Happy 5th Birthday Ben!

Today Ben turns 5 years old! I can't believe it! This picture was taken the day we brought him home from the hospital and it feels like yesterday!

Ben was the sweetest baby and was always a good sleeper. He still to this day sleeps with this blanket and bear every night!

Ben LOVES Sammy! And is always wanting to be like her!

Ben also loves being a big brother to Nate...he is such a good example to him and has the sweetest heart! He seriously CAN'T WAIT to meet his new baby sister!

In this picture Ben is 3 years old...this is his 1st day of preschool and he LOVES to go to school!

Ben loves to play any sport and is very athletic and fast!

Ben shares a Birthday with my Dad and his Twin Brother...this picture was taken on Ben's 1st Birthday! Happy Birthday Dad and Uncle Dave!

Ben really is a sweet boy and my sister Reagan calls him "the future Student Body President" because everybody LOVES him!

Ben is really into...Star Wars (especially Lightsabers), Legos, cars, MOTORCYLCES, running, sports, pretty much anything that makes loud noises and goes FAST!

He loves to take care of his mom by getting drinks and helping me do things around the house.

Ben is really thoughtful...he always asks Benson at dinner "Dad, how was work?" or when I go for a walk in the evenings with friends the next morning he will ask me how my walk was. He is very thoughtful when he buys gifts for people. He bought Benson a keychain for Christmas that says #1 Dad on it and said "Dad, you didn't have a keychain and now you do" I thought it was so cute that he noticed Benson didn't have a keychain and bought one for him!

Some of Ben's favorite things on his 5th Birthday are..

Food: I would have to say Fruit Loops or any kind of cereal
Drink: Root beer
Song: "Do as I'm Doing" to sing but "Ring of Fire" to listen to
Activity: riding his bike
Game: Uno or Connect 4
Friend: Brendan

We love you Ben! Happy Birthday!
