New News on Ben

Sorry to those of you who only know what is going on because of this blog.. lol Alot has happened since the end of June. Shame on me for not updating! So, here goes:

1. July 10, 2009 Ben turned 1!!! We went to New Mexico with Grandma and Grandpa Call and visit grandpa call's parents (Ben's Oma and Opa). We had tons of fun! Ben had a monkey birthday party, complete with a banana muffin cupcake cake. He loved it so much! For his birthday dinner, we had his favorite: pizza!! Thanks to everyone who gave him presents!
