BIRTHDAY!!

Our little baby turned 1 this week, and boy was it a birthday week! First we celebrated with the Dillon side of the family after we had the Teltschik family reunion in Kerrville (and it was a family reunion done up right!---300+ people from mostly Texas and Germany, where the family originated). We went to Corpus Christi after the reunion and celebrated birthday there with Ross's family, then we had a little celebration at Matthew's daycare (and since Mommy is off right now, got to go and take pics), and then on Saturday we celebrated with Grandma BB and cousins Connor and Madison and Mommy and Daddy.  SOOOO fun and this little guy made out pretty darn good from all of his family and got enough clothes, toys and books to last until Christmas for sure. Here are some great pics from all the birthday...

 Splashing around with Lauren and Kaitlyn at Grandma and Paw Paw's house.

 Mesmorized by "Happy Birthday to You" singing. Right after the song, he started humming aloud.

 MMMMMM

 This is so good!

Here are a few pics from the last month or so. I have been so busy lately I hadn't had a chance to post anything, but I'll try to get more in this summer as we return from trips.

 Matthew LOVES watching Daddy mow. He waits for him to pass by.

 I think someone is tired?

 Water baby fell asleep in Mama's arms. This is one of the very few pics we took on our trip to Florida to hang out with Pam and John and the rest of the Benson fam.

 Matthew is such a little water baby--he absolutely loves playing in the water.

 Cheese! I love this funny face!
