Happy Birthday Benjamin!

My little boy Benjamin turned 4 years old today. He is getting so big. He is getting really good at helping Sam. He is even trying to break Sam of his binkie. He always takes it away so that he can talk. He was sad today when his cousin told him that he was too old to go into the ball pit at Papas Pizza. It says that you have to be 3 or younger to go in. So today he turned 4 so he was too big. He still played in the balls. I love him so much and don't know what I would do without him.

Fire Department had to come to our house.

We almost had to call the fire department to come to our house. Look at that birthday cake with all of those candles. Corey insisted on putting 43 candles on his cake.

Ben getting all of the frosting off the candles.

Looks like someone took a gun to that cake.

My happy Sammy!

Who needs a fork when you have fingers and a hand.

Look at that bite.

After 10 years

Yeah, I fit into my overalls now. I used to wear them when James and I first met. Of course the kids need in the picture with me.

Pictures of Haley and T.J's Wedding

We had family friends that got married on New Years Eve. James was going to go with me but the boys came down with a pretty bad cold. I didn't want them to go and get my nieces and nephew sick because they have a new little sister coming soon. James stayed home with the boys and I went with my sisters.

Sammy got his first hair cut.

We were able to have our friend from Bend give Sammy his first hair cut. He looks so much older now. I will miss his curls.

Before his hair cut.

The first Cut

He did pretty good.

Cutting the back

After his hair cut, but I think he still had wings on the side so I asked her if she would cut them off.

Ben wanted his hair cut also.

He did really well.

Using the vacuum to get the little hairs off of him.

Ben's turn to get all the little hairs off.

He wanted to vacuum the house.

Happy Boy!

So cute.

My big boy!

Love this smile.

Back view will still a little curls.

Look at that smile.

Ben as Buzz Lightyear video

Ben was so excited when he got Buzz Lightyear wings. We had to explain to him that they don't really fly. He wanted to fly to Albertsons when we went on a walk on Christmas. He was showing everyone in the store. They were really nice to listen to a 3 year old about his wings. It was really cute when a guy that had already seen them was with us on another isle and asked him to show him again. Ben was excited to show him again.

Ben's remote control Buzz Lightyear.

Ben got a remote control Buzz Lightyear from Santa. Here is a video with Daddy showing Ben how to use the remote control. He picked up how to operate it really fast.
