Ben just had his tenth birthday. I am a little frightened..how far is 10 from puberty? Not far enough. :) Despite this we had a fun time celebrating. Ben got a new bike which he picked out. It is a gear bike. Bigger bike for a bigger boy. He also bought a new wii game called Pokemon Park 2. All the kids love that. Saturday we went to Planet Play for four semi long hours. The kids also loved that. Mom and Dad...well, it was super fun. HAHA. Ben is really growing up. He is a good kid. He has a mind of his own. This makes it harder to get him to do things he doesn't want to do, but it also makes him more independent and I know that I can trust him when I need him. He has a great time being a kid and luckily, he has really good friends here. Ben likes to act silly when he is in a crowd but if you get him one on one he is just happy to have your attention and talk. Ben loves his sisters and will really come through for them when they need him. He is a big fan of his dad and loves time with just the boys. Ben is a very unique and awesome kid. Happy Birthday Ben!!!

That angelic face can be so deceiving.  :)

We all love Ben! 

Look at how peaceful and sweet he was.  So cute. 

He got a rough start but has been going full speed ever since.
