First year of Benton's Life...

Pettiskirts

I had these great skirts made here in Mexico for a fraction of the price of an original pettiskirt. Maybe I will start selling them. They turned out beautifully. My girls LOVE them.

#1 Fan

As we all know...Garrett is the biggest Lakers fan in the whole world. He has been ever since he was a kid. Well, Tori came out one {game night} dressed like this... I think we have the #2 biggest Lakers fan in the making.

Happy New Year. 2009.

We spent New Year's Eve celebrating with our girls. We pulled out the party favors and the sparkling cider and then brought the new year in playing cards with Aunt Carol and Uncle Fred, DeeDee and her kids. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We love Daddy...

I came home from working-out and this is what I found. I LOVE how they adore their father. He is so good to them. He can be a HUGE tease but he is the best father EVER!

These are a few of my favorite things:

Benton 11 months.

Benton- 1

Benton Harris Hatch 7lbs. 4oz. 22 inches long
Born January 20th

Benton loves his daddy. We spent the summer swimming and Benton loved his freedom in the water.

Benton loves to laugh. He keeps us smiling. He is a happy baby and our little Prince.

This was Garrett's only successfully grown chile this year. Happy Halloween.

Benton did the "stink bug crawl." He didn' t like putting his knees down EVER. He is one fast little bug. He gets into everything.

This year he learned how to sit, crawl, stand, chew, bite, and talk. We are working on walking for next year. His first words were, DAD, EAT and BYE. He is all boy and is about to eat us out of house and home...already!

For Christmas he got a puppy. He loves interacting with this dog. I love to watch them play.
