Happy Birthday Ben!

This week Ben celebrated his 4th Birthday...its so hard to believe. He is soo much fun. He has such a great little personality and to me it just seems like everyone loves Ben (maybe I am biased). He is just the kind of person you want to be around. SO here are my top 10 things I love about Ben (in no paricular order)...

1. Ben has the most contagious laugh I have ever heard....even when he is in trouble I find myself cracking up at him.
2. He LOVES Sparky...he is a huge ASU football fan!
3. He is very coordinated...he can already ride a bike with no training wheels.

4. He is obsessed with Root Beer. I can get him to do almost anything if I promise him a root beer after.

5. He loves to show everyone how fast he is. There is nothing better than a race.

6. He knows all of the names of heavy machinery (ie excavators, back hoes) and corrects me if I call something the wrong name.

7. He loves his bear bear...he received a blue bear from his Aunt Reagan when he was born and he can't sleep with out it.

8. He loves his daddy...Every single morning the first thing he says to me is "wheres daddy?"

9. For his Birthday all he ask for was 1. white bread (I guess I buy too much wheat) 2. big apples (I always buy the bags of apple slices from Costco) and 3. to bring doughnuts to his preschool class....how easy is that.

10. He is so cuddly. He always asks me to snuggle with him...I love it.

For his Birthday...we had a little Pirate Party for some of his school and church friends. Ben kept saying "a party...for me?" He couldn't believe he got to have his OWN party. On his actual Birthday we had dinner (Ben picked pancakes...so easy) and cake and ice cream with our family and both sets of granparents. Ben shares a Birthday with his Papa Jones so it is fun that they can celebrate together.
