One Year Old!

We celebrated Shiloh's very first birthday on July 5th followed by her birthday party that Saturday. Sam, being the great dad that he is, took off work so we could spend the day with her. We had a special breakfast of blueberry pancakes and got to visit the museum. But Shiloh's favorite part might have been ending the day with a strawberry cupcake...many pictures to follow. MANY. Lots of happenings this month, as you will see...

This one just made me laugh. She just woke up.

Father's Day Card

Father's Day Lunch

Fried chicken, mashed pots, southern green beans, and biscuits. I wish I had some right now.

And Father's Day dessert: Strawberries Romanoff

Getting ready for her first airplane ride.

I wish I could say she did this the whole time!

This was really for like 5 minutes, but she was so sweet during those five:)

Hiking

And more hiking...it was fun, but goodness, we got a lot of exercise!:)

Sam and I at Scott and Kaylie's wedding-it was BEAUTIFUL there!

Sam and Shiloh at Yellowstone..with some bison friends.

The Grand Prismatic Spring-my yellowstone must see

I mean, look at that!!! Can you believe it is real?!

Perhaps our favorite meal on our trip-cafeteria food from Yellowstone-I'm serious.

Shiloh could not have enough creamed spinach!

And this is me looking happy right before I had the worst eggs in the history of planet Earth. SO gross. 

One of our creative set ups to hide Shiloh from us. We have a chair on a table with a blanket on top.

She's cute.

Shiloh getting educated about Yellowstone wildlife.

Doesn't she look cute in glasses?

And a cupcake at night! Lots of cupcake photos to follow:)

Make sure to note her cupcake fangs in this picture.

And then we had a breakfast birthday party...

with lots of food...

Lots of birthday presents...

Including a special new shirt...SHILOH IS GOING TO BE A BIG SISTER!!!
That's right, Binkley baby #2 is due in January! We are quite delighted over it too:)

11 months

Just one more month to go and then BAM! One year old. Yes, the time has flown by. But it also feels like it's just been a year and I'm glad I feel that way. We've had so much fun with all of Shiloh's babyness and I look forward to her toddlerness, kindergartenerness, so on and so forth...
And now for the Binkley pictorial month in review:

Soccer season is almost up for Courtney. She doesn't mind though:) But I did get this great picture with JC out of the deal. Had to post it in case y'all hadn't seen it on facebook yet:)

Soccer Dad

Shiloh was paid a visit by her Great Aunt Nelda!

We had to say good-bye to Auntie JC this month as she is off to far away lands to tell other people about Jesus. This is at her send off in the church parking lot.

But we had to go to cafe capp, one more time before she left!

Shiloh loves carrying things around in her mouth. In this case, an apple from Selah's party. Shiloh loves these things!

We got to go swimming for the first time for Mother's Day!

Camping with Pops and Ken at Inks Lake-Shiloh trying to take her first sip of coffee

Crawling around the tent

Look at that adorable face!

Please note the squirrel that is very close to our daughter. She's basically Snow White.

Had to post this interesting breakfast combo. BBQ sauce on eggs-the brainchild of my dad.

Trying to reenact the Chaco picture in the waterfall from 2 years prior-remember that Sheryl, Laura, and Jeff? However, we didn't want to sit in the fall and get wet, so it is not quite the same:)

So cute-after swimming.

Dear Luke and Ryder (and Aunt Kiki), I LOVE my beach ball. Thank you!!!

11 Months Old!!!

Photo sessions are a little more difficult now with her growing curiosity. In this case, it was the camera case's fault.
