Happy Birthday Ben!

Last week, Ben celebrated his 9th birthday. I talked him into just celebrating with family this year and he picked his favorite restaurant...Red Robin..to go to dinner. Zac's family came and we enjoyed a nice night out to celebrate with Ben.

Ben loves new clothes....especially plaid shorts! He thinks he is a fashion expert....and what I get a kick out of is that he likes to make comments about what I'm wearing on occasion! Like..."Mom...I don't think that looks very good what you are wearing"...or..."Mom...that is a nice shirt....is that new?" He cracks me up!


His actual birthday was the next day, but since he had school and soccer practice..there wasn't much time to celebrate! He was excited to take some soccer cupcakes to practice to pass out to his teammates. He was also excited that I bought him Subway for dinner...he loves a good sandwich!

Ben is a great kid. He definitely has broken us in as the 1st child..trying us in every possible way, but we love to see him grow and are so glad he's part of our family! I might post some baby pictures because I've had fun looking back through the last 9 years...but we'll see if I ever get around to it!

Happy birthday Ben! And I was going to say the same comment about the candles. Where did you get those?

Happy Birthday Ben! I did not know he liked clothes. How funny. Two years ago at Christmas my mom bought the boys some clothes, when they saw the Gap box they freaked out. Grandma no longer buys clothes for gifts anymore.
