for kids of all ages. We had a blast as you can tell...

For Father's day, we celebrated by having my brother, his son and girlfriend and my step dad over for dinner. It was such a nice evening..I don't get to see them as much as I would like so it was nice to have
them over.
