Benjamin

Benjamin turned 4 1/2 yesterday. We started celebrating all of the kids half birthdays a few years back. They don't receive any gifts. We usually just let them pick out something sweet to eat for dessert. He picked out a red velvet cake.  He is energetic, happy, and lots of fun! I love his smile and curiousity for life. He also gets into lots of trouble for being so curious or because he does things he KNOWS he shouldn't do but wants to see what he can get away with. He really is trying to grow up fast. He says, "When I'm __ years old, I'm going ______." He sees Victoria and Nicholas doing things he can't do yet and it is really hard for him to understand that he can't physically, mentally, or emotionally do what they are doing. He gives everything 110%! We are so glad he blessed our lives on 10/5/2006. Below are a few photos that show off Benjamin's personality.

Benjamin put his blue blankie in the freezer to
cool off. He is waiting patiently.

 

Benjamin passed out in Arizona at my sister in law's house
after a long day of playing.

Benjamin taking a picture of himself. He cracked up
when he saw the picture.

He is always ready for a fight.

This is Benjamin's "I'm up to something" look.

Benjamin being silly.

He is always trying to look tough. This is
the look he gave his opponents when he
played basketball.
