Benjamin's 2nd Birthday


Rusty & I were in town most of the day--waiting for the van to get fixed.  

On Tuesday, I loaded up the van & buckled Benjamin in his car seat, only to have the van not start.  So I buckled another car seat into the truck & went to town in Rusty's truck.

So we made an appointment to get the starter fixed.  (the van would start sometimes, but not others).

Anyways, since  the van wasn't finished until after 3 pm & Benjamin isn't that picky of an eater, I decided to just pick up pizza for dinner.
He started unwrapping his presents very carefully--like he wasn't sure if it was okay to rip the paper! 
 and then he got really excited because there were toys in the paper.
 and clothes--he was even excited about the clothes, because most of them were Toy Story.
 Hey--it's Woody!!!
 And my very own computer!!!  I got this "computer" at DI in the hopes that he would leave my laptop alone.  He can open my laptop, & thinks it is fun to type on my computer :(

 playing with his dragon that walks & flaps his wings.  it's pretty cool.
 He likes his Toy Story book.  I bought Toy Story 3 when I went to town on Tuesday to complete our collection.
 Trying to show us how Buzz Lightyear works.
 Brienna baked & decorated his cake while we were in town.  I had bought some tubes of frosting to help decorate when I got home, but Brienna didn't know that.  I think she did a good job without any help & with just using baggies (no tips, etc..)
 And more importantly--Benjamin liked his cake & knew who it was!
 Trying to blow out his 2 birthday candles. 
 Grandma & Grandpa Stewart--it is also Grandma Marge's birthday on the same day as Ben.  So we sang happy birthday to her too.
Benjamin wrapped up in his blanket & started "working" on his computer after we had cake & ice cream.

Happy Birthday to my little man--He is now officially 2, so NOW he can start making those messes ;)
